U can still exit that. U will make that up somewhere else or take a chance and wait for tomoorow. There will be bounce back for sure

I was playing with my 6 year old son and on my etrade app. Thought I put in 100 and it executed at 1000  

I'm down big as I bought lots more yesterday at $51. But hey at least my monthly dividend will go up lol

I have made the mistake to go too heavy on XOM even when @fenders53 warned me , lol. Thinking oil is too cheap anything can happen. In a hindsight I should have followed the rules of diversification and played by the book.

We all make plenty of mistakes.  I got scorched enough on oil too.  I kept most of it far too long  Selling at a loss is not a good habit to get into, but it's been clear for a few weeks this isn't getting better soon.  I would have been OK until the dividend was in danger.  Why the hell would I buy it otherwise because they haven't grown for 20 years.  I am going to try to keep all my commodity trading small.  There are just too many things beyond the scope of any research you can possibly do   Flushing $1000 trying to roll a 7 is one thing.  500+ shares is just too much for me to gamble.
