Im going to avoid HBOC and chalk it up as a learning experience. Its funny because im starting to notice a real trend that takes place before a big drop, downgrades, or a merger that big money wants to fail for whatever vested interest. CIEN and TLAB - perfect example. I saw it on the tape, and ignored it and got my ass handed to me. Same thing with HBOC, I made a quick buck on the bounce on Friday, and than got caught in a position around noon time. I saw them keeping it down, but still ignored what I saw before and stayed in over night. These are the things I need to learn. Its very difficult to admitt you made a mistake and move on, no matter how many times you get thrown for a loss.. Im going to stay low key tomorrow but XCIT, LCOS, CMGI, DELL and COST can give me good trading ops. during the day. I managed to pull 2 nice trades off in the last 15 minutes but ironicly enough, HBOC was one of the 'rare instances' that I purchased more than I should have.
