Essentially I made one terrible trade which got me caught on the Thursday downdraft. Now I’m looking to get short and in fact did today in the indexes. However, it looks like there might even be the beginning of that bounce I was talking about happening yesterday. That is ok, because I will ladder into [...]

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.
The Ship has changed [...]

I noticed QCOR is overbought on the daily chart just after my last post. I decided to take the 8% gain and buy into VLO. I like other refiners here such as TSO and WNR as well.

Went short with the indexes this morning and it was a rough way to get to the finish line.
Markets blasted up and by the morning price time window rolled around the NDX was already up .50%. That was good for me to take a shot. However, the markets rallied even more. The Dow more than [...]

Just posting some trades I made right before the close.
Bought UWM and went short the USO by buying June 100 puts.
I’m looking for a severe pullback in Crude. In these type of trades I’m right immediately then I get giddy with the profits, take them and move on, however, they end up being really nice [...]
Sold:
ABAT - From the WTF?! department. I guess that move in ABAT on Friday was short covering before earnings. ABAT completely reversed and dropped large this morning. I got out with a 13% loss. Out @ 4.10. Crap trade.
VLO - Sold out of the remaining shares because its just not acting well. Took a 1% [...]

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:
Long the indexes and going back into them yesterday for extra 1% in the NDX and RUT today. I cut back my longs severely at the close. Who knows what will happen tomorrow, but if we get a selloff, I’m buying it.
Bought:
CAT @ 76.79 down a little on the trade.
VLO - I sold VLO for [...]

What didn’t work? Nearly everything was up big today for me.
6% gains in the NDX and RUT. Half of that was only a gain of 5%, while the QLD and UWM both gained at least 6% this morning as they outpaced their benchmark indexes.
GILD - I sold it today in a slight panic. It was [...]
Sold:
UWM and QLD for gains of more than 6%. There was a big discrepancy between the pricing of UWM and the RUT this morning. Sometimes that price difference normalizes in favor of the RUT and then the UWM would drop. I took the extra gain in the UWM. << semi dumb move. Right now UWM [...]

CREE - POPPED 9% today! F$CK! Guess what? I bought it back for a different account this morning [...]

Worked:
It was a sweet move cashing out of the longs this morning because the market dumped hard. Saved myself more than a 5% loss. Thats a nice swing for my account.
VLO - Calls. Made 52% overnight from yesterday’s buy and sold it friggin perfectly @ 4.12. VLO was up over 4% earlier then finished down [...]

Got out of my index longs this morning with a loss in [...]

Being long! Helluva day today. The only way it gets better was being long at the close yesterday. Something I considered if you read my bullsh post yesterday. Well by the tone of my post yesterday you could tell I had a boner to be long, but I didn’t say it specifically. I did get [...]

AAPL Feb 120 calls - In @ 4.5, Out @ 5.65. Had as much as 50% at the highs of the day, but got a little scared and with the market [...]
