Not a bad day considering the news. Was up early in the day over $2,000 but slowly tapered off and finished down for the day $75.22. The indexes were down 102.43 and 12.14 for the DOW and S&P 500, respectively.
Made one bonehead move today. I bought to close my covered call on MS even though I knew I shouldn't have. I tried to cancel the order but stupid Etrade wouldn't let me because I had put it in as a market order. I always always put in my orders as limit orders so I'm not sure why I did this. Anyways I bought it for $4 when I could have bought it later in the day for less than $2. Total damage -$732. A huge loss that I'm not used to taking.
oh well.
