Hi Bruce, A weird thing happened to me today. In the early am the folks on CNBC were saying the market was going to hell in a hand basket. Having much experience when this happens a particular stock that I have, always went to hell with them. Someone may have heard of it...the symbol is MRVC! So I thought...well nothing has changed so I better sell all my shares of MRVC that I had under 13 right away. Well I got lucky(I thought ) and by some miracle at the open they were sold right away. Man, I thought, I won't get caught holding these babies in this terrible day in the market and I'll buy them back when they hit the 11's. Boy was I feeling smart. down it went. Then an odd thing began to happen, my other stocks were still going down but MRVC was going back up! This isn't suppose to happen..is it? My heart was saying YES...but my eyes were telling me no, my system must be wrong. Or those damn MM's were just trying to suck me in, AGAIN. WHO would want to buy this dog especially on a day like today? I just don't know how to act when things like this begin to happen. The big boys were accumulating this stock all day long and I thought they must be out of their minds. Could this dog be turning into a greyhound? How will I explain this to my Psychiatrist? Somebody must know something I don't know. Can anyone help? Confused, again. John :-(
