Hi! Although I have been a student of canslim for two years, and have
watched this board in the past, this is my first post. First of all, I
am really impressed by some of the commentary I've read herein, and hope
that my question will not be too elementary or off the (canslim) mark.
Perhaps others have experienced a similar situation to the one that I
did, and could give me some advice. On October 17 RINO broke out. I
saw it pass the pivot of 16.25 and climb quickly. By the time I checked
the volume, re-checked the chart, and got set up on my brokerage firm's
website to make the trade, the real time quote window showed a price of
around $16.80!! A quick math check indicated that I would still be
about 3.3 % above the pivot. Still OK, so I made the trade. I
immediately confirmed the purchase price, and it was $17.16! -- 5.5%
above the pivot! I quickly clicked the real time quote button: the
price and bid/ask didn't change! They were still in the $16.80 range!
Somehow I got stuck with shares that were about 35 cents (2.2%) above
the going rate. I kept checking the real time quote for the next few
minutes, and it still remained around 16.80 or a little lower. I talked
to the brokerage firm, and they said I got caught in a momentary
"upspike"-just a tough break. Why the price surged up dramatically for
a few moments and didn't remain elevated, they could not adequately
explain. My concern is this: is this situation the result of having
this particular broker? (By the way, I had a very similar situation
with them several months ago, but shrugged it off). Could I have
avoided this if I had another broker? Would it be prudent to adjust my
sell point accordingly since there is a good chance that I will be
shaken out as things now stand? Thanks,
Buck
