Letz just say that was an extremely painful day !!!!

I'm now long RIM, not probably long. Two biggest mistakes
which the more experienced traders PREACH, AND I may add
we should listen, don't trade without stops, never
underestimate momentum {your own emotion tries to logically
justify your trade, as Ward warned me again this AM}

I use mental stops all the time religiously, I have no problem
hitting the market sell button when my mental stops are hit,
I have become very disciplined up to this day, for some reason
I never established that threshhold when I entered this short
and as the trade turned against me I continued to get emotional
about it.

Moral of the story, heed the advice of the wise and seasoned
traders and so far 2 out 2 shorts that I have tried have lost
me money, so ! go long when I go short :)

Best regards

WB
