<<I have a similar problem: when I sell, the stock skyrockets, e.g. I sold CPQ a couple of days ago. I believe I mentioned selling ONSL at 17 just before the 108 run.>> I thought that only happens to me but now I know it is not. Then why is it happen to all of us? The reasons are 1) We buy when the stock has gone up (perhaps at the peak already). 2) We sell when the stock dropped and we couldn't take it anymore before the MARGIN CALL. 3) We only remember the transactions that we sell and the stock went up and forget the transactions that we sell and the stock stayed flat or went down.
