I sold my Nvidia holdings at 124... watched it drop to 104 day before yesterday... went to bed thinking "wake up early and buy Nvida again at the open"... overslept by about 2 hours... and it was at 114 already... went up to 117 now back to 111 and change. If I was a day trader... I probably could have make 7 percent in that one day trade. Damn... kicking myself.
