Being long and not panicking. I talked about it yesterday and I reiterated it today. I knew something would happen in the terms of news or fed rate cut or that type of thing that would send this market flying and screw up everyone who is betting on the drop. NDX almost gained 1% (remember [...]

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.

FRPT - Touched [...]

Being long. The indexes put in a huge day. 4%+ for both the RUT and NDX. Big day for my accounts for sure.
AMAT - Nice move there too. I sold early even with the 150% gain, but the trade was a good trade regardless. The calls finished up around 350% as AMAT closed at the [...]

Being long. I wish I covered my index longs this morning. I contemplated it, but hung on. Still made money between my split positions of NDX and RUT. I am actually more skewed towards RUT about 60/40 and RUT closed up 1.6% and NDX down 1.4% so ka ching on the spread.
YGE - Nailed the [...]

Being long. The Rut gained some pennies, while the NDX gained more than 2%. Hanging onto the longs is not looking so dumb (referring to the Feb 6th buy).

RUT calls - I basically churned in RUT calls today, but the final trade I made was right. In fact, if I wasn’t so chicken sh$t about my positions lately I would’ve just held all my RUT calls from my first buy till tomorrow’s close. I’ve been rattled lately as my trading account had a [...]

Overloading my trading account to one play. EBAY. Stupid move. I won’t do it again. Lost a nice chunk of it, but I was swinging for the fences and I did calculate my risks. I actually lost less than I was willing to lose on the trade if you can believe it. The official numbers [...]

Nothing, but EBAY really.
My BZH calls took a big hit. This is a lottery ticket trade so I’m already counting it as a loss. I then got stupid and tried something special. I bought KBH July calls hoping for a short squeeze this month. These are really lottery ticket options and again already chalked [...]
