lol.. although cramer disagrees

Do the opposite of what cramer says and you'll come out better. Or at least the same.

No surprise. If you saw their filing you would have known this would happen last Friday. The reason it's happening so fast is because of Ackman, which is nice only if you're a day trader type.

IMO:
Vodka stock up; Russian airlines down.
Jan K. from Ukraine's What's App up, MTS Mobile Ukraine, down.
Russian hotels up; Ukraine currency ("hryvnia"), down.
Energy/gas up; Ukraine manufacturing stocks, down.

Glad you appreciated.. Someone asked the question. So someone had to answer -- i'll still meet my 5pm Mon. deadline somehow...
Will watch the markets in the am. It will already be pm in Ukraine.
My friend lives in Zhitomer. I see that Crimea and all the current Russian activity is closer to the Black Sea. The US markets probably won't do much in response tomorrow... It's a big power show. We'll see how the week goes, overall.

General question:
Do you find it harder to make the decision to buy or sell?

it's very easy to buy a Stock, the hard thing is knowing when to sell...

especially if you're not ahead. Easy to sell when you make 200%. Hard to sell if you've lost 15%, because you think you'll make it back.
Or at least break even. Sometimes it's smartest to cut your losses at 15% and thereby prevent a 40%+ loss...
