I bought the market today heavily. I bought UWM, QLD, and QLD October 49 calls (bought them early and I bought the strike I didn’t want). I bought the calls in a frenzy lining up other trades and realized I got the strike I didn’t want, but I’m sure its going to be fine because [...]

I was in cash heading into this morning’s nice up move. I went short with the index funds as the market rose and sold those AAPL and RIMM calls for nice gains today as those two stocks popped. I added to those short positions at the end of the day. You know there is talk [...]

I sold my AAPL and RIMM calls into the strength this morning for a gain of 20% in the RIMM calls and a gain of around 12% in the AAPL calls. AAPL is acting squirrelly, but I still expect AAPL to close around that 10:00 am bar of around 152.15. For all you Apple Heads, [...]

Well the shorts worked out great today. The RUT was good for 7%, and the NDX was for 4.7%. I like to eat whoppers and we got one in the market today.
Yesterday I posted about selling out of the ETF’s, I didn’t exactly sell everything. I had a small QID position as well as a [...]

Worked:
YGE - Caught it on the breakout and it ran all day. I sold more than half of my position today to lock in the gains @ 20.33 or 11%. The other half that I still hold is up about 10%.
CPST - Inched higher. Up 18% on the trade so far. Chart looks amazing.
POWI - [...]

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:
The QID short, the UWM trade,  AMAT upped a little more, DAR was up almost 2%.
Sucked:
Being long the indexes and NOT taking the gains this morning when the market popped. Grumble… I cashed out those index longs eating the loss of 2% in the RUT and less than 1% in the NDX. Might have been [...]

Covered the QID short this morning @ 53.29 for a gain of 3.5%
Bought UWM @ 45.82 around 10:40 before the market popped. Then sold UWM @ 47 flat at the 11:20 bar for a very fast 2.5% gain. Which at this point was a perfect sell. However, I attribute it more to me having to [...]

Sucked:
Not being long for today’s move when I’ve been trying to go long every other day. Believe me I’m pissed off about it, but this one is my fault, I fell pray to listening to some noise that we are going to crash. Noise strikes again.
Worked:
Shorting QID - Up over 2%. I got short the [...]

Being long. The NDX rolled up nicely today playing catchup.
Its been a nice bounce and it looks like we’re going to get at least another day with MSFT crushing the earnings report.
I talked about it yesterday: “MSFT - Still got it, up meagerly. MSFT reports tomorrow after the bell. I’ll be looking at buying call [...]

What a friggin day today was. I thought it was going to turn into a sucks post, but I was right. Today was an excellent reversal day. Dow down 300, NDX down 5%+, at one point today only to close up Dow +299, and NDX down only .34%.
I went long the indexes on Friday and [...]

QLD - Went long the QLD when the NDX opened DOWN 5.3%. That was a big down open and one of the bigger ones I’ve ever seen. I made a small profit on the buy in and I sold out a couple bucks later.
RIMM - Worked well today, but AAPL is going to make this [...]

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 [...]
