So, I think I was a little miffed at missing the previous dump. When I saw that it might o red on the day, I figured maybe there was more shorting to be had. This was a bad idea. I did many bad things here. Too a quick loss in the beginning, jumped back in to make it back and did pick up about 1/3 of it. Then held on for the massive flush I just knew was coming, when I could have covered and ended at least flat on this trade, and instead let it ride and stopped for a big loss. Should never have tried this.

You can't short after a $10 flush especially on a momo stock like this. Every pullback to the upside was a short opportunity since it couldn't hold its opening range to the upside in the morning. The rests were just revenge trades. I'm as guilty as ever of these
