So get used to it. Although I doubt it, the market could reverse today and close up 400 points, so tight stops are key. Although OIH and SMN gapped, they are giving ample opportunities to get involved. I added to SMN and initited OIH with tight stops.
I'm staying away from the financials for a good long time. I probably won't be long the group for years to come as I have an aversion to being long the government in any aspect.
$CHK is getting bombed another 20%, does Aubrey still have stock for sale? I don't think so.

..., so tight stops are key.
That's a bit of a contradiction to your main point about volatility remaining high. In a high vol environment stops are more likely to get hit by the normal back and forth, if they are not expanded.
excellent point and everybody has their own definition of what tight is-this tape is insane, especially with the programs and black boxes not knowing WTF to do-i'd rather get stopped more often and re-enter-i cold tell you stories about what SDS has done to me in the last few days in seconds-not minutes good luck
