The gains in the NDX (9%ish) and the RUT (11.4%ish) were outstanding. My only mistake was not adding back the money I took off the table after Monday’s run. Alas the gains have been good.
I have sold my index longs as a precaution at the close. I want to buy back on weakness or profit [...]

Topside levels
RUT 452
SPX 898
COMPX 1499
I’m also looking at UYG and the 6.05 level.
I get worried if we take out today’s open tomorrow on the indexes that closed positive.
I bought SOL, YGE, and APWR today near the end of the day. They have room a bit up before hitting major resistance (on these 3 symbols), but [...]

YGE @ 3.99
APWR @ 3.94
Alternative energy hot potato.
5 minute charts showing that same pop potential LVS exhibited earlier this morning and then did again later in the day. LVS is consolidating nicely actually. Wish I didn’t get stopped out.
It looks like JRCC could bounce more than today as well fwiw.

Here are two more reasons, why my shit is great, but I suck.
TWM Long:

YGE Short:

If you missed the orientation post, Green means long, Red means short.

Sold YGE @ 7.09
Bought @ 4.35 10-29-08
63% on the open…chooochooo.
PS I’m still long the index funds…which I’m slowly getting my money back on. I still need more upside. Like 1000 spx will be nice to see.

What I’m doing now is creating a morning post and then just commenting under that post all my trades for the day. Its kind of like twittering my own posts. I’m finding it easier to do it this way.
Today was a flat market, but I was out trading like a banshee raking in gains. This [...]

Bought BG, OXY, DRYS, DAR and sold DRYS Nov 12.5 puts.
I so wish I bought SOLF instead of YGE. Still might be a nice running from here. QCOR trying to breakout today - be careful on that one.
DRYS reports Monday and if GNK can crush earnings I’m guessing DRYS can too.
TBSI, EXM, EGLE, & OCNF, [...]

We are finally getting the move I’ve been waiting for. Unfortunately its from a lower level than I anticipated it would start from. However, its possible because the move was exacerbated to the downside that we may see more of a stretch upwards than your typical bounce JUST so that things equalize. The VIX and [...]

Sold QLD (first trade was a 50% cut) @ 33.9 & 33.73 19%+ gains
Sold SSO (first trade was a 50% cut) @ 30.8 & 30.11 19%+ gains
I sold half of my YGE @ 4.91 for a gain of 12.8% gain from yesterday
I’m pretty happy with where I bought CSIQ, YGE, CALM, WLT, and VLO that [...]

I bought these today. Most of these names will be unfamiliar as I owned them recently, then sold em all with egregious losses, but the time to get back in was right.
WLT
FCX
CSIQ
YGE
CALM
VLO
*I also bought GNK yesterday which I think I forgot to mention. GNK had a crazy day today. All over the place. Started out [...]

Today was awesome wuth every single buy working positively, however, I got nervous with my FCX and QLD trade which for some stupid strange reason I sold, scratch that the reason was fear and noise. Both of those were sold at losses and they have to be two of my worst trades ever because I [...]

• Comments

FCX @ 35.31 (If copper continues its move today - you can watch JJC for the move or copper directly, FCX can continue to roar)
GNK @ 21.18
CLF @ 30.98
YGE @ 6.18
more CSIQ @ 11.89
QCOR @ 7.45 (crap)
QLD @ 35.17

At the time of this posting, these are a list of stocks that based on typical valuation models and technical analysis are cheap and oversold. These stocks are likely being priced in for the incoming global recession, but they might have priced them down too far. Most of these stocks have PEs under 3. However, [...]

Bought calls in YGE and TSO today. The May YGE 30 and 25 strikes saw unusual volume (the puts did as well, but not nearly as much action), I decided to go risky and go with the May 30s. For TSO I went with the June 25 calls there. YGE reports tomorrow. I haven’t had [...]

Worked:
Being long the NDX and RUT for a 6% gain.
DRYS option calls good for 47% overnight.
CPST, JOYG, DAR, KOL all moved higher. These 4 are either at or above 52 week highs.
GILD had great earnings, but no AH action yet.
Sucked:
Not being heavily long in the indexes. To be fair it was very unclear to me [...]
