This was an unexpected set of trades this morning.  One of my old price alerts went off because FTR opened below $8 and down over 13%.  On the spot at 9:30pm I quickly dumped my OXPS (made ~8% for the couple weeks I had it) and had a tough time getting into Frontier.  I was at my keyboard by FTR 8.07 but it was going back up faster than I could get my buy order in.  I ended up settling for a market order and got in at 8.32.  That’s fine since I already had it in my head that if nothing changed I would be OK getting back in someday at anything under $9.  I got out of FTR originally since it was a big dividend sitting in a taxable account.  I wanted to get it moved over to my IRA but always had something else I wanted to pick up after FTR made it’s run before.
