Friday the 13th? Full Moon Effect? or Just Being a Dumb Ass?
DUMB ASS 100%
So week two was a punch in the gut with my biggest loss yet. Mostly due to being stubborn and justifying why I was breaking one of the rules (cutting losses quickly and moving on) and holding on to SIRI. While "maybe" at some point the stock will climb and make a good long trade, it just isn't working for me. Tim gave some advice regarding picking random stocks and getting random results... and guess what? The guy was right. I didn't see his message until the end of day and SIRI was already down. Then today it continued down and my Stock Wars account took the hit.
I was able to make up some of the losses with long positions in a couple of mid-day gainers... I followed the up trend and netted 2% to 3% of the day's total gains. But that said, the account still missing a chunk of meat.
Penny Stocks 1000 did better. Still took a loss but not as bad. I'm holding a couple of short sells over the weekend.
