Frederick.. I had plenty of help. Between E-trade IPO's, the aftermarket IPO thread, and lately this thread.. The thing that gets me is the amount of $$ I lost or lost opportunity from certain situations.. I was studying my past trades to find the mistakes and there are plenty. Funny how I seem to be numb to a large gain but fret all night about being down $50 on a position. I never think the cushion is there. I always feel like I have to protect even the smallest gains. Makes one lose a lot of $$. examples you ask?? there are plenty: sold EGAN at 30, ICGE at 23(ouch), IIJI at 25, ARBA at 65. There are many more. As far as I am concerned, I am a horrible trader. But, it doesn't stop me from trying. I mostly feel really lucky to have stumbled on to SI. Thanks for the support. M
