Funny true story....

I have been playing almost exclusively TSE stocks for the last long while..... soooooo.... at about 3:40 (while I am playing backgammon online and dividing my attention between that and watching stocks), I decide that the action on IPZ is good enough to take the plunge for an overnight hold.

I am thinking that I only have 20 minutes to get the order done!!!!!!! The good ol' TSE closes up shop at 4:00, so I throw in my order and grab some shares at $1.33... Within 10 minutes I realize my "mistake", and promptly watch IPZ climb up another 30+ cents before it's 4:30 close!!

The real kicker about my mental screw-up.... I would have probably waited until 4:20 to buy if I had remembered that IPZ didn't stop trading until 4:30... and I would have paid about .30 more!!!

The moral of the story is to always be sure that you are distracted when you are daytrading... *grin*.... it pays off.... errrrr... or something like that....
