"It's not you. It's me."
From the "what else can go wrong now?" department:
First, in a fit of nervous tension and elevated stupidity, I bailed out in the middle of the runup at 40 1/8.
Next, in an irate attempt to rejoin the party in progress as a latecomer, I lept to the alter at 40 7/8. This morning I corrected that error with a sell at 41.
Wanting an entry at 40.5, I posted an order this morning. Around 11, I saw the potential for a greater dip, possibly to 40 1/4, so I went through the simple quick process of canceling my order at Datek and getting ready to execute a market order with the verification page cocked and ready. Upon completing this task, I returned to the cascading ticker to see that AAPL had dipped to 40 1/4 while my bid was off the table and was already back to where it had started. No price loss. Just opportunity lost. Fearing that 40 1/2 was going to be my best shot, I reentered my bid at 40 1/5 and went off line for 10 minutes. When I returned, I found that the other strategy was correct. 40 1/2 was too high a bid. The stock was headed toward 40.
No wuzzers mate. MWSF starts Monday. By Wednesday it will be just another faded memory in the dust of faded frustrations of everyday market activity.
