Short-Sold 328 shares PCOP at $4.41 (16-May-08)
PCOP released some news about some new progress in some drug, yadda yadda, and it moved an enormous +37% this morning. Replicating my early-bird-who-gets-the-$300-worm mantra, I immediately shot a short-sell long range missile at PCOP because I don't care if it's got positive drug data. I play the odds, and odds are PCOP will not sustain such a ridiculous gain since its average trade volume is 145...... View Blog

Investment Style
Intra-Day All In:
If a vertical free fall appears in a chart, I bet on its immediate or intra-day rebound and I set a limit order to sell within a reasonable +5% to +10% gain range.
Multi-Day Half-In and Double Down:
I take a multi-day long position with only half of funds and double down if stock price ticks down 5% to 10% of what I bought it at.
