Good morning V et al The evils of procrastination! I set my sights to buy some ELON in the am, but was contemplating which stock to sell. During this contemplative stage, I watched ELON shoot up from 94 to 113. Missed the boat! I put a sucker bet in and placed an order for the day at 100, which to my suprise kicked in. Problem was that I was doing a margin call dance with schwab (which has been going on for the paat 2 weeks, a new record of sorts), I didn't think that they would appreciate another purchase of 1000 shares of elon at 100 with a margin call at the front dorr step. I punched out in the afternoon at 104, and now looking to get back in below 100. Thanks to all for sharing of your knowledge/insight. David
