Was trying to catch the morning spike. unfortunately there was no spike, just a dip buying opportunity. I now understand what Tim means by a stock being choppy. It was going up and down like lightning. I also was forcing a trade, i needed to leave for work so i felt like i had to make a trade. Had i waited another minute the stock would have started to dip and i could have bough the bounce. Instead i cut my losses. Don't force trades!
