If you analyze this trade you'll see how funny it is. I had never shorted a stock before and I wanted my risk/reward to be about $10-$20 both ways. Basically with trading commissions to break even either way. This was my first short sell of all time. And although it may sound dumb, I wanted to try doing it before with this stock as I thought I saw the top. and I had never executed that type of trade before. Would have preferred a profit but I'll take the practice. It spiked after I covered.
