A little bit. Got out at 4.65 then. I had meetings to go to and didn't want to come back and see that the price had dropped.

Absolutely no reason to sweat it imo. Learn from it what you can (maybe sell 1/2 next time if you need to), but the main thing is you had the ballz to get in in the first place and held it as long as you did.
Trades >100k shares at a clip, assumeably on the offer price of the current stock or higher, suggesting people are paying up for it in size. Otherwise its a little misleading since all trades involve a buyer and seller, and anyone that buys a block, buys it from someone willing to sell a block.

I wouldn't bank on a buyout. No one knows exactly what's going to happen in the near-term. Either way, you have essentially very little invested in E*Trade. You'll be able to sleep at night and not worry what really does happen. I would just use this trading as a getting your "feet wet" experience and also having a vested interest in following the stock market and E-Trade. At most you'll lose $80... and at the very best scenario you could gain 500%-800%.

Ah, I see. I was actually going to buy a few call options... specifically the 10.00 Jan '10 ones, but they are over-priced at this point. A lot of the call options look over-priced.
Depending on how market conditions are towards the end of the year, I can see this stock retracing back to the $8.00 mark... longer term, I would wager either a buy-out or a rocky climb back to the $20's once they clear their CDO mess.
Boy, did I give myself a lot of "outs" 🙂
We saw 6 already. It's formed a base around 5.80-90 and the MM aren't letting it go much below...they might try again to flush out day traders and stop loss/trailing stop orders and probably bid it up later in the day.
Even the short term buyers (like me, Azurik) aren't selling their 60% profit...my guess is it will push up to like 6.20 by EOD or erode to ~$5.50.

I am kicking myself for only buying 700 shares.
but should I even get in now for the second time around for a smaller profit? I'm thinking if it is worthwhile to get more while it's still under $6.
I know it wont go back to the 20s. but if this ever hit the teens, boy, new car here I come. i hope this rolls up a bit and a good buyer comes along to bring them up further.
