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.

DAR Support

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.

JOYG Poppage Potential

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.
