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 [...]

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.
Day [...]

Worked:
Being long the NDX and RUT for a 6% gain.
DRYS option calls good for 47% overnight.
CPST, JOYG, DAR, KOL all moved higher. These 4 are either at or above 52 week highs.
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 [...]

Sucked:
Selling the index longs at a loss then the market closes up on a mild rally. RUT was actually strong.
Midday Update not being posted for some reason.
Worked:
DRYS calls. Up 11% since the buy this morning. I love DRYS above 70 and JOYG above 70 and lets talk about CAT again around 75-76 range.
DRQ - I’m [...]

Worked:
Being short the RUT until the close. Banked 4% on that trade which was very nice. I swapped it to the long side today at the close though, heavily.
The NDX morning cashout was good for 1.5%ish gain.
DRYS - Took 2% gain while it was there early, before it dropped
Sucked:
All the different trades, JOYG, CPST, DAR, [...]

Position Update:
Owning: TITN, CAT, DAR, AMAT, GILD
Worked:
Sold: TBSI & JOYG I want to be a buyer of both these names and CAT as they come in if the markets selloff.
TITN up 2% from the buy today.
Index long funds were taken to cash this morning. I’m a buyer of weakness, so if we selloff tomorrow morning [...]

Last week was a great trading week. Almost everything was profitable.
My index trading which basically consisted of being long, and trimming a little then throwing it back to the long side on a down day was good for around 12%. Maybe more, pain in the butt to calculate at this hour.
Worked:
CPST, YGE, LDK, POWI, DRYS [...]

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 [...]

Yesterdays post is dated incorrectly.
Worked:
YGE - I sold out of YGE today completely for a 21% gain.
CPST - I sold half my CPST this morning @ 2.4 and the other half 2.44 for total gain of 20.7%.
INTC - I really have no patience for this stock. Its still good, but I dropped it today for [...]

• Comments

Worked:
YGE - Caught it on the breakout and it ran all day. I sold more than half of my position today to lock in the gains @ 20.33 or 11%. The other half that I still hold is up about 10%.
CPST - Inched higher. Up 18% on the trade so far. Chart looks amazing.
POWI - [...]

More like a late day update. Did a couple of trades today.
Bought:
YGE @ 18.04, 18.50 up about 6% from the buy point.
LDK @ 28.56 up 3.5% from the buy point.
DAR @ 12.58
The CAT sell yesterday was a good call. Its down 2% today. I want to wait at least one more day to buy it [...]

I’ve mentioned I’m in the middle of a kitchen remodel? If not, I am and its having an effect on my memory lately and my concentration hasn’t been on the market as much.
Worked:
Forgot to mention that I went lightly long the NDX this morning. Made money on that trade of around 1%.
CAT, INTC, GILD, CPST,  [...]

Sold:
ABAT - From the WTF?! department. I guess that move in ABAT on Friday was short covering before earnings. ABAT completely reversed and dropped large this morning. I got out with a 13% loss. Out @ 4.10. Crap trade.
VLO - Sold out of the remaining shares because its just not acting well. Took a 1% [...]

This post is for Friday’s trading action of March 28th, but this is being posted on March 29th.
Worked:
Not jumping in this morning as the market was up about 1-2%. I said if we gapped down or the market saw morning weakness I would be a buyer. The smart thing was not taking the trade regardless [...]
