Out for DIA

Well my DIA Call got stopped out at 126, it was a mistake from my part because it was a counter trend trade. I should not go against my friend, TREND.

Can't believe it happened so fast, my small account hast lost over 50% of its value in a month since the Fed Announcement.

Lessons learned, always hedge my position on volatile days like that, I may as well set some contingent orders in the system so when the index falls sharply I can get into some put right away and vice versa.

Luckily, my IRA is still holding up very well.

Had I been staying with those mutual funds, I would have lost a big chunk of my retirement in the last down swing.
