Curious to see if GM recovers at all today - dead cat bounce. Watching with amusement as Tivo slides back down, there's a stock that was heavily speculated on due to news. Fighting the impulse to buy MU again before their report next week and waiting for a chance to get back into Ceragon for around $5.00 - may pick some up anyway since I don't mind owning it for the longer run. Then I remembered I had to sell my Symantec under the 5% rule - really a coin flip since AMD is down too far as well. Sold out of SYMC at $20.23, bought at $21.19, so a $106 loss with round trip trading costs. Compared to the rest of the week, it looks like a real bargain. I don't even remember why I bought SYMC at this point, something about a new computer worm out on the web, I think.
