ACK..it hit 26.00....lower than I thought it would go. Still looking at the 30 level, but now it is not playing out as I thought it might so I wonder.....

EDIT - Should bounce here, 200 period support on the one minute bars and 50 period on the 5 minute bars....and we are 7 bars into the move on the red/blue thingy...

Bailed out of the long trade at 24 for a 3+ point loss

Nice trade for you

>>Definitely a sign that you are too prosperous.

No more a sign that I feel left out seeing these stocks go up several fold for no rhyme or reason -- other than the greater fool theory being in play. So I decided to take part hoping that there'd be another fool to buy my shares before the whole house of cards collapsed. But it was a momentary aberration, thank goodness.

Talking about ISP stocks -- what is amusing though, is that I sold some naked calls on ELNK and in October and when it took out 35, I knew that it was headed higher and so I decided to buy the stock to in effect make it a covered position. Well, I inadvertently bought 100 shares more than my short position in the calls at -- bought em at 37 and it is now at almost 50 -- so I am part of the internut craze without meaning to be. It should at least pay for OJ's baklava!!
