at last, some action: BGF, my first purchase, finally hit .44 and the sale went through the moment the auction opened this morning. Meaning I have my $10,000 back and a profit of (sound of pen scratching on paper), $295, after allowing $50 brokerage. yee-hah.

meanwhile also, my ex-employer's shares have gone up ten percent. as the evil Computershare has forced me to sell them via their system, which involves posting an order in the MAIL, I have no idea whether I caught the peak or not - all $400 of it. must call them today.

now at least I can afford to buy back the $1000 worth of their shares I wanted to get.

I won't dive into another daytrading purchase until I sell either the $10,000 of bta shares I have (which are not going anywhere right now) or the $5000 of vba.
