Well, $90 for an overnight wait isn't too bad.  Bought at $12.55 and sold at $13.00 the next day. 

I wanted to go longer on this one, and might jump back in, but I don't trust the market right now, so I took the profits while I could.  I've been wanting to go longer on a few of my small caps, but keeping cash freed up in an uncertain market is important.  Things "look" like they're getting better, but I'm not convinced yet.

 $90 may not be much for some people, but to a small time trader like me, that's a decent showing for one day's wait.  If I can make $100 a week, that will almost cover my housenote for a month. Can't beat that.

Danny, where is your usual deep analysis of the PURCHASE?  The selling reasons make perfect sense but the whole world awaits your buying logic! (well maybe a part of the world)

heheh, thanks for the comment. :) 

AMSF ended the day at $13.16, so again, I sold too soon.  At least I waited 3/4 of the trading day before selling though.

Usually my long write-ups about my purchases take my being in the right mood, which usually means that I've got enough free time to write them.  For the past two weeks, I've been busy cleaning and getting my old house ready for a realtor to sell and wading my way through 4 sets of essays.  (--About 330 pages in essays, overall.) 

Anyways, I've been laying a bit lower than usual, but I've been trying to post a little more often here in the last day or two.

I'll by AMSF again when it dips sufficiently.  After the market closing about 400 points up, I'm sure there's going to be some selling in the next few days.  If AMSF doesn't go down, i'm sure there will be another good buy out there.
