Nasty Reversal Day Ended at Breakeven

October 25th, 2007

I was short two stocks yesterday: BRCM and ALTR.  BRCM came really close to my partial profit target which would have allowed me to walk away with a little bit of money.  Instead several Rs worth of profit evaporated into a breakeven day.  These reversal days are actually relatively rare - they occur much more infrequently than I would have imagined before we started tracking them on StockTickr.

Here are the charts:

ALTR.20071024

BRCM.20071024
