Alien, At least you're honest about your trades, unlike a lot of other people on SI. Still interested in what you have to say. BTW, PWCC will come back. FLAS is undergoing the usual post-debut Internet IPO sell-off. Eventually it'll reach the valuations of ELNK, MSPG, and so on.

Alien As for your 50% gains turning into 50% losses, I am convinced, from reading all your posts for the past couple of years, that you are fully capable of turning those losses back into gains. I also believe that each of us would rarely lose on trades if we stuck to our intellectual approaches to trading. Unfortunately, all of us sometimes get emotional and that is what screws us up. As hard as it is to do, when I screw up, I analyze what I did wrong but, otherwise, I look forward instead of backward. If I lose confidence, I paper trade for a week or two without doing any real trading. Also, I paper trade stocks even when I am trading other stocks. I don't know if any of this helps or not, but am confident that you'll recover from this. At any rate, keep posting. Your thoughts are valuable to all of us. Tom

AT, last year I found myself TLAB'ed and CIEN'ed simultaneously, and also turned a nice gain into a pretty loss. I clawed my way back, but it was real depressing for a while. As Thomas wrote, you've got the smarts and the insights, and you've proven time and again that you're an intelligent trader. Tom
