RIDICULOUS!!
Investors dumped stocks following disappointing results from General Electric (GE) and Yahoo Inc. (YHOO). Initial jobless claims were worse than expected and bond prices rose.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged 206 points (2.0%) to 10,176, the S&P 500 index swooned 27 points (2.4%) to 1104, and the Nasdaq Composite tumbled 42 points (2.4%) to 1725. All ten of the S&P industry sectors fell, led by telecom and industrial shares. Losers outpaced gainers by about 2 to 1 on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq. 1.5 billion shares traded on the Big Board as 1.7 billion shares changed hands on the Nasdaq.

I found it really cool that you did not make a big deal out of the heart-breaking short cover on IBM just before the gap down - It shows true professionalism. I need to take notes on that one 
Keep up the good work. I'm sure many of us find your posts beneficial.
May the Trading Gods be with you forever

I had noticed that too, thinking at the time how it would have broken my heart to get out right before the big gap down.
And I admired your professionalism and complete lack of whining. As Tony said, I need to take notes on that one!Thanks for your thread Seanote, I enjoy it alot.
the only thing i could think of was.... j/k=jerk
