a bigger fool than me, i think not.
i bought in at average of 39.
last few days, coms been gapping up and then fading.
so, what do i do?
i sell at 32.5 this am(for a 6.5k loss), hoping to catch it again on its way down.
what happens?
coms breaks out and reaches 34.75 at its peak.
instead of reducing my loss to 4.25k, i am instead holding my poppet in my hands.
did the same with amat, though i made 2k there.

well, at least i have enough cash to buy if the persian gulf explodes and the market tanks again.

hope sodom (sic) sticks it to bill.

I hope not! Timing it so that you buy at the lowest price is basically impossible! I bought some today for my brother in law at 325/8. Be happy! Last time I bought I did at around 36.
