Wow. I had that on Friday at 166 for my last trade and took a loss at the close to get flat for the weekend. If that isn't a great example of what can happen to you when you take positions home . . . It was only 300 shares but if it gaps down say 8-10 tomorrow, that's $2,400 - $3,000 down the drain for nothing. Really points up the necessity of taking the losses while they're small.
