It's not stupidity. It's a lesson. Happens to the best.

Nothing to feel stupid about! I doubt there's a trader here who hasn't taken a mean hit like that on a stock they got caught overnight with bad news AH or in the morning premarket...it is a miserable feeling to say the least though as I've taken several hits in excess of that amount over the years. My worst was an 18,000 loss on CTXS from a buy 5 minutes before the close on a Friday and selling after a warning about 15 minutes into trading on Monday. So I only held it about 20 minutes of market time and lost 18K!! Talk about feeling HORRIBLE!! Anyway, you didn't do anything wrong...nothing dumb about it, just a case of bad luck and there's been a lot of that suffered by the masses lately. It took me awhile to get over my biggest losses but it will happen....best to you! tuna
