Lopez, the numbers all look good but my confidence is battered!

I tried hard hard hard to write puts @ $8 on this company when the shares were hovering around $7.50 and I thought this was a bargain.

Lucky for me that the market maker was tight and busy holidaying, or I'd be buying FLT in two weeks for about $6.50 when I can buy them today @ < $4.

And I still dont know where my research is flawed - hence my battered confidence.

I posted a little something philosophical that I think I need to take on board at such times - Ill repost it here because its relevant to my state of mind:

"We are used to exuberant times - in exuberant times one becomes accusotmed to fewer opportunities, and consequently, when rare opportunities present themselves, one feels that they must act promptly, or miss the chance.
When exuberant times are over - it becomes apparent that the rewards for patience far outweigh the rewards for bold action.

Perhaps I should exercise patience, as my boldness is presently making me doubt what I know.. and I know I know what I know!"
