Worked:
Sold: TBSI & JOYG I want to be a buyer of both these names and CAT as they come in if the markets selloff.

Sold:
TBSI @ 34.22 for a 3.6% gain (I thought I saw it breaking down, but it wasn’t the case.) I’m out, wish I didn’t sell, and wish I picked DRYS this time around. My DRYS calls would have doubled now with its 6% move today. What a call.
POWI @ 29.26 for a 3% loss

My index trading which basically consisted of being long, and trimming a little then throwing it back to the long side on a down day was good for around 12%. Maybe more, pain in the butt to calculate at this hour.

CPST - Inched higher. Up 18% on the trade so far. Chart looks amazing.
POWI - [...]

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.

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:

DAR - Inched higher.
POWI - Bought it today. POWI broke [...]
