ST-Trading Well, I let my emotions get the better of me and bailed early on my shorts this morning. The early AM market rise and abrupt Anthrax reversal caught me flat-footed questioning my short-term conviction. I should have stepped back and reflected on why I initiated the plays in the first place, but instead opted to shoot first and ask questions later. My second recent rookie mistake. The other one was when I let my break-even stop-loss hit on a re-test of $27, thus giving up a decent purchase of some long-term AMAT shares. On the bright side, while I did leave plenty on the table, I managed to book a respectable 6% short-term gain on significant positions. I remain partial to the dark-side here and live to trade again.
