"Tears of the day" I used to have 150,000 shares of MINE at a cost of eight cents. Golden Eagle dragged it's heels, a geologic report was supposed to be out by May 1st...it never came, and I averaged out at 14 cents. Well the report finally came out, and having slept in a bit today I was not able to get shares--it could have been etrade's fault, I had an order for 100,000 in there when the offer price was 19 cents...but it never executed. Anway, I finally got a few shares, but I think it was etrade giving me some of theirs, the fellow had to "go to the floor" to see what was going on with my order--it took quite awhile. Anyway, don't even try to chase this one if you have delayed quotes like me, and don't expect to get fast executions on a BB stock when you're only paying $15 a trade. Lesson learned, if you ain't a big fish, don't try to swim with the sharks. (not that it cost me anything, it's just the disappointment of not being able to get a trade executed in a timely manner). tears for the day, oh, by the way, sleeping in has cost me about $20,000 so far this year--not couning MINE if being up at the open would have helped get an order in!
