Sucked:
Not being on board for this:

Essentially my 3-4% loss in AKNS caused me to lose the trade above or something similar.
Worked:
Being long heavy in the NDX and RUT. 3.4% and 3.7% respectively. Out @ 76.88 was in @ 71.44.
GOOG - Took 17% gain on the overnight trade.
JOYG breakout. I sold the breakout to raise cash [...]

Sold:
AKNS @ 7.51 which was a great move considering its down to 7.15 now. Took about a 4% loss on this forced trade. I knew it was bad the moment I bought it.
CPST @ 2.93 for a gain of 10%ish. I don’t like that CPST can’t make head way today on a move like this.

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 [...]

FRPT - It took off shortly after I bought in. Up 4.4% from the buy.
TITN - Ended up closing its gap and going negative, but still have 14% gain and selling a portion up above 20 was smart.
AKNS - Sold appropriately, but I have feeling AKNS could pop or drop big here. It will probably [...]

Well being long the indexes did NOT work today, but two other trades did. BTW the indexes lost 1% against my positions. That sucked for sure so I reduced my exposure today in the indexes at the close.
TITN - Continued its breakout today and saw some nice volume near the close. Up 15% on the position.

Churnfest 2008 here.

Being long. The indexes put in a huge day. 4%+ for both the RUT and NDX. Big day for my accounts for sure.
