Maxer,
Why did you sell today? Do you think CPQ's recent run has expired? Was it based on a TA call?
Regards,

Sentiment in the market is so easily manipulated. Yesterday everyone was drunk with enthusiasm over cpq. I posted several times that I expected the price to retreat as it did during the last half hour. Some press comes out today, puts negative spin on things and now we're closing in on 30-32 by Friday. The July 32.5's that I wrote are safe for sure. I will add to my position on Friday and Monday and be ready for the next leg up.

I felt the same way and nearly did just that. My reasons were a. I needed money for a new car, b. I've waited this long to see this happen? c. I was emotional (pi$$ed off!)d. too much initially invested (wanted to shift to a lower amount)
For me, c. cancelled out the others as valid reasons. I can't get out without losing almost as much as I need to get for the car! CATCH 22 for now. I'd like to get re-arranged by dreaded October.
