I did!! I grabbed NTES premarket..

of course- I gotta be honest.. I sold it at 61.30 and thought I was king of the trading world. I have a real serious problem selling too soon and I need to really address it... It seems that buy points it essentially pretty easy for the most part, but its the selling thats difficult. Not so much with the likes of SOHU, SINA and such simply because those stocks are insane and move 2 points in under an hour (or a minute!) but on trades like IBM, MSFT.. a huge problem for me..

I harbor alot of negative emotions from 5 years ago when I was trying to trade for a living and those feelings still hang over me- especially when I have a profit..

At least I figured out how to take my loses like a man.. of course I wouldnt be here still if I didnt figure out that part of the equation : )

Have a good one Fred- I busted my butt today.. didnt leave this screen once, not even for lunch.. Not a good habbit to get into.

Fred, I followed your lead on SINA - sold 1 position for a buck, riding the 2nd helping for quite a bit more - now $42.50 AH. Thanks for the heads-up. phill
