This trade may have worked out, but i'm nto happy with the entry or exit strategy. With the with i initially put on, I should have stopped out right off the beginning. I don't know why I didn't pay attention to the gap. That would have been the safer entry. If it didn't happen, their would still have been other opportunities to get in. When the stock stalled at 7, I stubbornly ignored what was happening because I believed it was going lower. I should have sold another 1/3 and been riding lotto shares which I could/should have sold at the bail out later.
