Made my first premarket purchase

Today I tried something a little different in that I purchased a stock in the pre-market before the market officially opened. ATML reported earnings yesterday after the market closed and it was a very good report. I tried to buy a position in ATML in the PM market but to no avail. Then this morning I placed an order in the AM session and I got in. I purchased ATML at $15.40 and then when the market opened, it ran to $16.80 before closing the day at $16.10. It was nice to finally get in before the run and it was nice to catch the breakout.

Unfortunately the market did a little pull back today and it was the first negative day in the past 5 days. Can’t run uphill everyday.

$0 realized profit today. AVG = $0 a day. Personal goal = $50 a day.  7 of 19 trading days for February complete.
