Autonomy Corp - the pain of trading

aarrgghhhh....b*ll#x

Autonomy Corp, rose 7.1% today to close at 1376. I blogged on 15th April (after my 1300 stop had been hit), that I was going to monitor this stock and 'see what happens'.

Well now it's bloody clear what's happened! The pro's forced the stock down, taking out the weak hands, before piling back into it on expectation that it was going to beat Q1 forecasts. Today, it duly beat Q1 expectations and rocketed upwards.

What is even more galling, is that last night I analysed the stock (as well as Centamin and Wellstream) , but decided to place orders for Centamin and Wellstream only!!

I'll say it one more time - b*ll#x
That's better, I've moved on now....(& for the record, its now too far from value to consider partaking!!)
