the new normal
The big fluctuations in U stocks have damped out. Perhaps we are seeing them stabilize to their "new normal". I feel like it is prudent to wait a little longer before considering diving back in. Who knows, the "new normal" may have a stock like HAT stabilize around 2.50 and then I won't be particularly inclined to get in like I would if it stabilized around 1.50, but hey in stocks sometimes you take a good opportunity, sometimes you pass up on what turns out to be a good opportunity, sometimes you take a bad opportunity, and sometimes you refrain from getting into a bad opportunity.
You're never going to hit all the good opportunities and avoid all the bad ones. The one thing I do know for sure is that if HAT stabilizes over the next few weeks around 1.50, it will be a lot better opportunity than if it stabilizes over the next few weeks around 2.50.
