Oh my. What a day! Mind if I vent? Close your eyes if you do..hehe. Lost some bigtime casharoony today. Been talking with my margin broker and mortgage broker today. First, I thought I shorted 3k DSLN. However one of my three 1k short orders was for 10k not 1k. Sigh...careless. Covered 1.5k at close yesterday and margin lady save my arse on the other 10.5k for me. I'll tell ya..this is one time I didn't mind intervention. I lost about 10k on this but could of been more 'cause I had a stop loss at 8.5 for only 1.5k which would of been another 10k without her help. I tell you this as a friendly reminder that shit happens and to be careful. All free to you at my expense ;O) I am just so tired and am being pulled in to many directions. New job, house hunting, new environment..etc. Second, bought a house :O) lost over 175k on that deal. Not really. Hopefully will pay off later! Just got in today and way behind on work. GOOD LUCK ALL! Cheers Dr. B. is NOT Dr. Bob
