Nope, I missed it. As I said earlier in the week, I didn't think we could wait til earnings before something had to give. I figured the move yesterday had to go to 92. I held my trading shares overnight and sweated out this mornings dip, then put a stop at 91 when the move started. I thought for sure it was going to 100 before turning around. Well, I went off to do something, and by the time I got back I was stopped out. I wanted to buy back in at 89 late in the day, but Schwab went down at 4:45!! So I made money on the move (bought at 76), but now I'm left without the shares. We'll see what Tues brings. Best of luck to you.

Sector, The link does not work since it is for a PM. Good call but I rather do what I am doing right now. I bought a lot under 10 and have enjoyed the ride. Here is my typical week day, Go to work, Come home, Check MRVC, Realize I made much much more by MRVC than at work, Smile, Check the quote another 10 times, Smile another 10 times, Catch up on all the new posts, news, links, readings, Get a beer, Smile, Go to bed, Repeat every thing in the morning! Weekends I stay away from the computer. :) Now I gotta get my Samuel Adam's! Mani

Sector, my prediction was shot by new options stikes being issued! Sheesh! Who decides when to issue new strike prices? My theory of overrunning strikes devistated on the whim of some dude on the CBOE. Shamed on the boards, in front of all... If only 90 was the max strike, we woulda spiked. I just know we woulda! Web

I'm sure you've probably thought of this but next time you might want to put the sell order when you have that kind of feeling rather than wait. Unfortunately I'm speaking from experience BUT I've done well by changing my style as a result. On the other hand you might be extremely happy (in the very near future) you didn't let those shares go. Tom
