RUT gave me 3.2% today while the SPX gave me a mild 1/2% gain.
FXP and SRS both didn’t yield any gains for me today, in fact SRS pulled back.
I bought TWM early this morning. When the market rallied midday I was down on that trade around 2%, however, the market sold off again, making the [...]

The money I threw into the index longs yesterday was removed this morning for a decent gain. When the 3:55 started rolling around, I went back in with the cash I took off the table from the morning trade. I’m back into the NDX and RUT heavily. I’m not expecting fireworks tomorrow, but next week [...]

JOYG, CPST, DRYS, GU, EDEN, EWZ, DRQ, CAT, KOL.
Of these stocks which ones do I still own?
CPST (can’t complain about that).
EDEN (can’t complain about this one about to break out).
EWZ (bought it back yesterday, was too depressed to post yesterday about it after seeing DRYS bust 100).
So why I am upset about DRYS going above [...]

Bought calls in YGE and TSO today. The May YGE 30 and 25 strikes saw unusual volume (the puts did as well, but not nearly as much action), I decided to go risky and go with the May 30s. For TSO I went with the June 25 calls there. YGE reports tomorrow. I haven’t had [...]

MSFT - Options looked great had 35% in the bag. Decided to hang on. MISTAKE.
QQQQ - Call options were rocking. At least I trimmed some of the gains, but I plan on holding on through next week maybe up into expiration. I see new highs a coming.
Being long the indexes worked. My index trading account [...]

Posting this 2am my time. Such dedication.
Worked:
CPST broke the 3 dollar level. Closed up around that range. New 52 week high. I profiled CPST on Dec 8th 2007 as a breakout candidate when it was trading at $1.35 at Clean Green Stocks.
If you been following my trading of it here, I’ve been in and out [...]

Bought:
AKNS @ 7.88 a little bit of a rushed trade. I should’ve saved the powder, but Solars were and are running today, but AKNS was not. I figured it might play catch up as its daily chart looks great.
CPST and DAR both smoking higher to new 52 week highs.
Sold:
I didn’t do it, but I got stopped out [...]

Worked:

DRYS option calls good for 47% overnight.

GILD had great earnings, but no AH action yet.
Sucked:
Not being heavily long in the indexes. To be fair it was very unclear to me [...]

Long ideas:
Solars: STP, ESLR, DSTI, HOKU. As crude rises, solar should rock and roll.
ETFs: EEM, SSO, QLD - Long the market now and want to get more long.
Semis/Tech: WDC, KLAC, ONNN, TXN - Semis turning around here, there are more semis that haven’t been made that could run here.
Oil/Gas: DRQ (Which looks fookn outstanding here), [...]

Bought:
YGE @ 20.80 had about 3% then it turned into a 2% loss as the market slid. I should’ve taken the trade when I had the gains. The whole solar sector was moving as OIL hit new highs, but solar backed off.
Sold:
YGE @ 20.38 for 2% loss
DRYS @ 71.21 for a 2.4% gain
NDX short @ [...]

Market has rebounded from its morning malaise. I took alot of my index longs to cash this morning to preserve the greater than 10% gains in them, however, right now I’m missing out on some really nice upside in the RUT and NDX. I still have some longs in the indexes though so its not [...]

Being long. The indexes put in a huge day. 4%+ for both the RUT and NDX. Big day for my accounts for sure.
AMAT - Nice move there too. I sold early even with the 150% gain, but the trade was a good trade regardless. The calls finished up around 350% as AMAT closed at the [...]
