skeet, nice that you ended up with a gain. That is what it is all about. Sometimes greed gets the best of us all including myself and we end up losing out. Glad you ended up with a profit. As for waiting til Thursday to trade again (being your funds are unsettled). Did you even contemplate switching your account staus to a "margin account"? You never have to trade on margin but by doing so you will have funds available immediately to buy into something else. Just a thought.
