March 12, 2008

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 the wrong trade, but the market is too sketchy now for me.

EMKR – Still have it and I was a little careless on this buy and didn’t sell it. Held overnight.

RIMM – The too quick sell sucked.

CREE – Had a good day earlier then dropped like the market.

YHOO calls – They are sucking bad right now. Considering taking my meager value and running all the way home, however, at this point, little risk and a lot of reward if a bid gets upped or accepted between now and Friday.

Bought:

CPST – Shortly after the Midday Update posting I went into CPST again at 2.05.
