Stopped out.  Betted against the overall market trend, not a smart thing to do.  PETS is a strong stock, but I should have done a more thorough analysis and relied on the total picture.

If your buying 2 shares the commissions are going to eat 10$ of your money away when you buy and sale, that is almost an guarantee loss.

I know, I don´t have much money, my goal is to trade well, regardless of commissions and grow the account with external money until I have enough money that commissions don´t matter.  At this point, 2 shares was as large of a percent of account equity I was willing to risk, and I got a few lessons from the loss. Hopefully that was a mistake I do not need to repeat.
