Wow the RUT was curiously strong today….my RUT short got spanked for -5.5% today while the NDX although was looking at a 3% gain this morning turned into a flat pancake by the close. A very strong move came into the close and who knows why? IMO, we didn’t move up enough last week to [...]

Took 30%ish or more on the ACI and BTU calls. Very nice 1 day bounce there.
Still holding the CVX calls, but considering dumping those taking the small loss and being happy with the big gains in the coal stocks.
Went short with QID and upped my index fund short position this morning. Just sold QID though [...]

RUT gave us longs 7.36% with the UWM giving out even more @ 7.73%. The NDX gave us 5% while the QLD gave out 4.78%.
If you’re new to my site, I’ve been long since Friday.
Today I trimmed back my index longs in the mutual funds (because the timing I have to trade them is only [...]

NDX closed up .02% so .04% for the double funds….WOOT! Thats good for some gum from the penny machines at the grocery store. While the good ole RUT is well stuck in a RUT. Closed down .64% for me.
It looked like the move was going to start today, but alas a late day selloff ruined [...]

The market was all over the friggin place. Who is ready to give up and go home? Thats a good sign if you are. Up and down all day with a big rally that happened at 3:25 then a big sell off at about 3:45. When the VIX gets up to these levels the moves [...]

I did what I said I was going to do. Went heavily long the leveraged funds for the indexes NDX and RUT. I also bought the leveraged ETF’s UWM and QLD. Outside of that I also have my ICE call options. There is going to be some sick option activity next week. This long trade [...]

I took a quick short this morning on ACI by buying the July 65 puts. Which was a nice 19.6% gain in a matter of 15minutes.
I also bought QID rather large. I was up as much as 2% as the gapped up market SOLD off…then I got stuck wasn’t watching the screens, and the wild [...]

Out of HYGS at 1.88 for 24% gain.
I will revisit HYGS again I’m sure.
Sold my DDM this morning for very little gain. I also sold TBSI when it was down earlier and took a small gain of 1.8% <– that was a dumb mistake.

At the trading close I went long the Dow with 2x etf DDM. In @ 60.70
Today an oversold signal that I use showed up today for the Dow. I took a shot at a one day trade. When the Dow turns green either Monday or Tuesday (and should close in the green) I’ll unload and [...]

NDX and RUT both dropped today for a decent return of 1.6% in the double funds.
SRS - Cooperated and gave me a 4.17% pop today. Nice breakout there.
FXP - Didn’t participate even though FXI was down today. It did a little pullback, but the charts still are saying buy, which means sell for the FXI.
CPST [...]

My new idea got me into ISIS around 14.63 today. Looking for prices above 15, maybe 15.60ish if I’m lucky.
Bought UWM @ 53.43. The way these 2x etf’s price sometimes is so f’d up. RUT was down to 730 when I bought UWM and now RUT is 731 and the UWM is 53.36.
The market looks [...]

I didn’t get to make a post yesterday due to a debilitating migraine.
What I did yesterday:
Remained in cash from yesterday’s morning sell.
I bought more CROX Jun 10 calls.
Today:
Bought UWM, went long the indexes this morning, sold most of the index positions this afternoon and will look to buy in heavily on a down open. I’m [...]

I bought the weakness we saw eod yesterday and sold into strength this morning. However, I only sold the piece I bought yesterday locking in this morning’s 2% gain on the RUT and a little less on the NDX.
Looking to buy todays stale day as well.

Everything was working today.
CPST broke out today on very big volume to another record 52 week high. If you’ve been reading SR since September of 2007 you know I like this stock.

The indexes had a great day today. 3.6% for the RUT and another 3.6%ish for the NDX. Nice.
My QQQQ calls which had their premium [...]
