sometimes ya just can't win.

I read the news on HMAR and I read the news on DCTM

and picked the wrong one ... based on my news readings

HMAR scared me, cause I was afraid they were closing up shop.

DCTM ... in the 50's 3 months ago, at 11.75 seemed a real bargain.

Am glad you did not enter DCTM Tom ... cause I sure did not enter anywhere near the bottom.

Tom
you are right on with your comment
HMAR was a pure opportunity play; nothing more

I frankly was scared to death yesterday when there was no bottom and it was 50% luck 50% "skill" that it rebounded late in the day

(skill only in that I thought it would follow a pattern of coming off a bottom as has happened with many others in the past)

but, I could have just as easily found myself holding 15,000 shares over the weekend and watched my $'s go down the toilet

the luck part allowed me to sell most at a profit and hold over a small amount in the green
