Poet: I can relate to the bad day

One of those days I should have stayed in bed :)

Couldn't though because I held BAMM overnight.
Sold half position in pre market trading as the expected gap
did not materialize. Should have sold all but thought there might
be a bit of a pop at the open.

You know what they say "if you start to hope - it's time to sell"
Remembered that only now!

Then got in fairly early on BLDPF runup.
Tripled my position as it ran. Bad decision on the last buy.
Massive selloff began seconds later.

Had problems with MBTrading and my cable modem connection.
Of course that happened at a crucial time.
Luckily I have a backup dialup ISP so I could get up and running again.

Oh well one of those days.

Hope you have a better day tomorrow.

I'll sacrifice a chicken for both of us tonite to appease the
market gods ;)

Good Trading
MZ

I traded something today and made $187. I can't even remember the symbol. <g> But generally my day wasn't very good. Down on WEBT and NAVR, which actually had some action for a while.

WCOM was a nice surprise. I am up 19 points. I am kicking myself for selling GE and AOL. Just took the money and ran on those. Can't wait for the DOW to close at 10,000. I plan to frame the headline for my home office.
