I really hate it when this happens. I a couple days ago I wrote about the rare bearish tri star candlestick formation that had formed in CAGC after the enormous 130% + percent run up in only 1 months time frame. After I wrote about it, I took a little bit of time to see what the March Put Options were doing on CAGC. I was eyeing the March 25 out of the money put on CAGC which at the time was trading somewhere near .20 a contract.
So then I was thinking to myself how great a potential short term trade this would be in CAGC if it could somehow get to 25 or at least close to 25. But then I started doubting the trade since it only had till the end of this week till expiration and I feared that the bearish tri star would not evolve into a bearish follow through soon enough. And I really thought it would be a long shot for CAGC to get all the way to 25 with only a few days remaining until expiration. Also in the back of my mind was the persistent resiliency of CAGC and its ability to hold up strong.
In the final analysis my little fears and doubts and failure to pull the trigger on this trade (ie. actually taking the trade) was a big mistake because it ‘could have’ led to a 400% to 800% profit in only 2 or 3 days !!!
