Crap! I should have held ands overnight and
I'd have had my two bit trade for the day/night.
Still, after commissions even $200 profit hardly
seems worth the trouble, certainly when it is a
coin flip whether something finally bounces or
declines another dime each day.

That said, Anadys had slipped 25% over the past five
trading sessions--so it seemed due for a wiggle up.

I'm trying to imagine watching hundreds of stocks
(instead of just a few) and doing this for hours
instead of just a few minutes a day. Not sure I
really care for it, and I certainly don't have a
knack for it yet. I am thinking that my three
short ideas might work out okay--if I held them
for several months. But would I do that in the
real world? Would I really be comfortable holding
shares short for long periods of time, not sure
that I would want to do that.
