VXNT / not the first time this has happened to me, but maybe the most extreme with the stock hitting $8.02 after hours.
Up 96.24% for the day, and now up 25% after hours.

Sold 100 of 500 for my niece, 300 of 1000 for both my sister and her husband. 500 of 2000 for the girl that I
started investing for in April last year.

Was looking back, so thought I'd keep this, but not sure I learn anything other than it can be really hard,
even if you are going to be right, to wait for the big money to come back. Last big day was 5/20 15 million
share day until yesterdays 19 million.

How much room is enough or too much?

05/08/2020 10:18:34 Bought 500 VXRT @ 2.5398 -1,269.90 Should have started smaller with 300

05/08/2020 10:46:48 Bought 500 VXRT @ 2.52 -1,260.00 Shouldn't have added until it was green
Heck I barely even took a breath.

05/12/2020 09:59:29 Bought 500 VXRT @ 3.045 -1,522.50 Should have doubled the position to 600 shares

Might have, but didn't add after new high on 5/20. Should have been 800, to no more than 1000 shares.

06/17/2020 13:49:19 Sold 1500 VXRT @ 2.3664 3,549.34

$4052.40 -$3549.34 = -$513.06

I let the shorts talk me out of a trading position, when I should have sold something from the other side of the ledger.
