I woke up this morning around 10am. Sometimes I skip the open, today was one. I looked at ESLR and see it down -7.5% and I said, “F$%k!” Dumped it and saved myself an extra 2% hit because it dropped 9.5% at the close. Only thing that sucked today.
The market indexes rocked though and I [...]

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.

Worked:
CPST, YGE, LDK, POWI, DRYS [...]

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 [...]
