    Curious, do you remember where you got in on Tellabs?

    SunTrader from post #15 of this thread. His quote was included in my post. Eons ago, he rode a stock down aprox $30 to take a $3 gain. Made me wonder where he got in.

    Actually I dug into my old files for curiosity sake and I bought TLAB 8/13/98 @ $72 7/16 and sold 1/8/99 for $75 3/8 - after it dropped and rose back up from the 30's.

    Held that "daytrade" so long the purchase was with old broker from Y2K bubble history Datek but transferred and sold with another broker no longer around All-Tech.

    Wish I had kept a screengrab. But what I really wish I had done was not hold over night. Gapped down next day and then went lower ... and lower ... and lower.

  5. HORRIBLE trade. I can't emphasize this enough.
