<OT> The glory (and bane!) of being a daytrader, when I trade, I very rarely hold overnight positions (exception is when I have very good reasons to hold overnight) - I was out of PFE with a 9/16 point hit (still, on 5K shares, with commissions etc., almost $3000 loss). On the other hand, I own a shitload of PFE in my long term portfolio, but my base cost there is about $16 a share (I've held it since 92, and added in options and trading profits). Long term, I view this sell-off as a buying opportunity, and I'll be trading it soon again (hopefully more successfully - before today's boneheaded move, I did trades of buy at 100 5/8 - 102 area, sold at variously, but all above 115). Win some, and lose some. Morgan BTW, loss on QCOM today - $4,700.
