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 [...]

Afterhours all three of these companies reported earnings and it looks are going to cause a nice drop tomorrow morning. This is good for me since I added to my shorts. I wish I didn’t get rid of the intraday QID position today.
I forgot to mention that I dumped PWAV taking about a 1% gain [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 DSTI @ 3.78, HOKU @ 9.32, CTDC @ 5.83, FRPT @ 4.34
Sold most of my IBKR @ 31.6 taking a 3% or so loss on that portion, RIMM @ 98.48 good for 12%
I thought Solar stocks would see more action today based on WFR.
Interested in: AEO, ARO, URBN, BA, CROX, ACI, JOYG, CLF, BCS, [...]

In what could have been the easiest trade to make (my funds were tied up and unsettled) RIMM takes off afterhours on what I think are great earnings. No, better than great.
BTW have you seen how CCJ, IBKR, VLO, ACI, ORCL, MRO, JRCC, AMTD, etc…since the watchlist was created?

Staying long. I didn’t panic when we broke the 200dma’s on the indexes. No. Stayed strong and held on. 4% bounce today in the RUT and about 1% in the NDX.
ORCL is on my watchlist as an earnings play so I bought some ORCL Jan 22.5 calls near the close @ .50. There was very [...]

Sold Kong @ 6.77 taking a 4% gain. If by some chance KONG closes around around 6.46 I’ll be a buyer again. If not, I might just wait till Friday. Good thing its on the list on the right hand side.
CLF, IBKR, VLO, ACI, and AMTD all green this morning.
