Thanks guys. It was a normal position size for me, with
not a lot of risk at my stop price. However, that was about
$0.40 higher than I sold for! Which is what makes it so
painful. I normally trade the ETFs but there hasn't been much
action there lately so I've taken to individual stocks. This
is precisely why i don't like to trade them! I'm not a very
good stock picker either so I'm usually better off with the
ETFs. This isn't a huge set back, I will recover, just want
to learn from these experiences.
