September 20, 2007

SVA – Up about 18% in a matter of days.

NDAQ – Continued to ramp on the Dubai – LSE deal. However, faded a little after Bush said he will “investigate the deal.” Either way up 6%

HSVLY – Continues to march quietly – slowly.

I actually took some index shorts at the morning prices and made a little bit of coin today there too. I’ll look to dump that though tomorrow if I can.

Glad I took my CYD off now. The market is having a monster intraday reversal. I don’t think I mentioned it, but I was long yesterday at the...

Futures Pointing To Big Up Open

Market Comments
I love seeing the futures point to such a monster opening on what would normally be a quiet morning. We’ve got Bush talking about the mortgage...

Ever think about disclosing the actual $$ you invest and the profit / loss you make on each of these trades?

Just curious how much you are making on some of the trades where you’re up 5+%

It would be interesting for you to list historical closed trades similar to the way Kirk does over at thekirkreport.com

I do post what I make on closed trades, but I would agree it is difficult under my current system to track anything I do. Normally, I’ll just post when I make a buy, report on how its goin, then report on where I closed out. I guess one page like kirk does would be considerably better. I’ve considered doing it.

The thing that I do that Kirk does not, is that I post my trades as I make them. I don’t have a members only site….hmmm maybe I should?

My main focus is finding stocks that are about to take off and I can’t buy all of them. I miss some, but they are posted for others to profit on. ie BIDU, WYNN, JRJC, the list goes on and on.

One of things I don’t talk about much is that 80% of my trading money is traded in 2x beta funds. On any given day my index trading can make nice 5 figure gains. Example if any of the indexes are up 5% that would be a 5 figure gain for me. A 5% gain in say SVA could be $500 or 5% gain in another stock could be $20000. It just varies how speculative I think a stock is or not.

My stock/option trades on the other hand are traded with less money and considerably more risk/reward. I’m going after those 20% gains within a month type trade. I’m not consistent as to how much I invest in one stock or the other.

Thanks for the comment. I hope you keep reading.

I agree, I think you are offering more than Kirk (to non members) by posting the trades as you make them. I was just saying that you should consider doing what he does where he lists out the results of each closed trade on one page on his website, where he lists the purchase price in $, sale price in $, number of shares purchased, and profit / loss in $. It would be interesting to see it that way. Good job on the website though, I enjoy reading it.
