Being long overnight and selling out in the morning. Whew….was that lucky. I was getting pissed that I missed another boat, but it ended up being a good trade. I sold my index funds in the morning and captured 1.4% gain. I also bought into weakness today and went long heavy. Bernanke is speaking tomorrow [...]

Being long. Not listening to noise. I went on a little tirade yesterday about noise and how it affects trading. From alot of what I was reading, people were expecting fire and brimstone today and for the market to drop, not breakout to new highs. I was very confident this wasn’t the case. If they [...]

Happy Monday. Being short worked again today. I held my Friday shorts and they were working out nicely until the big rally that happened around 2pm screwed it up. Thankfully the market then fell after filling its morning gap on every major index.
NDX 2x inverse funds lost very fractionally while the Russell 2000 2x inverse [...]

Being short. Cleared more than 4% on the index funds and TWM positions today. A very nice day indeed. I held onto shorts expecting more downside in the near term. The following charts demonstrate why I think so.

I don’t think many people see the falling wedge pattern developing yet. The wedge intersects somewhere late November, [...]

Being long. Index funds took a hit, but it was on smaller money. I added to that position today at the close big time…I’m anticipating a bounce and thats all I’m playing for.
RUT - The RUT got spanked again…badly. It has fallen out of favor. The NDX/Nasdaq were the strongest today and I think that [...]

You would thinkg that nothing worked today based on my posts all day. You would be wrong. Remember I was long the index funds. Yes I was riding the train to all time highs in the dow, russell 2000, and new highs in the NDX and COMPX. My index fund trading account is at an [...]

Being long. The index funds churned out about 1% today. I’m still there.
HSKA - Bounced a little bit today.
What Didn’t Work Today
My home builder lottery option trades are slowing going down the tubes…
MDT call options are also dwindling. I’m considering sucking it up and taking the loss there which stands at 60%.
What Will Hopefully Work [...]

Nothing, but EBAY really.
My BZH calls took a big hit. This is a lottery ticket trade so I’m already counting it as a loss. I then got stupid and tried something special. I bought KBH July calls hoping for a short squeeze this month. These are really lottery ticket options and again already chalked [...]

PAE - Got into this one today at 2.44 and after hours its up to 2.68 on a good earnings number. A quick 9.8%.
WZEN - I [...]

Being long. Yeh it feels good when you are fully invested and the market roars to new highs. It was a huge day and I’m happy I was on the right side.  The index funds did 3.9-4% gains today.
NDX call options - Took a 60% gain selling out at 20. “I notoriously sell early so [...]

Being long. I went long with index funds this morning and it worked out for about 1%.
NDX Calls - I basically got into these really quick in the last 20 minutes or so of trading and the NDX shot up near the close basically giving me a quick 18%. Sweet! My other option trades are [...]

Being long - sort of? The index funds and QLD did turn a profit despite the last hour selloff today. I’m talking as if I sold out of my longs. I did. I’m in complete cash. I hold no positions in any of my accounts right now. 100% cash across all accounts.
MRVL - I got [...]

Selling my puts before the market took off. I gained 35%. Once again I miscalculated before I posted. These options move fast and by the time my order executed they ticked off about 2 pennies which is significant.
Either way good trade. I had some flops today as well. Losing 14% on a intraday try.
My index [...]
