The market decided to slap bears around today and I got caught on the wrong side - 6% hit. I also took my losses in all the ETFs I mentioned earlier today about 6% as well there. I made 7.6% on TNA early this morning.

Here is a chart I posted on September 10th. Did I know RIMM was going to go down? Yes. Did I personally benefit from what I derived from the technical picture? No. Did you?

RIMM’s massive monthly support appears to be 34.21. There might be a bounce there. If there is no bounce on RIMM at [...]

I know it sounds fucking ridiculous, but I knew when I got trapped in the long trade, that it was going to be one I’d have to wait out quite awhile. I’m ok with that.
I’ve been making the mistake of diddling around with these little stocks all on the long side. However, there has been [...]

With sentiment indicators off the chart that at any other point in time would have produced an epic short squeeze, everyone and everything I’ve read is and was predicting a crash today and/or Monday.
Everyone everywhere online is expecting this now. They are piling into shorts even here where the  indexes, inverse ETFs, the VIX an [...]

Out of QLD @ 43.43; gain of 36%

When the rally kicks back [...]

I bought the market today heavily. I bought UWM, QLD, and QLD October 49 calls (bought them early and I bought the strike I didn’t want). I bought the calls in a frenzy lining up other trades and realized I got the strike I didn’t want, but I’m sure its going to be fine because [...]

I posted about being in the inverse etfs FXP and SDS, but I didn’t post that I took medium sized short trade at the Rydex 10:45 window in the inverse spx, inverse ndx, and inverse rut funds. It was an ultra risky play considering the NDX was already down 6% at that time. I was [...]

I sold my index shorts this morning taking the loss and walking away. This morning’s upmove just shows there is probably a larger down move brewing in the not too distant future (October). I may have gotten out early and we could close flat, but we’ll see. The position I had on was roughly a [...]

Wild morning so far. I sold all my inverse etfs on the market gap down. A very sweet trade for 2 days worth of holding. I also trimmed back my index funds at this mornings window significantly. I am now lightly short…very lite.
TWM in @ 70.88 out @ 77.11 = 8.7%
SKF in @ 119.86 out [...]

I bought UWM and QLD at the lows of the morning which puts the UWM down about 1.5% and QLD down less than .50%. I went into the ETFs heavily this morning, but not the funds which is where I trade the big bucks.
A couple of other things sucked too.
SNTS position went from being positive [...]

I added to my shorts this morning early on and so far its paying off. I went in heavily with the usual suspects of TWM and QID. My GG calls are up 22% right now as well. I sold my GLD though this morning thinking we weren’t going to get a market selloff. Took a [...]

These are often called inverse etfs or funds. They are a way to long an etf that performs opposite or inverse the performance of particular etf.
Single Beta Inverse ETFs
EUM - This is a single beta short ETF of the MSCI Emerging Markets index. If EEB closes up 1%, EUM will be down 1%.
EFZ - This [...]

Not really anything related to what I do here, but I saw Becky Quick ask the BVLGARI CEO about their new store opening in Japan. “Why Ginza?“, Quick says. The BVLGARI CEO smirked and kinda laughed then explained that anyone who is anyone in fine goods has to be in Ginza as it is the [...]

So you’re tired of always being long and want to short the market?
How do you do it without borrowing shares? Easily. You buy the appropriate vehicles long. Which is actually a bet that the market will go down. Let me explain. There are investment options that you can buy long that represent an investment that [...]

UVE - Bought more of this little growth/insurance stock this morning. I’m buying within overbought territory though.
Divy of 4.9%
Quarterly Revenue Growth: 490.40%
Quarterly Earnings Growth: 789.40%
Keep this one quiet please I’m not done accumulating :). I was buying it when it was on the Bulletin Board as UVIH earlier this year in the $3 range.
QMAR - [...]
