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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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.

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 [...]

Getting that upwards action I’ve been talking about for the last two weeks. Breaks of 720 in the RUT, breaks of 1400 SPX, DOW 13000 now. I’m long the indexes NDX and RUT and today is a big day or both and looks like there might be more up heading into the close. I may [...]

DRYS calls @ 2.65 for a 47% gain overnight. I sold early, because this really is going to 80, but my indicators show very overbought, however, overbought is a sign of strength so its always a tug of what to do.
Dryshippers are going nuts today. EXM, TBSI, DRYS, GNK, DSX
Bought:
PBW - Clean energy wilderhill ETF. [...]
