I forgot that I didn’t post on Thursday, but I went long the indexes rather heavy at the close. Markets appear severely oversold and ready for a bounce. If for some chance we are down in the morning it will likely be a big intraday buying opportunity.

A smattering of trades today….
Looks like it was a good move to drop the DDM when I did.
HYGS was the trade of the day getting 28% on the move. Immediately out of the gate it was a race between CNEH and HYGS to see who would be up more by the close. CNEH was rocketing, [...]

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 [...]

In staying with my plan I bought some morning weakness by using the free cash from yesterday and bought the SPX. An up close today will likely see me cashing in and taking profits. I expect volatility the rest of the week and then finally want to be long right before the Fed meeting.

I was slow on the trigger, or I should say my wife was using the laptop and I there was a “delay” with my sell order….
Hence less gain on the trade. I’m still happy with 85% gain though. The trade was worth a little more than 100%+ though by being early rather than late.
*I put [...]

Took a 50% gain in the SPLS call options I bought on Nov 5 for .20. I got out today at .30. Really ends up being around 40% minus commish.

Bought more RUT this morning. I really struggled with just taking it all off and looking to wait till Monday, but I think the possibility to break resistance on the SPX and a higher move in the RUT is possible. Maybe a blow up move today, scare the shorts, and then slight selloff into the [...]

Just bought a little more UVE today. I only have one position of UVE in one account right now. Was up 17% now back down to 14.5% with this fresh buy.

I already own ICTL in one of my baskets/portfolios. Currently up over 12% with todays breakout. I bought more today for my retirement account at $3.11. Since the earnings report has been out for two weeks with little movement and yesterdays huge volume, I think this move could turn into one that runs. Someone big [...]

False breakout on DAR the other day when I bought it. I thought the high oil prices might actually help. I’m getting sell signals today and in this tape I’m not sticking around. I don’t care how much I like the business. 3-4.5% loss across the accounts for this trade.

I bought DAR for several of my accounts. I’m in at 10.02 - 10.05

RIMM calls. I got a little more than my $2 today. With all the volatility they finished up to $2.6. Thats .60 higher then my buy price of $2 yesterday - 30% gain.
If we were smart, and I was so close to being smart this morning, we could’ve loaded up on the November 105s when [...]

I’m in a chancy mood today. Bought some RIMM November 105s for $2.
I actually had profits in both RUT index calls and the IWM calls at one point today. Both shortly after their purchases. I’ll post charts later. 13% and 14% gains respectively, but I wasn’t quick on the trigger and was anticipating the move [...]

I jumped the gun this morning. I saw weakness in my systems, but the 15minute bars never closed weak. I was waiting for at least one to two bars followed by a green bar. The RUT just did this pattern. So what I did was buy 1 Nov 770 call for $7.8 whi lthe R2K [...]
