I got hit today by a UPS truck turning left. Losing 6%+ in the RUT and NDX. That bit.
Still holding VLO, FRPT (holding a 4% gain) and some NDX looking for a bounce 1-2 day bounce. After that I’m going short.
I bought NTWK today. I sold RT and BBY today for breakeven.

No more index longs, no long etf’s, no AMZN. Its all in cash. Sold out this morning. At the morning Rydex window the Rut was up more than 1.2% and NDX was flat. So basically earned some cash back off this bad long trade I’ve been sitting in.
Stocks I still own though and all are [...]

Restaurants, Homebuilders, and FRPT exploding upwards today with the general indexes.
I bought RT back this morning, FRPT I have already built a decent position in ahead of this breakout, and the homebuilders I profiled last week for you.
Picked up some SSO to added to my already overloaded longs as well.

The market. 4% in the RUT and 1.5% in the NDX. It looks like Dell doesn’t look too hot AH and that might have an effect on the morning open.
FRPT - Rocked today, until after hours they mentioned they are restating a quarter from 2007. BS there, but this is what happens in these POS [...]

I sold SOLF. I can’t wait around anymore. Took a 9% loss overnight. That bites, but its time to move on. Its definitely a value stock, and one if I wasn’t so “want gains now” minded I would hold on, but then I wouldn’t have any capability to buy crap that is actually moving. As [...]

The market just flat out tanked today. It was on low volume, it was on news that seemed to be old.
I got hit with losses of around 4.6% in the RUT and 4% in the NDX. Ughhhh what a way to start off the week. I’ll tell you what though I’m still long, but am [...]

What have I been saying for 2 weeks?
Hint:
B _ _ _ h _ W _ a _ n _ s s!
What caused the rally today? Was it Buffett this morning? Was it Bernanke? Was it bullshit? Yes the answer is bullshit, because neither of the two stories the financial [...]

No. I’ll see what happens this week, react, and make money. I added to my long position today. I didn’t post yesterday due to the happenings of Tropical Dud, Fay. I sold MATK yesterday with a loss of a few %. I did this as shot to buy a firework related play and its a [...]

I was early with the short call last week, because today folks - its here. This is what I was trying to short for. However, now the market has puled back enough that I’m buying. I’ve bought the indexes this morning. You know ABC, from Glengary Glen Ross? Always Be Closing? I’m AFE. Always Fu$kn [...]

I’m addicted to this short. I put it back on. I’m looking for the market to close in the red tomorrow. Today shocked me a little bit, but my individual stocks have done ok in this up move.
I actually mentioned on the morning posts when I sold out of my short (which happened to be [...]

It may bite me in the ass, but I’m waiting to get long. Till Friday to see if either tomorrow or Friday provides a down day that will make my shorts profitable. I’m bullish intermediate term, so I’m playing a high risk, arguably, low reward trade here. However, I still have confidence that it will [...]

Market is moving my way again - down. I added to shorts this morning in the index funds, bringing my “medium” position up to “heavy.” However, I did not purchase more ETF’s due to me being away from the computer playing Wii with my son. I do have the TWM position already from yesterday. I [...]

It wasn’t a good trade, but it was a nice profit. EFU is breaking out and I sold into the breakout like a shmuck. I think its going a lot higher, but I have the patience of a hamster on viagra. I may buy it back. However, I’m still holding my watchlist picks of HOGS, [...]

I’ve been saying it for days now, that I want to buy weakness in the market for a long trade and therefore I went short with expectations of weakness to happen. That started to happen today. The RUT finished down .81% or 1.6% if your a double head. The NDX finished flat - booo.
Things that [...]

I mentioned yesterday that I went short with a “medium” position. This morning I’ve added to the index funds in the RUT only. I also bought TWM and EFU (2x inverse MSCI etf). The EFU is a play on the strengthening dollar. If the US dollar strengthens, the emerging markets will go down. The weak [...]
