I missed OMGA.

The trades that are most painful are the ones that eventually would have worked for me, if I had only held on a while longer, such as when I covered half of my short positions in AVNT and BFT for losses, and held the second half until they turned around for gains.

I shudder to think of similar cases with my long positions: I sold EGRP for a tiny gain after a week, before it went up multiple times. I made a good gain in CIEN, but still missed a double afterwards. But I may be getting smarter, and will try to be more patient with my latest investments.
