"Tears of the day"
I used to have 150,000 shares of MINE at a
cost of eight cents. Golden Eagle dragged it's
heels, a geologic report was supposed to be out
by May 1st...it never came, and I averaged out
at 14 cents.
Well the report finally came out, and having
slept in a bit today I was not able to get
shares--it could have been etrade's fault,
I had an order for 100,000 in there when the
offer price was 19 cents...but it never executed.
Anway, I finally got a few shares, but I think
it was etrade giving me some of theirs, the
fellow had to "go to the floor" to see what
was going on with my order--it took quite awhile.
Anyway, don't even try to chase this one if you
have delayed quotes like me, and don't expect to
get fast executions on a BB stock when you're only
paying $15 a trade. Lesson learned, if you ain't
a big fish, don't try to swim with the sharks.
(not that it cost me anything, it's just the
disappointment of not being able to get a trade
executed in a timely manner).
tears for the day,
oh, by the way, sleeping in has cost me about $20,000
so far this year--not couning MINE if being up at the
open would have helped get an order in! |
