Some really awesome long positions in ELLI FSLR HRL and AVGO propelled me out of glut. Back to cash for now. Mr. Market will continue to downtrend, this is the first time in 7+ years that numerous long-term moving averages are trending downward. A serious correction or recession is in the...

Hmmm I just clicked on each transaction and was able to manually set it as a W. Although I only had about 15 wash sales to deal with. Good to know for future reference.

Yes, I owe on top of what I already pay in income taxes. It seems about right unfortunately. I'm looking for another opinion before I go runoff to a CPA which I would rather not.

1. Did you beat the SP500? Yes 2. Did you beat opportunity cost (day job)? No, not even close. 3. What was your return? +20.25% , $10,857. Up over 100% with my options account but I only made like $2k for the year in that one. I think that people should post their Sharpe ratio for the year...

Hi I might be interested. I'm out in Castro Valley.

1.58 sharpe ratio...back on top.

Damn son...Check out that Sharpe Ratio!

Its not worth it. He basically rehashes stocks from the IBD 50, which you could just subscribe to directly. I am a momentum/ultra-growth trader like him, and I would never subscribe to him(or any service for that matter). He does not talk about how much he lost after he made his $40+ mil...
