I think I am going to kick myself for making this trade.  It's not the price point is bad.  It's the circumstances.  I bought the shares using unsettled funds, so I can't sell it for 3-days until the funds settle.  Which means I can't sell it if the going gets good, and I can't stop out if the going get's bad... hmmm

 I don't like trading with greed.  Greed takes you out of the game.  And leaving myself vulnerable is not my style..  but c'est la vie.

Ok I now have my stop loss and Sell price setup.  Now I can breathe...  I was wondering why it TITN was going to such ridiculous levels.. and I found out that the stock has:

TITN $ 22.54
Titan Machinery Inc.

  • Shares Short 5,149,100
  • Days To Cover (Short Ratio) 10.6
  • Short % of Float 43.53 %
  • Short % Increase/Decrease 14.33 %
  • % from 52-Week HIGH ( 34.49 ) -53.02 %
  • % from 52-Week LOW ( 9.18 ) 59.27 %
  • Shares Short -Prior Mo 4,503,900
  • Todays Trading Volume 258,532
  • Avg. Daily Volume 485,600
  • Volume vs. Avg 53.24 %
  • Outstanding Shares 17,632,184
  • Float 11,830,000
  • SI Record Date 2008-AugA
  • Exchange NAS
So I think that says it all.  It's being heavily shorted, and with 43.53% of the float shorted there must be alot of naked shorting going on.  ...
