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.

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.

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. :)
