NCT.....

Hand over the idiot hat. I just manage to make the two biggest mistakes that a day trader can make....

Never try and catch a falling knife
Never go against a trend

I thought I would be smart and try and catch the bottom on NCT by watching the chart super close and buying at every major support level. I was so sure the stock would bounce. I just got stopped out at $25 on NCT for the 5th stop out at a loss. I was using tight stops just below the support levels but my total loss at this point on all these stops is almost $1700. That is not a loss I like to take on any day. I have been doing so well lately I forgot how much it sucks to be wrong on a stock. I printed out the 5 day chart of NCT and put it on my wall in front on me. It will act as a good reminder.

I am now doing the smart thing and waiting until there is serious upward momentum on this stock before I plan on buying again.

Best Regards
KEITH
