Diamond. Who's the Don you referred to as still reading these boards? Sorry for my ignorance. You're right, he can't do anything now. A trade is a trade and it's gone sour. No matter where it goes from here it will always be a lost opportunity. I'm still in it so I'm still hoping. The really instructive thing is to look at the link I gave Surfer a few posts back. I really wish I had known this before. Apparently, the last trade wasn't that great either. I just heard it over the radio and it sounded amazing. Wow, a 40% or so return in about a month! This guy's a genius. Then, when someone lays out the actual timing/dates/prices it looks very risky for such a small gain. I was stupid I admit. I got into this mess and I'm still just sitting it out. I think his LT calls have been good but the short terms one and some of the individual stock ones haven't. I think it would be great to have an area like the fool.com where the actual trade date/prices/$'s spent were posted for everyone to read. Then we could really see the reality of the situation and not a glossed over version that you get on the radio. The Fools certainly have guts and seem to live up to their preachings. If I had seen the previous trade clearly, I would have sat back and watched this one for awhile. I'm going to really consider the sell side of this trade for a good long time before just jumping in -OR- not wait for the signal and lose the upside (that happened on the last trade). Live, learn and hopefully prosper. It's been a great education and I've met some really great people in the last few days!
