<<If you are a day trader, and you see that a stock you own has shot up nearly 3 points on news at open, then you watch it, and let's be honest. >> Yes, let's do be honest. If you WATCHED it AFTER it spiked on open, there was no time for a GTC order and it never again went to that level. There were only a few seconds to react and place a trade - and if it wasn't a GTC or limit order, you would have gotten the bid price on your sell. Just how exactly did you do that? quote.com <<Were you watching ASND on Friday after the upgrade and thinking about selling? >> Actually I did - 2K at $44 13/16, on a GTC order. I missed on ANN. The high of the day was 21. As a day trader, I essentially lost 1/4 on a bad exit, but my execution system was the Web, as opposed to my normal execution system, Cybertrader.>> Give me a break! Bad exit indeed. More like a fantasy exit.

I thought you were going to quit bothering us. There is no way in he*! that you picked the absolute lows in all the stocks you mentioned unless perhaps there are two or three others which you "scalped" and which kept going down, let's say maybe a disk drive maker or an SDTI? To believe you picked four or five stocks and bought them all at the lows is to suggest we would buy the Brooklyn Bridge from you. I too like you think ASND will be lower before it is higher - it just seems to me your ego is bigger than whatever state you live in. Give us a break and leave us alone. Good riddance!
