    i bought at 116 at the close.... sold at 123 in the rush up, then whipsawed.

    Made the mistake of not holding much in the account I manage for someone else, could have made him a ton more today (+5K in that account, which for me is a good day)

    RIMM earnings have always been good to me.

    Made a killing last year in the earnings when they announced the split, bought a bunch of calls at 2.15 a piece, sold the next day at close to 20 a pop...

    Too bad there's not much of a pop on those now.

  7. I am a bad trader. Being that I am a bad trader, I'm holding ten shares overnight (bought @ $121)

    Why does this make you a bad trader? The trade is still profitable....

    We all start off somewhere.

  10. Thanks. I got stopped out of the trade, I set my stop at 121. Net loss about 25 bucks. Live and learn.
