Being long the RUT. Today the indexes dropped on lite volume, but aggressively ans suspiciously sold off near the close. I said last week that weakness this week should be bought. The Fed meets next Tuesday and we will get a decision on interest rates. I sold half my index long position today because [...]

The market not holding its opening prices. It wasn’t surprising though. I saw either scenario as playable today so now the possibility of a weak open Monday becomes a buying opportunity. The thing that sucks is that the RUT sold off from its 10:45 pricing while the SPX pretty much held onto its morning gains [...]

Forcing trades. Its definitely not a time to be experimenting.
Here is what I was looking at today for the RUT/IWM calls.

There are a couple of spots I didn’t put on the chart where I could’ve gotten out with those 13/14% gains. That first buy on the green hammer (I bought when it was red before [...]

Being long. I cashed out my index long today with a big loss for the week. Its in the neighborhood of +10%. I’m still up in the neighborhood of 20% for the year in my index trading accounts. Drawdowns suck no matter what, but when I take a look at where the major indexes are [...]

Being long. I held my index longs overnight from yesterday thinking maybe CSCO would help out. When CSCO reported they basically took the biggest dump in several years. I think 12% drop over 2 days - 9% or so today. I had CSCO calls as well that are basically worthless now. So that sucked too.
The [...]

Being long. Indexes just dumped today. I lost about 5% on my NDX position. NOT GOOD. Its fucking up my yearly performance bigtime.
CSCO didn’t help. Very similar to ATVI. Good numbers…well ATVI were amazing numbers, and the good news is getting sold.
Late day CSCO calls buy - What a flop this trade is. Certain stocks [...]

Happy November!
Being long sucked. The market was relentless. The RUT was down 3.93% double it and its close to 8% loss for the 2x funds.  Nasdaq held up relatively well in comparison to every other index. SPX nosedived as well as the Dow. I have a feeling todays action is the real move, but just [...]

All my stocks in one portfolio were down today except VSCI.
GLOB, KTOS, GBT, AZK, QTM, ORCH, SVA
CHTR, JOEZ, BWLRF, EGI, TBUS
RIC, UVE
Overpaying for the CUVKK calls. However, the earnings report was great those options should pop tomorrow when CEDC does their conference call. I love that they deferred till tomorrow. Can’t wait to see what [...]

Being long the NDX. I got hit for a 2.4% loss today there. However, it looks like with MSFT afterhours the NDX will likely pop big in the morning giving me all the loss back. I also doubled that NDX position up at the close so if the NDX does 1% at the morning window, [...]

Missing out on CYD - China Yuchai - when I had it in my grasp a few days ago. I almost bought it today when it was up only 13% on the day - closed up 18% by the close. News was that they got a new CFO because their old one sucked.
So far the [...]

Doing my morning short flip. Today I flipped from being majority long the SP500 with split NDX and RUT minor positions to majority short NDX and some RUT. I picked the worst of the best though as the NDX was only up .37% x2 thats less than 1%. The RUT did .66% x2 was 1.32%. [...]

Those stupid fookn MU calls. I couldn’t keep myself from trying to take that extra trade. I did no research, I hardly looked at the charts, and I just gambled. It was a small position, but gambling near short term tops in the market is always a bad move. I don’t know what I was [...]

NDX being up .95% which is 2% for the 2x funds. So I’ve taken another loss on my index shorts. I covered it today. Not wanting to get hit with anymore loss there. Although its probably the time for the NDX to turn and catch up to the weakness showing in the RUT and SPX. [...]
