I was done trading by 11am, but being long was a good place to be today.
I cashed the MSFT options near the open. The fact that I waited about 10minutes meant a loss of a couple grand because MSFT quickly dropped from the 36 level. I already mentioned it, but it was a gain of [...]

MSFT - The stock has moved higher since my buy. MSFT was up 11% afterhours. Thats absolutely insane. However, their earnings were insane so it matched. I bought the MSFT Nov 35s for .16 today, those will likely be up really big tomorrow. To shore up confusion, I own the equity and long call [...]

Being long. I was long the NDX from yesterdays close and I bought the RUT this morning when it was down slightly. RUT ended up closing positive slightly, but the NDX closed up a little less than 1% for the 2x funds.
NYX - Just bought this puppy today and it gets added to the S&P500 [...]

Being long (just for the morning action). Even though the NDX closed higher than my 10:45 window, the RUT closed lower by 4pm so the combination of the two indexes yielded more profit for me in the morning than at 4pm. That was a good trade worth about 1.5%.
CBST - Had good earnings after the [...]

Buying long this morning. The profit was minimal by the time the close rolled around, but profit is profit.  I added to those index longs at the close and it looks like its going to be a good trade based on the way INTC and YHOO are trading afterhours.
My SMH call options are probably going [...]

I mentioned on Friday that I took profits. With the big money I had no trade on the table. Sitting in cash is what worked today. My stocks got pummeled though so that sucked.
CBST - That trade worked today. Made a little bit today. They report Wednesday.
I thought it was very interesting how bad of [...]

AGEN - Busted higher. Up 9%.
JAVA - Continues to perform [...]

AZK - Broke out today to new [...]

UVE - Continues to perform.
BWLRF - Started out the day with an erroneous tick. I was shocked to see -31.5% . Shocked to say the least. Ended up 4% on the backs of the commodities being strong all day after the FOMC minutes were released. Up 22%.
EGI - A gold stock and longer term hold [...]

Being long. The indexes still continue higher. The NDX had a late run that bumped up to new highs. I cashed out Friday morning, but went back in Friday afternoon with the SPX and NDX. The spread between the two was .32%. Nothing great, but still a gain.
ABAT - Turning into GBT tomorrow, ROCKING. Up [...]

Being long. Not listening to noise. I went on a little tirade yesterday about noise and how it affects trading. From alot of what I was reading, people were expecting fire and brimstone today and for the market to drop, not breakout to new highs. I was very confident this wasn’t the case. If they [...]
