I remember a bloke on these boards a few years back. He was in grad school at the time, and sank all his college funds in a dsl stock called wstl. As the stock declined from 30 to 20, he bot even more, margining to the max. After all, dsl was the wave of the future. And he was right. Problem was, he was also early. Way early.

Within a week, the stock was at 10 and we never heard from the poor guy again.

True story.

Patsy, where do you put potential retracement risk back to? Thoughts on shorting (a portion) against the box for a trade here?
