Thanks everyone. I hesitated to post the question at all because I know it sounded petulant and if someone else had posted it, I would have landed all over them <G>. I'm merciless in judging my own trading though. Probably not a good thing. I just wish there was a way to game these uncharted waters as it were. Another way to look at it, I suppose, is that the guy who jumped on JNIC and paid 114 for it is down now in the order of over twenty points if he still has it at all (and I wouldn't bet too much that he doesn't). Cormac, on these momos that I do not know personally, I generally trade about 500-600 if they're 50 or less, and 300 if they're say 75 or above. 200 and up, I trade 200 shares. It's a psychological thing I guess, but losing money is much more painful to me than making it is pleasurable, so I am maniacal about taking profit quickly. I guess that mindset is not conducive to riding things into the wild blue yonder.
