Hey Bruce! Thanks re: QCOM call.. I traded in and out a few times, and finally caught 10 points when it ran to 70.. I had no idea it would try 80 and missed that as usual :) I only have one position, and thats probably going to take a bath at the open tomorrow if the futures are any indication.. I had a bad feeling, so I went all cash except for ANTC I picked up from the Rande thread.. Figured the downside was limited.. I couldnt hold MWAV.. to make a profit like that in under 10 minutes, after the piss poor luck ive been having.. forget it- I took it. Ill probably be going in and out of MWAV like a jerk as it breaks 25, 30.. split.. Im still have trouble with my emotions when the market whipsaws like this so im cutting down alot and spending time away from the 'puter.. When I lose my temper, its insane.. Ill lose months of profit just to try and 'beat' a stock.. When doing my taxes I always look back at those periods and get sick so now I just walk away.. or try :) Im still watching DTEC.. I really like this alot but so far have been unable to get in and feel comfortable.. Maybe tomorrow? but if it breaks down I have no idea how low it should go..
