Being long the indexes. I’m glad the bounce happened because I was getting worried there for a minute. Not to say we couldn’t pullback next week more, but it looked like we may have bottomed for the year….possibly….I hope. COMPX tested the breakout level I mentioned the other when I posted that chart. The trade today in the NDX was worth about 1.5%.
Not being in AXP anymore. Made some money in NMX on the swap. I plan to keep it there. Also selling my AXP calls was a good move even with the loss.. It was an example of being in a trade that didn’t work and not getting married to it. I used the leftover cash to buy USU Dec 10 calls which are already up.
USU was also mentioned on CNBC’s pops and drops tonight. Its up afterhours and Tim Seymour mentioned its going to 12, but to take profits there. If USU gets there the Dec 10s should produce a gain of about 150-170%.
SVA - Acting well.
NMX - From the buy, up 3%.
I could talk alot about what sucked today for stocks I own, but I want to stay on a positive theme for now and see what next week brings.

Good call with USU I got stopped out a couple days ago and of course it popped to the upside.

2I didn’t I’m a shmuck with that one. I would be a seller here though short term if I was still in BQI. I sold the other day with no reason at all. Either way its 25% from when I bought. My entries are good, I just need to work on my sells.

3Hey Sensei. Just wanted to see your opinion on Limelight Networks. They release earnings at the end of the day on Monday. I am predicting they will report better than expected earnings… They are a great target for acquisition by Google who needs a CDN.
Anyway I’m thinking of grabbing some calls. Also I suggest continuing to trade microsoft options…
-Cheers

4romaitas,
Short term it looks REALLY good on the daily and the weekly is starting to shape up too. Short term I like it.
Not alot of volume on calls though.
