Jan '08' trades so far....

Its been a while since my last post. It been really crazy lately. I have made about 8 trades maybe, a few winners and a few losers. I am currently "trapped" in a 2 losers now which have me down about 9k. This really upsets me, I have been thinking of quiting all together. It is so F-ing frustrating when a stock gets murdered just cause some idiot comes out and says something stupid (the fed). I feel that AAPL and MA (and me) are being wrongfully taken to the wood shed.
