Nope. Your comments only reaffirmed where I was instinctively headed.

My error was to withdraw completely from NTOP, thinking it was going to go back down so I could buy back in. I pretty much knew PKTR was going to do well on Friday so I loaded it. Unfortunately, its movement was slow out of the gate and it didn't perform well until near Friday's close.

My other mistake was miscalculating the amount of time I was going to have yesterday to monitor the market.

But so what? Now I've got a great position staked in PKTR, which is not a bad parking place during what seems as a minor IPO-trading week. The fact all morning PKTR has been trading over a buck is indicative it'll climb higher once the market has settled from the feds. I have a feeling, oeverall, the market will have a powerful close.

All in all, some of what we do is based on fact; but another great part of it is instinct. I hold the reflexes of a shortstop, however can I translate this into trading at the right time? Doubtful, but I'll try anyway--LOL!
