Well, I played today just about as badly as it could possibly be played. I was long, sold near the bottom, went short, and lost my ass twice. I lost 12% of my capital in one day. I'm out of the ****ing market for a year, maybe more if things haven't yet settled. God help me if I touch that buy button again.

The only two potentially stupid things I did today was NOT buy AAPL @ 120.xx which I was in turmoil over and the fact that I did sell my last 50 APA once they went back to a slight profit. At least it was lost opportunity (bad) and not more lost money (worse).

I love it.
Nothing like the possibility of 20% gains in a matter of half a day.

Holy cow! What a huge up-move in the market. All over the IDEA of an RTC?!
If you subscribe to the panic theory then we just hit bottom because the Financial market made the front page of the LA Times today...
