Another instance of not sticking to an actual plan, the stock briefly hit .04 and I chose to continue to hold on, even though all the indicators were against me at this point. Poor call, trying to make up for my stupidity on DLOC. I'll be taking a couple days off to regroup, study up more, and then come back.

Entry comments: Dip buy attempt.

Exit comments: Sheer stubbornness and sheer stupidity and ego and a total lack of anything resembling intelligence with this one. I got caught in a pump and refused to back out. Terrible mistake.

Quite possibly the worst trade I've ever made, had massive execution issues with Etrade, so got in much later than I had wanted, and then like an idiot held on and forced the issue, resulting in a big loss. Absolutely terrible.

Got in as the stock dipped to pre market support levels. Stock continued to bounce all over the place, so exited after a few minutes of watching the bounce. Which ended up being waaaaaay too soon, as I'm typing this the stock has been halted after breaking $8. Happy about the initial execution, but really annoyed about getting out when I did.

Bought on a promising headline, stock had already hit over $4. Held on far longer than I should have, was waiting for the possibility of the news to take affect. Although as I'm typing this the stock is now climbing back to 3.80. I violated rule #1.

Bought to hold overnight, planning on a pop for Blackout Tuesday (that's what happens when you buy into hype). The pop happened super early pre-market, and then faded. And, due to a lack of proper discipline, I held too long looking for a large enough spike to minimize my loss. Which clearly was not the right thing to do. Lesson learned.

Entry comments: Breaking News alerted this one before any PR was released, stock had spiked on rumor. Holding this one for a bit to see how it plays out, stock is holding in the 1.50ish range so far.

Exit comments: No PR (which you never really know when it will come out), however it climbed to the 1.70's on chat/Twitter action. So, taking small gains, wipes out my stupid loss on UONEK.

Caught an alert from Breaking News on this one, had reached over $2.00 during pm. Waited for dip after the open, and waited for a convincing uptick with some volume (though I might have hesitated a little longer than needed, but that was my comfort level, so I'm ok with it). Got out a little under my 10% goal as it started to get very choppy, but I'm happy with the execution overall.

Totally missed my entry, saw the dip in the morning, but major hesitation on buying into the first dip, I was looking for more convincing breakout after that, then was late getting into the actual bounce. Then tried to get greedy and hope for a return to the morning high at 1.04. All in all a very sloppy and poorly executed trade, got out at just about break even. Lesson here: more discipline needed in sticking to an actual plan.

Bought on news alert again, attempted to get out in the mid 6's but again with the ETrade delays in execution. Really fast moving stock, but the pattern was a smaller repeat from yesterday.
