waiting patiently to get hold of their parcel of shares at the price that they think is fair and right. But don't you hate that kind of feeling..all of a sudden there is a trading halt and a notice saying that an anncm is to be released, you want to do something abt it like don't mind paying a little bit more just to own the shares before they are open again. Unfortunately by then everyone wants a piece of the action as well and the price suddenly gap up and you miss the boat. You said to yourself ..oh well, guess I will just wait for it to come down again the next few days But if your guess is wrong and if the price goes up further, you will not only kick yourself but you will talk yourself out of it cos' by then you will feel so bad that you could have got in at a bargain earlier. Just curious does this sound familiar to anyone's experience or is it just me??
