Sold:
DRYS calls @ 2.65 for a 47% gain overnight. I sold early, because this really is going to 80, but my indicators show very overbought, however, overbought is a sign of strength so its always a tug of what to do.
Dryshippers are going nuts today. EXM, TBSI, DRYS, GNK, DSX
Bought:
PBW - Clean energy wilderhill ETF. [...]

Bought:
YGE @ 20.80 had about 3% then it turned into a 2% loss as the market slid. I should’ve taken the trade when I had the gains. The whole solar sector was moving as OIL hit new highs, but solar backed off.
Sold:
YGE @ 20.38 for 2% loss
DRYS @ 71.21 for a 2.4% gain
NDX short @ [...]

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 [...]

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,  [...]

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 [...]

Worked:
Being short. Grabbed the profits this morning. I remained in cash and will look to get long tomorrow morning if the selling continues. Maybe if NDX touches 1765 or so.
CPST - New closing 52 week high today. CPST is a long and strong trender as well.
DAR - Inched higher.
POWI - Bought it today. POWI broke [...]

Sold:
UWM and QLD for gains of more than 6%. There was a big discrepancy between the pricing of UWM and the RUT this morning. Sometimes that price difference normalizes in favor of the RUT and then the UWM would drop. I took the extra gain in the UWM. << semi dumb move. Right now UWM [...]

Worked:
AMAT, VLO, not being in SJT or other oil related stuff. (Crude dropped to 101 today. I said it would trade to 100.)
INTC  - Moved nicely today.
Sucked:
YHOO calls expired worthless…no deal from MS to save me. 100% loss.
CREE - POPPED 9% today! F$CK! Guess what? I bought it back for a different account this morning [...]

INTC - Looks poised to break upwards. - Next few days are critical imo.
The rails are looking up. UNP, BNI, CSX, all have cracked resistance dating back to early February.
HAS - Cracking upwards. I like it even though its a slow mover. I just played some Hungry Hungry Hippos with my son today. Maybe JAKK [...]

Worked:
It was a sweet move cashing out of the longs this morning because the market dumped hard. Saved myself more than a 5% loss. Thats a nice swing for my account.
VLO - Calls. Made 52% overnight from yesterday’s buy and sold it friggin perfectly @ 4.12. VLO was up over 4% earlier then finished down [...]

AEO - American Eagle Outfitters. I liked AEO when it traded on the Nasdaq back under symbol AEOS in December 2005. I like it again. We are basically at the same levels as that time and American Eagle ran up about 300% from my buy point.
RIMM - I love it here. they had ridiculous [...]

MSFT - The stock has moved higher since my buy. MSFT was up 11% afterhours. Thats absolutely insane. However, their earnings were insane so it matched. I bought the MSFT Nov 35s for .16 today, those will likely be up really big tomorrow. To shore up confusion, I own the equity and long call [...]

Nothing has changed yet. I’m not trying to rationalize my position, but go ahead and short if you want.
On the 20th anniversary of the 1987 crash “the market” tanks 2.6% The RUT was the worst with 3.18%. In 1987 they dropped 25%. Today is nothing. Don’t get excited thinking that the we are in [...]

Buying long this morning. The profit was minimal by the time the close rolled around, but profit is profit.  I added to those index longs at the close and it looks like its going to be a good trade based on the way INTC and YHOO are trading afterhours.
My SMH call options are probably going [...]

This should be good for my SMH calls considering Intel is the largest holding for the etf.
I also forgot to mention that I added to the index longs I bought this morning.
