Alright, this thread is simply to make us talk and feel "good" about our terrible trades that looked good when we placed the order, but went bad after some news came out, or we just didn't a good job on our homeworks. Personal Bashing is not allowed, so take that crap to the play ground. God forbid we actually learn something from one another.
Ok, so here's mine. I went short the market shortly after the open/before the consumer confidence number. Anyone following the market knew what happened after that. I got caught with my pants down, and took a spanking from mother market. Down about a grand, but plan on working my way back with no revenge trading, just taking time to see how this beast plays out
