Thanks. This is the lowest point of my four-year trading career. It's tearing me up. Be careful not to let trading take over your emotions and psyche like I have allowed it to do since Feb. 9. [I still can't believe that was only a week ago -- potential $27,000 swing in 7 trading days!] I knew ATRN was a great play, but I never expected it to rise so far, so fast. My target was $1.00, but I thought it wouldn't hit that 'til at least April. Now, it's looking like it could get to $1.00 by the end of next week. Take a lesson from me. Don't get greedy for an extra $525, because it could end up costing you up to $25,000+ in the long run (and "long run" here means only one week . . . ONE WEEK!!!). I can hardly sleep, find it difficult to eat . . . I've been "living" by stocks (I have a job, but trading is my passion), and now it looks like I'm "dying" by stocks. It's a double-edged sword. Live by the sword (trade), die by the sword (trade). I mean, my account balance has never been over $20,000 in four years, and it could be at almost $30,000 in only seven more days from my fatal mistake on Feb. 9. It's truly a nightmare, bringing me more horror than I ever thought possible. I can't believe trading can affect a person this much! I made every mistake I could possibly make in the past seven days, and it's sooo easy to say "shoulda, coulda, woulda." One simple mis-calculation, and everything blows up. Y'all be careful. Don't become what I have just become. An emotional, psychological wreck. ATRN is simply exceeding my expectations, which is a dream come true if I had stayed in, held tight. But the ATRaiN has been charging up the tracks without me, and I fear I'll never catch back up.
