Shoot, one time I got so excited when I first started trading pennies, I bought and bought and bought until I had about 40-50 of them. I missed profits,forgot about a couple,lost on more than worth mentioning. Now I'm a little more reasonable. No more than 15-20 at one time.<VBG> DD

Blitz, Cool thread. Well, here's mine. I bought SEXI at .14 and sold at .78. Made 40,000 and thought I was King of the Hill. Got bummed out when it started to run (guess they knew I was out), so I brooded and brooded and bought way too high and when it ran to 4.00 and then went down - what did I do? I averaged down and kept on averaging down. I ended up losing 80,000 when they halted it. Did the OVIS thing and lost there too after being UP. Screwed up my trading for over a year and a half. Nothing like going over all your bad trades while preparing your taxes to make you vomit. I am much, much better now. Live and learn. I now place targets and place sell orders when I am close to them. You can always change them. Discipline is the key. A profit is a profit no matter what it is. Best of luck with your thread..........Norms
