Being long. Yesterday was a disaster in the market, and I was long. I couldn’t post because I’m on vacation and don’t have ready access to internet access. I saw what happened today. It looks like the bottoming process has definitely started. We should get a second up day tomorrow. We haven’t seen two in [...]

Sold AZK in a different account. The first sell was in my retirement account, this one is in a trading account. Took a 6.3% gain in AZK and a 6.5% gain in QTM.
Bought some EMC and will look to buy more.

Being long the indexes. Nailed close to 3% today. Overall today was a big day.
CEDC - I loaded up on call options yesterday and the day before. I sold today with nice gains, however, eventually CEDC got to my target price and then went even higher. CEDC closed up over 5% and went as high [...]

All my stocks in one portfolio were down today except VSCI.
GLOB, KTOS, GBT, AZK, QTM, ORCH, SVA
CHTR, JOEZ, BWLRF, EGI, TBUS
RIC, UVE
Overpaying for the CUVKK calls. However, the earnings report was great those options should pop tomorrow when CEDC does their conference call. I love that they deferred till tomorrow. Can’t wait to see what [...]

Being long the NDX. I got hit for a 2.4% loss today there. However, it looks like with MSFT afterhours the NDX will likely pop big in the morning giving me all the loss back. I also doubled that NDX position up at the close so if the NDX does 1% at the morning window, [...]

Sold the overnight QTM trade from last night for a 2% loss. Now looking for something else.

Missing out on CYD - China Yuchai - when I had it in my grasp a few days ago. I almost bought it today when it was up only 13% on the day - closed up 18% by the close. News was that they got a new CFO because their old one sucked.
So far the [...]

QTM reports tonight. I don’t know whats going to happen, but I’m taking a shot with majority of capital from my IRA in QTM tonight. If it turns out to be a winning trade I’ll scale it back a bit, but keep a position on.

Being long (just for the morning action). Even though the NDX closed higher than my 10:45 window, the RUT closed lower by 4pm so the combination of the two indexes yielded more profit for me in the morning than at 4pm. That was a good trade worth about 1.5%.
CBST - Had good earnings after the [...]

I cashed my index longs good for about 1.5% this morning. NDX up .95%x2 = 1.9%, RUT up .45%x2 = .9%
QTM and KTOS doing well today. GBT giving a little back after its 30%+ jump yesterday.

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 [...]

I think the big drop in the NZ dollar was the reason for the decline in HSVLY. Gains of > 20% deteriorated rapidly on the positions I had left open down to 4.5% gains.

My “Basket #1″ up over 27% since the buy a few weeks ago.
QTM - Had a nice pop into the close. Moved up to 4 bucks. With the pop AH I’m up 23%. On the more recent adds of QTM thats about 7-8% up probably at the open tomorrow.
AZK - Broke out today to new [...]

Being long. The indexes still continue higher. The NDX had a late run that bumped up to new highs. I cashed out Friday morning, but went back in Friday afternoon with the SPX and NDX. The spread between the two was .32%. Nothing great, but still a gain.
ABAT - Turning into GBT tomorrow, ROCKING. Up [...]
