Hope you all rode this rocket up with me. This was hell of a fucking trade.

Bought 800 shares at $21, sold on that Thursday before earnings when it dropped suddenly to $17's. All I had to do was hold and I'd be about $25k richer and not carrying over capital gains losses year to year.

No offense, but if you bought 800 shares of it only to cut and run after a 20% drop then your paper handed weenie.

You bought 800 shares because you didn’t have any faith in it?
