Bookkeeping: Covered Texas Instruments (TXN) Short in Error
After the bell I realized I lost my Texas Instruments (TXN) short in error. Yesterday I shorted a 2nd half of the position that I had covered for a gain the previous Friday. This brought my cost basis up to around $24.15. Unfortunately rather than putting a stop loss to cover at $24.60 I put a limit order in to cover at that price and obviously it was sold... in the $24.40s. Not a huge dollar loss or anything but just putting it out there for transparency sake since I might go right back to shorting it.
