I'm not sure how many did this after my post. 58 call is already 30% up.

I apologize. I wish your first experience with this had turned out with a profit. You can see what happened. I caught a big fish early on, so I obviously have fond feelings for it, because those are very easy to work with. But, I did warn you that , as you can see from the bigger picture, that runaway part of the bull mkt had stopped a few weeks ago. This is always the tough time because you don't know if it is a pause, before a resumption....or, is this a top. I also got chopped up many times during these past few weeks. But, even during this non ideal period, it is especially important to never chase this particular stock. It has a strong tendency to have large spikes, in both directions, that are immediately reversed, at nearly some point everyday.....especially in the first 5-10 minutes of the day. You did the right thing when you bought on a big enough pullback, and you didn't chase the market....but , it pulled back just enough more to stop you out. Stocks are like people...they have very unique personalities, and you have to develop a longer term relationship with them to be able to know (as best as you can) how they will be most likely to behave in different conditions. I dumped all of my Nov stuff today. Then bought some Dec on the way down. I'm still holding those, plus the Jan that I already had. K was a happy surprise for me today.

I got out of TDG 260 call at 10 right now.
