Sim day 2:

Went into this trade as it was called out in Kunal's chat room for a short. ORB fade but someone mentioned in the chat room that it was a buyout. So I exited the trade with a slight loss because I will not trade stocks that are being bought out. My experience with them is they do not make any significant moves usually just channel all day.

I don't think this one was a buyout.. or at least... not a full buyout. But I agree with you about staying away from buyouts. Thinking about it, if one company buys another for say... 10 bucks/share.. how much will that stock price be for the near term? Yep.. 10 bucks. Not much wiggle room there. :)

Wayne it was as you say a partial buyout. Next time I will review the news on each stock I consider trading to see if the firm is being bought. TKs for the comments.
