I figure God took pity on this pathetic human and decided to throw a little good news my way. I bought a chunk of NYX this morning based on its cup with handle pattern. I moved on with my day, and unknown to me, they halted trading. A few minutes ago, I was puzzled to see a big gain on my screen, and I figured it must be an error. It turns out NYX is in merger talks, which is really weird since this happened during market hours.
As depressed as I've been lately, it's nice that something good happen to me, even if it was mostly dumb luck. Thanks, big guy. I needed this. (Follow-up: I just checked, and I entered the trade at 35.19 within seconds of the trading being halted. WOW! I sold it at 39.55 just now.)
