Looks like TMA is in more trouble than anybody expected. Margin calls have put into question TMA's stability over the next several months. As a relatively simple investor the dynamics of of the problems in this company are outside of my knowledge zone so I resorted to a simple 25% stop loss on this one. Ugh, my timing sucked.

TMA: This call was made on 03/02/08 @ $5.29

Rating:	$5.29 (03/02/08)
Closed:	04/01/2008 @ $1.3799 (+73.91% in 30 days)
Target:	$8.75 (+65.41%) in < two weeks
