PHCM..I bought it at the ask which was about 1/2 point higher than the bid, but the point is buying a brand new high flyer was a nice experience. I hadn't gotten into HLTH and BRCD when I saw the chance before like some of you others did. I have watched PHCM for a few days and liked the way it closed on Friday. Next time I'll be braver still. This is all as a result of losing CPTH.. I'm getting a little bolder with the newer IPO's but still only holding the best overnight like DIR, WITC but not ones like BRCD, and CPTH. MRBA is like in the middle up about 9% but not as scary as CPTH or PHCM. PHCM was an experiment that turned out okay. RIMM was an experiment on some of the newer and smaller issues, so I'm trying to 'rev up' some of my strategies to include some of these stocks, but at the same time remembering the responsibility not to get traders stuck. Its a balance, you trade but you are aware of the risks of holding too long to extremely volatile issues. It was more important to see how quickly I can slide into and out of PHCM and sort of prepare the path for the next traders. I'm used to trading patterns of stocks like GNET, AOL and VRIO and I know pretty much how easy it is to enter and exit, but not MRBA, PHCM etc.
