Nicely done Keith. I haven't been in for some time (for me at least). When things were rocketing, I made a play to shoot the moon for the $800s as well as a closer to the money call play. They both went south pretty quickly and I got out as quickly as I got in. The best play was on the day that the stock hit $507 .... and raced to $590 shortly thereafter (couple weeks). That was a fun one but when $590 couldn't be held, I had to eject and take the gains. THat was nearly 100 points ago.

So ... long story short on attracting attention. It's got mine ... that's for sure. I'm targeting Friday for my entry and expecting some wild swings up until that date as the Jan. options expire. They could drop this thing 20-30 points intraday from here easily with a volume shake. My spider sense tells me max pain may be in play.

My next entry is going to be like shaving with a butter knife .... messy and with a fair amount of optimism. Going to make it a positional play though to allow for some play either way.

I'm pretty happy about dumping all of my shares at $667 and re-establishing a new average cost around $510.
I think you should be. In a worst case scenario, at least you've missed $157 of the ride down.

I'm still long at whatever it was. 393-something? 493?
