Huge drop today yielded one of the better days of the year for myself and other shorts. Many trades worked really well today. However, I would point out one poor decision of cutting my index shorts this morning because the market dropped lower and closed on its lows. One could say that I shouldn’t complain [...]

As usual one of the stocks I’ve been stalking/owned breaks out today. I’ve been in and out of ABAT over the last month or so and before my patience gives in or another stock grabs my attention first like DAR or CPST and I let it go. Well today we get the break I was [...]

Being long the indexes. I’m glad the bounce happened because I was getting worried there for a minute. Not to say we couldn’t pullback next week more, but it looked like we may have bottomed for the year….possibly….I hope. COMPX tested the breakout level I mentioned the other when I posted that chart. The trade [...]

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 [...]

Being Long? Although the indexes closed slightly down, but mostly flat, I did exit out of my QQQQ calls for a hefty profit. This has offset the (currently) 41% loss in my MRVL August 17.5 calls. MRVL better start moving. I’m guessing I have to wait till next when the guts of the iPhone are [...]

Being long. Making a little bit more today as some indexes extended their moves. The NDX and R2K were stronger today as the Dow and SPX take breathers from the recent leading position. I’m still long looking for the week to close out strong.
DEPO - Down a little bit today.
NEXM - Up a little today.
JMBA [...]

ONT - Made a killing in this stock since 5-11. Now 5 trading days later. First hit was for 50% and the other was a 32% gain.

Original buy posting, first sale, second sale.
NEXM - A nice 10% move was good for me. I think the stock is going higher, so I want to buy back [...]

Being Long. I sold out of index funds this morning for a 1% gain. I forgot to post that.
ZL - Moving higher. Chart getting better.
BUF - Closed higher today.
CHTR - 7% gain on the day. My options actually could have been sold for 100% today, but I decided to hang on. Again in hindsight I [...]

I sold EXTR today and bought CBRX. I wasn’t particularly comfortable with the buy to begin with and I commented on that yesterday.
I also sold ADM today and replaced it with ONNN. I took an 8.8% gain on ADM. I want to get back in on a pullback. I think the whole Ethanol/Solar stocks are [...]

Being Long. Took a 3% loss in the funds, but the good news is that I was short for the big drop on 2-27-07. I know some people out there are in alot more pain than I am, but it does feel good that I’m not as badly beat up. Flipped the losing fund trade [...]

I’ve been MIA the past few days, but I did swap to the short side before this two day thrashing occurred.
I sold FNSR yesterday and CNXT and MRVL this morning at the open.
I picked up ONT for my IRA. The Flash Codec technology that makes for a really amazing picture. Check out Brightcove.com to see [...]

I get alot of visitors that come to StockRake.com because they found the site searching for a particular stock symbol. SNDA is a great example of that. I receive alot of visits from people searching for SNDA info. At one time I liked SNDA — earlier in the year. However, I haven’t liked or have [...]

Indexes appear to be very overbought. I am short with index funds, but am looking to supplement with options at the close.

Sold the call options in RAD and SIRI and took 25%+ losses in both. Timing was off.
I like RAD alot more than SIRI, but the market feels like it could selloff today and I don’t want to stick around holding options in stocks where the charts have turned infavorably.
I added to my position in XPO.
