My 'broker' only charges me $10 to change my mind, lunch money on a couple hundred shares, and a cheap lunch at that. If I thought it was going to 20 I'd sell all for $10 and wait for $20.

The best way to give money to brokers and MM is using a stop loss. Everytime I have tried that the stock drops briefly to the logical limit, there goes my stock, and up she goes to where she was. I don't have a broker anymore, just a modem and a mouse, and therefore manual stop lose tools, my fingers.

I am pretty excited about this stock, missed the jump yesterday, but that was how it came to my attention, then WACKO, it sure looked good at forty, but then so did I, er do I. I don't think this one will drop, I'm confident enough to go out tomorrow for lunch.

If you like buying opportunities take a look at CRUS. It's back on sale at 12+; or SYSF a wonderful buying opportunity at 6+ way way down from its highs. How do you tell the difference between buying opportunity and final markdown or clearance sale?

Just a word of caution about averaging down. This stock wasn't trading on fundamentals. It was trading on very high expectations of growth. If we see 30, you'll have to be thinking pretty long-term to buy in. Dips in the past have never been this big and have never been linked to the earnings performance we're seeing. Personally, I think that the bottom couldn't be more than a couple of points away, but you never know.
