For those of you who traded RIM today and think you had a rough day here's a story that should make you feel a little better.

A coworker of my husband's decided that yesterday was a good time to load up on RIM ... so he did ... at about 130.00. Of course he didn't use a stop loss. OUCH!

Funny how most of us (including me) get a little freaked by shorting, I always cover way too early too. The ironic thing is that it takes bullish sentiment AND volume to move a stock up but a stock can fall simply on its own weight. I guess its the idea of "unlimited losses" that spooks us all (buy stops work for me). My shorts are the only trades that have consistently worked for these last 2 weeks.
