Please help me anyone. I watched real-time quotes this morning on PCCC. It was up 16 and 18 points. I placed a buy order 15 minutes before opening. I bought 1000 shares. It was executed at 38.5. Five minutes later the stock was down 10 points. I am in a heap of mess. I have never lost money on anything like this scale. I started with $3000 and had built it up to $13,000. Now, I am in the hole big time. I almost panicked today and sold it, but I cannot pay off that type of loss. Please tell me what happened to the stock. Why did it drop like a rock at the open. And more important, do you think it will make back any of this drop from 38.5 soon? Any advice or help is greatly appreciated. I am in shock and got physically sick from this. I don't know what to do. Some great Christmas holiday this will be. I can't wait on the margin call.
