[11:41] {level777} from about 2.57
[11:43] {magoo} whenever i get frustrated..cut a trade..openly critisize it..IT WORX lol
[11:44] {Threei} I saw NVASX news... didn't belueve in it at all
[11:44] {magoo} nvax is usually a serial disappointer
[11:44] {level777} nothing to do with believing..has to do with investor hype
[11:44] {Threei} let me elaborate
[11:44] {level777} :)
[11:45] {Threei} didn't believe any hype could move it
[11:45] {level777} i sold @ 2.69
[11:45] {level777} thats my comviction
[11:45] {level777} none of these bio news stocks holds gains unless $$ attached to it
[11:46] {Threei} and even then... {G}
[11:46] {level777} well, i guess they get a P/E then..thats worse news for a bio stock
[11:47] {BillyD} I just want them to hold gains for scalp ordaytrade
[11:47] {BillyD} and...NVAX struggles with even that
[11:47] {BillyD} in my experience...as magoo says: serial disappointer
[11:47] {level777} went up 20%
[11:48] {level777} maybe 15
[11:48] {nemo} Billy D....Magoo's not that bad
[11:48] {BillyD} right, but it seems to pullback past stop, etc
[11:48] {BillyD} in the past, haven't watched today
[11:49] {level777} you'd think after years of watching this scenario repeat over & over, some people would learn
[11:51] {nemo} wfc wedging towards .70 (frickin' pos)
[11:51] {BillyD} I've learned it doesn't normally work for my style
[11:52] {BillyD} glad you made $ on it
[11:52] {level777} good observation
[11:52] {level777} sticking with what works for you
