As for the eating at ya...boy I know, I once missed a 2500 percent ONE DAY move in options!! I sold them for 50 percent profit but had just started trading and messed up by exiting WAY EARLY.

Legendary investor Bernard Baruch was asked what the secret of his success was. "Selling too early," he said.

WOW is that true in the big picture.

But I could have sold a portion of my puts on the stock’s way down...but I’ve always been an all or nothing person.

That’s why at 51 I’m in a lot of trouble at retirement :)

I can’t live past 71 1/2 according to my retirement calculator :)
