fwiw, jumped back into DIGL early today. MASH was covering some large blocks and wouldn't let it get off of 49 5/8. Sooner or later he'd be done.. and then off it went. That is one benefit of checking more often. Of course that also leads to more emotions entering in the trades (I chipped out of BVSN three times today before holding.. I am so embarrassed.) Will swing the shares I have now on the 5/8 method.

what a crazy market.

NTAP today was unreal.
