Trade Alert - decided to let the limit order to sell trade ride and she rode me right out of IPII today at ~ $21.58. I could have canceled the order and put a stop in, and I did struggle with the decision, but this was more than a 27% gain in less than two weeks so I decided to let my original plan play its course, i.e., tried to take the emotion out of the trade.

Status Update on IPII trade
premarket is up on this ~ $18.80 and having trade in the 19's - my thinking is to let's see if this can run to the $21 area within the next week since - $21.98 is the 50 day moving average - if it crosses $20, put in a stop.

New Trade Alert and TSCM Follow-up
New trade for IP.II today - purchased ~ 16.80. This one was id by my proprietary model, which also id Ckcm two days ago, but I did not act b/c I got too greedy and was hoping for a move to the $16s. I acted quickly on IP.II after she broke $17 for several reasons. First, there has been a lot of blood recently. Second, looooow float. Third, hurricanes or no hurricanes, having spent a significant amoutn of time in Fla, there is no doubt that they have all the business they can handle. Fourth, IBD wrote up the stock on August 10th,
