Being long. I held my index longs overnight from yesterday thinking maybe CSCO would help out. When CSCO reported they basically took the biggest dump in several years. I think 12% drop over 2 days - 9% or so today. I had CSCO calls as well that are basically worthless now. So that sucked too.
The [...]

Sold AEN today, took 20% loss.

I picked up a very small amount of VSCI for my IRA at 2.30. Its breaking out today - potential new 2 year closing high. I hold it in one of my baskets already, but wanted some of this spec in my retirement account.

I purchased some BMR and HCN for my IRA today. I’m buying them for their dividends and value. I’ve owned them before, but sold out before they dropped enough to cause damage to my accounts. Promethyl actually made a good call saying he would short it instead of buy at that time.

Since I took everything to cash not too long ago, I’ve been itching to get my IRA filled up again.
I bought ADM at 35.9. ADM is a favorite of mine.
and EBAY at  33.21.
I’ve been a staunch hater of EBAY (not here) years ago, but I think the internet sector is about to take off and [...]

I took a 50%+ gain in half of my ONT position in 5 days. I can’t let that kind of gain slip away. Plus its tax free since its in my IRA. Instead of selling the whole lot like I did on the last run, this time I held on to some. I’ll look to [...]

TMED had some kind [...]

Being long. Market went against me again today and the index funds got hit again today.
The calls I bought this morning that were actually up as much as 4%, are down big tonight. I didn’t cover because I missed where I should’ve covered and now I’m letting em ride. They are June QQQQ calls so [...]

I sold ZL in my IRA. The stock will go higher, but its too slow. UCTT has a better value profile and an old favorite of mine. Do a search if you’re interested. I had a tough time deciding between TMTI and UCTT, but went with UCTT because the volume is better and I know [...]

ONT - Once again, ONT had a big day - 13%. I’m up 17% in the trading account and 15% in my IRA on these ONT positions bought last Friday.
Here is another chart of ONT last hour action. Again, only one negative volume bar in the last hour.

KRY - When I sold half my position, [...]

I sold the BMR position for no gain/little loss for a position in URRE. My beloved Uranium stock. This was for my retirement account. I wish I had purchased HCN instead of BMR though originally as they reported a great number. The bottom line is that I need some Uranium exposure in my IRA as [...]

I bought Western Union for my IRA today. WU.

Well I don’t have BWLRF in my IRA anymore.
I have bought since last posting AVCA and today I added NXXI.
NXXI looks like its about to take off. I have been in and out of NXXI going back to beginnings of this site. However, I haven’t always posted about it.
I think ADM and UNH would be [...]
