El: Its not easy - full of "if only" and adrenalin. I only do it if I am feeling confident. I didn't feel confident about CPQ movements between July and December, when I was building the position, that's why I didn't trade then. However, this powerful surge thats been going on, does give opportunities for 2-3 points pull-backs if you are nimble and willing to lose a few. For example, I think I should have lowered my selling order from $35 1/8 to $34 1/2 today. But I didn't. Oh well, nothing lost if it drifts down a couple of points before Christmas and maybe we'll get another intraday shot at $35+ tomorrow. Best thing to do is ask Harvey.
