I thought I had a dip buy here, but really was just the stock trying to recover and couldn't. This was more of a panic and out of frustration...I keep saying that I'll keep my emotions out of trading, but holy cr@p this is not easy...I also stayed in longer as I believed I might be able to cut my losses but it hit over $50 loss and that is where I draw the line and get out...very upsetting day and used 2 of my 3 day trades...

So lets be clear, I'm an idiot. I was up $50 some odd dollars and that was my goal, but I got greedy. The stock was about 2.93 and I was saying, let it hit $3 and get out. Well if you look at the charts, OUT OF NOWHERE it dropped some .30 cents and I wen from making $50 to barely $8...Also, need to put a larger position in a company to help me close the gap between profit and losing on trade commissions...

So my comission fee is what screwed me here. But I was so happy I got in on this trade 10 seconds before Tim did! However, this stock experience a quadrouple bottom and never really rose again. Tim put 10,000 shares in at 1.40 and out at 1.44 but made $400. I realize now, I need to invest more per trade if I really want to start making these gains I desire. I'm happy I cut my losses quickly as I could have been much worse. Still learning every day!

Learned two things; 1) Take your profits and leave 2) Buy on Hype, Sell on NEWS!!! There was a conference call on the first stage of treatment, so leading into the news the stock skyrocketed, as the news was released the stock was halted. When it opened it bounced a little but mostly RED....One day later went from 1.30 down to .80...minor loss, but learned two valuable lessons.

Got in a little later than I wanted to but I left for class and was monitoring it while setting alerts at the .95 and $1.00 range as I was driving and it kept going off lol. This trade helped me recover my loss from this morning and with anticipation of a CC today, I'm hoping my overnight shares of 200 @ 1.29 continue to make me some more money. Best of luck to me and everyone else in on ATOS Update: Learned "buy on rumor, sell on news" it tanked the next day...

First Trade ever. Got In to late and then got out quickly and cut my loses, saved my self big!
