Got a little lucky with this one. Saw news pop about these guys and AAPL, pulled up the chart and saw the big spike, and jumped in with both feet. Certainly a chase, by I figured that it was down a bunch on the daily, and also had based out intra day, so may be due for s good move back long. Ended up working out well, although the R/R was not very good due to my entry. I toyed with holding some overnight, but have been burned by this stock in the past on a gap down, so decided to unload when it began a pullback.

Nice. I understand it is a chase but if you can catch the news within the first 2-3mns, I think it is ok to chase a bit because it can really run..but once that first candle is in, then it is a different story
