Good points above, gents.

Took a step back to reassess my strategy and you guys are right -- the times I've made the most money were with longer-term holdings.. save for AAPL.

That being said, I'm highly intrigued with options trading now. I've been watching some videos on options trading strategies and it looks like something I could get into. I wish I had a pro trader platform, though.

w00t!

I set my mCig stop at .70--looks like it bounced off it without going below and proceeded to close at .80. Up another 23%

That's very interesting. I noticed it closed at .81. Finishing the day on a high is a bullish sign.

Still. We're talking about a 200m valuation. With a single person running the business. Can you imagine him today? I would have F5'd 65,000 times.

Been quite a ride for LO and RAI this week, if they actually do merge it would be sweet from where I am at, at least with LO. I don't expect this kind of excitement out of the tobacco stocks I buy.

Me too... Bonus check hit the bank today.

Need to start using my taxable account I guess... I'm sitting on too much cash.

Sounds like its time to double down on MCIG, ha ha.

Anyone track SGMO?

MCIG just dropped below 70 so my stop order was filled....I'm out.

Would think about buying back in to see what this VitaCig spin-off does...but it seems like even more of a gimmick than their main product.

It feels like we are on the verge of correcting again. Or perhaps it's already started, although the downward pressure yesterday wasn't too significant.

I'm actually hoping we do get 6 to 10%, I have some cash waiting to be put to work.
