ST trading:

I have a limit sell order at 40. If it clears, I will buy back, beginning at 35, and equal-$ lots every 2.5 points down from there. Since I'm sitting on 10% cash now, and am willing to use margin, I could and would buy AMAT all the way back down to 27, if that happens (small likelyhood). That would essentially double my current position. AMAT is currently 13% of my portfolio, av. cost 30.

I won't be shorting AMAT at 40, even though I think that'll be strong resistance, as I think there is a good chance we are early in a partial re-inflation of the Bubble, and I am not going to stand in front of a stampeding herd of hot momo money.

AD, I give you and Cary high marks for honestly. When your plays don't work out, you admit it and move on. No excuses, no crystal ball. That's more than I can say for some other's we've been discussing here.
