I got stopped out of both SYMC and VSIO today after they gapped open. Both had dropped 1/2 to 1 pt within just a few minutes of me buying in. Yamner suggested putting in the buy at market 10-15 minutes after the open. I know this has been discussed here before but I think I am going to try that for a few days. The MM's are just playing havoc with opening trades! Anybody else have any bright ideas? For Wednesday Long BVSN , DBD , STE (nobody likes this chart? up 2-3x avg daily vol) Short JKHY Rob
