(i think) that woman was profiled in an earlier usa today story...approximately the end of june. in it, the 'daytrader' told how she had got companies like BOUT and a whole bunch of 2nd tiers on (ibelieve) margin, and wound up holding them from 40 -> 20. the article had ALL the earmarks of a compulsive who couldn't cut losses.

the part about blaming all-tech; i'd be willing to wager dollars to donuts that there was 'too large a stake' held overnight. isn't that the way they do that?

and don't all daytrading books say never carry home a loser? - bob
