Plans of an o/n hold, former runner, held above $1 lvl (holding its gains). I could have made this losing trade half the amount had I not added, but I'm not mad at that because I remember GNUS I traded it similarly to MARK today. The problem I believe was buying when the stock just spiked out of nowhere at 14:00 on fluff news. Overall markets being green, close to new highs gave me conviction. Held a/h and once it reached 1.68 I cut it. Yeah there's a chance of it gap-up, but the possibility of that happening were slim. Had it spiked and traded since the morning then more eyes would have been on the stock.
HINDSIGHT 5/19/20: realizing that I was so laser focused on the intraday 1-min price action that I kept failing to see the bigger picture, the macro picture.
