What Worked and Sucked Today 432008
Yesterdays post is dated incorrectly.
Worked:
YGE – I sold out of YGE today completely for a 21% gain.
CPST – I sold half my CPST this morning @ 2.4 and the other half 2.44 for total gain of 20.7%.
INTC – I really have no patience for this stock. Its still good, but I dropped it today for a gain under 1%.
CAT – Selling it a few days ago was perfect. Since then CAT has pulled back from the 80 level down to 77.
LDK – I sold into the 6% pop this morning for total gain on the 2 day trade of 12%.
NDX – I also trimmed back my NDX position today after a .70% gain on that fresh money.
AMAT – Starting to turn around again. Went from negative to positive today. Semis are starting turn as well. AMAT is a beneficiary of a solar run as well as a semi run. Up 4.3% on the trade.
GILD – Nothing yet, holding 2%+ gain.
DAR – Had a great day today. DAR held its 50 d ema today. The additional DAR shares I bought yesterday are paying off. My loss in DAR trimmed from -15% at the low to -3% today.

Sucked:
Nothing
Bought:
JOYG – I’m expecting another pop tomorrow in JOYG. The support around the 21d ema, the RSI strengthening, and the MACD about to turn, I’m expecting a move to at least 70 tomorrow, maybe a little higher.

TBSI – I bought TBSI today because DRYS is ready to bounce and I have complained about TBSI being an outperformer in terms of daily performance. So this time around I went with TBSI.
DRYS April 70 calls – I like DRYS alot at these levels so I went with ITM calls.

I’m still heavily long in the index funds even with a small trim today. Looking for one more pop tomorrow in the markets.
