Being long (just for the morning action). Even though the NDX closed higher than my 10:45 window, the RUT closed lower by 4pm so the combination of the two indexes yielded more profit for me in the morning than at 4pm. That was a good trade worth about 1.5%.

CBST – Had good earnings after the bell. I’ll be holding on.

The SMH call option trade. That was good for an overnight gain of 38%.

TOVC – Game me a little more up today.

QTM – I’ve been trading this one rather well lately. This chart shows it.  Closed up another 7.35% today and now up 26% on the position in one account and more than 10% in the others.

QTM trading this week

DAR – Still inching up. Sector might not be in focus right now, but business is good and greasy.

I threw my money back on the long side today at the close in the indexes, however, it was with less money. I plan to add to the position if the markets give me an opportunity to get in at better prices.

KTOS – Is working on a new closing weekly high.

The one thing that continues to suck for me is the ALKS call options. I’m still holding these calls and we’ll see what happens. I’m down 53%, but its a small position.

AEN – Is also down about 3% since my buy. Still hanging on and not selling until I get a signal either way.

Cramer talked about the Dry Shippers tonight and I got frustrated. I talk about the missed call alot, but if what Cramer thinks the Dry bulk shipper stocks will continue to go higher, then I really missed the boat on this bull market – no pun intended.

I’ll probably post a stock list tonight.
