EGRP trading higher in pre-market but I haven't heard any numbers yet. This is the situation we try to avoid here through diverisifcation and cash management: To: TATRADER (8215 ) From: Where'd He Go? ( Ignore ) Tuesday, Apr 20 1999 6:14AM ET Reply # of 8230 Hi Mark, I'm honored to be one of the regulars. Today was a very ugly day :( I'll share my mistakes so everyone can learn via osmosis and not first hand...and may b I'll learn this time :)...the last couple days I lost around 50% of my portfolio(the 3rd time this year...each time I lost a lot of profits...>50%...in a short period of time)...(@ least it was only part of my profits for the year...sheesh) by breaking the rules...not letting a profit turn into a loss, not cutting your losses using stop loss, making your game plan & following it, doing your homework (completely) each night on your open positions, not paying attention to your open volatile positions, etc. It always seems to happen right after a hot streak. Tomorrow b4 and after class/lab I'm going to have to do some serious damage control...maybe the inutz will bounce big to make my job easier :)
