I sure was wrong on ANTP. Glad I bailed @ 24.75

Bounce and die

not heeding the volume dryup last week. My intuition told me that she was going to fall down on me, but I talked myself out of believing the chart.
In any case, I think she is going to shoulder-head-shoulder me, and then fall hard. We have a pretty good support level at $22.50, but whether it is worth anything will depend upon the market news.
Here's the chart:

Newborn you stuck to your plan and that is what matters. Sure if NGPS sets up again your can always buy it back. You would be surprised how many trade with out an exit strategy. This strategy also includes the max pain you will allow against your position. I was surprised with the sudden drop. Only signal I got was the slight drop below the trend line. I have seen several stocks volume dry up and then bust to the upside, this was not the case with NGPS today. What happened with this pup? Did the MM drop the bid for the big dogs? Who knows, but we all now NGPS took a nice little spill. How many are now waiting in ambush to stalk this puppy off an intra day set up?
If this puppy does pop tomorrow don’t get into the “I should have held it for another few days”, this is when the hope it moves up comes into play. Then after that its like “man now I’ve really got a mess here and I got no choice but to hold it”. The truth is nobody can assure anything in the markets except that everyday some are on the wrong side of the trade.
Once my stop gets hit I’m gone period.. In fact most times I will drop the sucker from my screen and move on to the next one. ANTP is one recently that I blundered pretty good, but It’s history now. The challenge I think in this game is to trade well. The cash will come for those who trade well. We all expect to win, but how we act when we lose is what makes the difference. IMO

Good work, Spock
Originally posted by WebsmanNGPS came within .19 of my stop loss point. That's why I'm still in. I allowed for an 8% loss rather than my usual 5% because of the smaller size of position.
Let's see if it recovers tomorrow.
