This is from the high flying days of BVSN. And I nominate myself for the title of stock moron. I realised I had to sell BVSN. All of it. I had to rrrruuuunnnn...before it took me down. I had about 2000 shares....so i entered the sell order with a limit price which was the existing bid on my schwab screen. And I closed my schwab window and left the pc alone....I saw CNBC and realised the price had stayed for a while,,,,and i was sure my shares would have been sold.... The next few days washed the stocks down....and i thought to myself...gee...aint i smart....? Bolstered by the successful divestment strategy, I decided to show PHCM the door too...so i waited for another up day and logged into my pc...and entered my order to sell all the PHCM shares I had. Just for info, i went to check my positions, to see if i could trim anything else back. Imagine my horror when i saw 1980 BVSN shares sitting pat in my account. By mistake I had entered the order to sell 20 shares instead of 2000 shares. Luckily, it was an up day for all inets and i could get out of my BVSN at the same price as i had previously wanted to....but i shudder to think what COULD have happened....I may have been still holding those shares...and wouldn't even know it !!! <smile>
