Ah finaly I got 30 sec of quiet time. Have I done any trading lately ? No , but I have had a few bids placed . The problem is I keep moving them around , for example TEK.B I had ample opertunity to pick it up today under 11 bucks but I did not bother to place a bid. I had a number 20 cents lower that I was prepared to pay for it and look for a swing trade. I do not think it has bottomed and want to avoid bag holding it. The problem with this approach is I have missed a nice 25 % run and several 2 day runs. The stock is trending down but there is enough upward swings to bail at a profit. The days that I have a bid in the stock goes up. The days I nap it goes down. I have lots of time to get on board but i am not too energetic about doing so. Had a great chance at COR today but I wanted a NO BRAINER on it as well. 3.20 and I would have acted . 3.50 was on the ask- (Which I think is safe enough that the opertunity for profit is prettysafe at least this week ) but I left it there. ELD - boy was I napping .I am in but did not have a sell placed on mondays bounce.Those tons of gold that where sold into the market on monday kinda squished the price and I new they where comming.. But instead of placing a sell on Sunday I wandered off to read a book. I did take my patient half out for dindins....it tasted pretty bland. And I climbed a peak above the fog on Sunday and got to watch a valve open on a dam and the resulting water show was pretty cool.Took a few kids who got a kick out of dancing in the alpine. So my trading life is much like a few others I guess... best word I have for it is subdued or in basic ralfph. I is feeling atad mooshed. take care all you inteligent ones ralfph lots of red words in this post...
