Break even today, was down 60 bucks at one point. I have trouble pulling the trigger on highly volatile stocks like RIMM. I'll sit and watch a...
+22.50 for the day, +71.01 for the week. I guess there's hope for me yet. *edit* Sorry for the dumb question, but: What is LFT?

I hope no one in here bought Dryships at 84.19 LOL
