This is the way the current race looks right now if you are just going by the charts.
Yahoo right now is just not working. The market doesn’t like the uncertainty that swirls around the stock right now and its punished with impunity at any chance. Yahoo could play the next starring role in “Open Water [...]

Worked:
Sticking with the longs.
QQQQ calls were good for 6% in the early action. In @ .82 out @ .87 (damn morning dip). About 10 minutes after I sold them, I saw that the market was going down, so I rebought the same QQQQ calls @ 1.02.

MSFT had a huge day today and I think [...]

Worked:
AMAT, VLO, not being in SJT or other oil related stuff. (Crude dropped to 101 today. I said it would trade to 100.)
INTC  - Moved nicely today.
Sucked:
YHOO calls expired worthless…no deal from MS to save me. 100% loss.
CREE - POPPED 9% today! F$CK! Guess what? I bought it back for a different account this morning [...]

This is a late posting. Was extremely tired and I guess it caught up to me. I konked out last night early.
Worked:
EMKR and CPST both came back and closed positive. I was impressed with CPST’s trading action yesterday. Nice volume right near the close to push it back to even. CPST looks good long term [...]

Worked:
The QID short, the UWM trade,  AMAT upped a little more, DAR was up almost 2%.
Sucked:
Being long the indexes and NOT taking the gains this morning when the market popped. Grumble… I cashed out those index longs eating the loss of 2% in the RUT and less than 1% in the NDX. Might have been [...]

On Friday I bought SJT.
Today I sold CPST.
The market is going down everyday and we still haven’t seen the panic. I’ve got an inkling that if it doesn’t come today, its coming tomorrow. At that point I’m going to be a buyer again.
I’m in cash in pretty much everything except my YHOO calls which are [...]

I did the Happy Leap Year thing too early. Most everything sucked from me as I have this mental block to go short for some odd reason. I’ve made more money shorting than going long actually, but this year and late 07 I can’t seem to make the switch. So I got hit with [...]

Worked:
Being long the indexes worked again today. The NDX netted 1% while the RUT was flat to down a little bit.
Bought:
AAPL March 125 call options @ 3.10. They were up to 4 bucks at the close for a 29% gain, but I held on and I’m glad I did because AAPL went up to 127 [...]

Worked:
I didn’t get a chance to do a Midday Update today because of family matters.
I also didn’t cash out of my index longs this morning and it worked out for the better. The NDX gained about .66% and a 2% gain for RUT just padded my trade. It looks like we have more coming too. [...]

Worked:
Being long the indexes. I’ve been long for days now and today it paid off. More than 4% in the RUT and I’m RUT heavy in my index account plus 1.36% in the NDX.
SEED - Up 4%.
CPST - Had a great move today. Up 9.2% on the position.
YGE - I got ancy on my [...]

I’m changing the title of the WWT and WST posts and combining them. Most days something almost always works and something almost always sucks.
What sucked:
Being long the indexes and taking my profits yesterday when they were on the table. Today was another aggrevating, frustrating move that is going to get under the skin of traders. [...]

Being long. Got my money back from yesterday’s losses and then some when the markets rallied making the NDX up 2.5% and the RUT 2%. The RUT is looking very good here.
SEED - Exploded upwards today. Up 14.4% today, I’m up 13% from my buy yesterday, + another 8% on today’s Midday buy.
FRPT - Touched [...]

Churnfest 2008 here.
Lost back what I made in the indexes yesterday. 4% loss in the NDX, 4.6% in the RUT. Ugh. I shouldn’t have been as exposed as I was yesterday. Lesson learned.
Pretty much lost a little on a bunch of trades today.
Sold: IMB @ 8.09 for a loss of 3%, COIN @ 10.20 for [...]

Bought:
IMB @ 8.35, YRCW @ 17.8,YHOO March 32.5 call options @ .56, XJT @ 3.07, EMKR @ 14.47
Sold:
CSUN @ 9.06 for a 1% loss, DAR @ 12.89 for a 12.6% gain - worried about some gaps lower - will buy on pullback, XJT @ 2.95 for a 3.9% loss, EMKR @ 13.9 for a loss [...]

Took a loss in USU calls and the blundering YHOO call purchase made last night. I have a feeling we might see some bounce today. My stuff shows us opening in oversold territory that might give us a bounce into yesterdays close.
SVA and GBT are booming today btw. GBT had blowout earnings. I made a [...]
