bought at 19.875....was that a good move? Ask me next week or next month :-). Seriously, I'm ultra peeved about yesterday's stock action, because my deal with my wife was if the stock went below 15, I'd sell (I didn't put in a stop order). Stock was 17 and change then I checked back in 15 minutes and it was 13 1/2. I had no choice but to sell - rather explain to my wife that I sold at 13 1/2 rather than 11 if it had gone down, and then I watched it go up the rest of the day (couldn't buy back in because on the dip I'd gotten a margin call, so my buying power was at 0 until today). I bought in today at 16, 17 1/4, and 19 1/4. I have less than half the number of shares I had yesterday (only 200 now). My mistake for being so margined. Anyway if I bought at 19 1/4, sure I'll tell you that 19 7/8 was a good price. But I also was pretty sure the stock wouldn't go below 16.40 yesterday and I was wrong ;-). -Mike P.S. Thanks everyone who is helping me with the search engine experiment. I've had close to 400 queries run in the last 3 days. The more the merrier. For anyone who hasn't already, plase go to cs.umd.edu and bookmark that site, then next time you want to run a hotbot or altavista query, could you please use it? Thanks ;-)
