Sam, Yeah, as you correctly pointed out, I made multiple mistakes yesterday. I had my finger on the trigger ready to bail - quickly up a few bucks after initiating my play. She looked relatively weak early and I got greedy thinking there was more downside. I then should have bailed when the trade went against me, but I decided to fight the trend "knowing I'd be proven right." Wrong. My primary focus was on the general market yesterday. I simply believed the rally would fail and we'd move lower. I basically disregarded most everything else. It was a rookie move and had to pay the piper as a result. Hey, that's OK - I'm havin' a respectable year thus far. Ya can't win 'em all. I'm not going to beat myself up about it, however I will take some time here to regroup for the next play. FWIW, my bias remains to the dark side. AdvocateDevil
