as opposed to someone who bought at $40 a couple days ago and sold at a loss in the low $30s today

That is not day trading, it is position trading.

A good daytrader with a little discipline would have bought ATHM at its resistance of $38 3/4 and then sold it at $38 1/2 when the resistance failed to hold. He would have then gone short at 38-38 1/4 and ridden it down to around 34 or 35 when the momentum slowed. etc.

I'm definitely coming to the conclusion that you either watch the stock each and every instant the market is open or you just close your eyes and wait for 2002. This is most true for a stock like ATHM that moves on rumor and emotional turbulence.

"And they say day trading is dangerous and risky"
Well I wasn't completely serious but it is very disappointing to see ATHM fall.I've made a few bucks
lately daytrading Cisco but that doesn't offset the ATHM slide. Still long ATHM.

According to Ahhaha's theory, if there is still someone expressing optimistic views on this stock, it has further downside. So you guys are so optimistic, including me, this stock will see 20 soon.

Make yourself a bet, put equal amounts of money in ATHM and LU for three years. You will be a head with LU. Most only buy a stock like this to get in on the ground floor of something new and hope it will be another Microsoft. I wouldn't put one dollar in this type of stock if I didn't think I would get back ten.
