Profit: <16.3>% loss over a 155 elapsed day trade.

With an assumed trading overhead of 14 days out of the market, this allows for 2 such trades in a year.
Bad trade - unhappy.     >:(

Many stocks have been trading sideways for the last few months. Way too long in the market, taking a reduced loss while the change was there.
( Time is money, time to get out ).

This the first negative transaction closed out during this years batch of trades.
