MYTN: Got greedy on that one and lost a great opportunity. I didn't change my SS order @ 8 3/4 and it never got filled. Sometimes a market order is appropriate.

No "nice going" for me. I was greedy too, and didn't change my limit order. I didn't get a fill. And I tried and tried several times to short later but Datek never cooperated. Unfortunately I'm not as lucky as Mr. knows_picker. Congrats to him for getting his fill. I have had pretty good luck with limit orders, but yep, this was a time when a market order woulda been the way to go. Down another 10% today. That one is headed for China. Is it bad to pray for a pop? I'd love to see it at 8 again, but I'm afraid those days have gone bye bye forever. Who else besides Deeber and knows_picker are short on MYTN? You guys deserve the congrats. I've read the Bloomberg article a couple times on it and I don't think anyone on this board could have created a more perfect short pick if they'd have tried. It reads like a 'believe it or not'. Still short STMP and reshorted DSLN on a rebound a couple days ago. I'm just still learning.
