"Today was a perfect example of why it would be hard for myself and many other longs to day trade this stock..You just never know when that barn burner news release is going to come out!!! Over the last few years ...we longs have experienced several days like today!!"

..... and it's also why you lost, giving up gains every time because you couldn't discipline yourself to sell some shares, so you rode it to the bottom. The simple fact is that most could have been millionaires now if they had of played properly. I sold some NOT today at an average of $2. It doesn't matter if it goes to the moon, as you put it, from this point as I made a significant profit on what I sold and still have the bulk of my shares growing cash. Making profit is what it's about and if you hold on long enough you'll end up losing..... just check out the NOT track record and notice that through that time the same things were said then as today....."going to the moon", etc. and notice what happened. Nothing wrong with holding as an investment long term, and you're prepared to lose it if it comes to that, but if you're "riding" the forums regularly it would seem expedient to take advantage of the trading techniques. I fully expect NOT to become a great money maker but I won't say it's a sure thing. Life has a way of letting the eggs fly in the general direction of your face. Today was a very nice move and volume indicates that it will likely continue tomorrow. Will the sp fly out of the gates tomorrow or will it drop a bit to start? That's what I'll be looking for and if it drops enough I'll by back my shares and keep the extra cash. If it doesn't I'm still way fine.
