Flat tire and almost a grand lost....

Today has been one of my worst days in a while. This morning as I was rushing to get into work by 7:15am for my meeting, my left tire felt heavy...I know that feeling. Every single car I owned in my life (6 of them so far) all had flats and I had to change tires for all of them. Likewise, Mamba had a flat and thank god I had a full sized spare in my trunk, and was wearing my best pants and shirt..argh...and I thought that was bad.

I checked the price of a stock I recently purchased..It had appreciated 5% yesterday and today another 5%!!!!! 10% in days is an amazing feat...($18.9 - 20.6) and so I thought I made $1.7 per share for half -lot I purchased...I checked my trading account cos I was about to cash out my shares and my half lot was missing!!!! To my horror I realised my stocks were sold the same day I bought, a week ago..."it can't be...it must be a mistake..no way..ameritrade fu#ked it up"...I checked my trade history and realised I put in an order for $17 on limit...and NOT stop limit...ARGH!!!!! Usually its my habit to put a stop limit as soon as I purchase stocks to -10% of principle amount to safeguard my investment as I've been burnt before...but stupid me in a rush put an order for just limit. So all 500 shares were dumped immediately at the price I bought and I LOST $850 of potential earnings!!!!!!!!!!! I can't be pissed with anyone else but just me..
