My latest stock transaction was to sell about 5 stocks within 2 or 3 minutes of the very bottom after 9/11. I had always heard that novice investors always sell at the bottom and I proved it. If you look at a chart of the S&P 500 you will see a sharp V bottom several weeks after the attack. That was my signal to the street to start buying. I haven't bought or sold since and I only check the stocks I have left about once every two weeks now instead of every day. It will take me a while to get over my poorly timed sells. Maybe I need some darts.
