Bought 140 Shares of FAS at 6.68, Stopped Out at 6.33

]]> Bought 140 shares of FAS at 6.68, with a stop loss at 6.32.

I took a shot at FAS this morning, but I picked the wrong dip to buy. It dropped to about 6.00 a little while after I bought, and that would have been a good entry point. I entered at the wrong time, but I’m happy I set a stop-loss and stuck with it.

Realized a loss of $63.00, for a return of -6.69%.

Exited my FAS position. I got a little scared and felt like I had to take profits after being down so much on this one. That of course illustrates the problem of letting a bad trade run for so long and not going in with a stop-loss order. Lesson (hopefully) learned.

Realized a gain of $44.92, for a return of 1.93%.
