chrisaetos777, interesting. I have not made a mistake such as that, though I have heard of others doing so. I'm unsure of what I would do if I was in that particular scenario. I would most likely keep stops tight and look deeper into the fundamentals, but specifically the charts.
thought, spikes like this do not happen by accident.
Wrong, spikes like today or the day when you bought into your position are frequent when looking at (AEG). Look at the Beta, it's at 2.15. That means that the (AEG) is 115% more volatile than the market. To give you an idea, (AEG) currently ranks 365 out of 6,747 based on volatility when using a screener. So it's safe to say that price movements both up and down are common here, not to mention the gaps.
(AEG) seems to be in a horizontal channel with a possible symmetrical triangle beginning to form. I believe the day you bought into your position is when the PPS was that the height of the top line channel. Short term, the PPS seems that it could fall down to the $8.70 range.
