Next on the watchlist - IBM. This name always makes it back into my watchlist for one reason or another. Right now the reasons are: 1. Very strong support at the 190 level 2. It has been consolidating for about a year and a half 3. I believe earnings on the 17th will be positive, dont...

Just sold CSCO @25.78 to book my 27% gain in 2 months. CSCO has an awful lot of resistance at the 26-27 level, will look to re open if it breaks through 27. For now, very happy with this trade, best one of the year so far. Also one more thing. CSCO broke out of the channel its been in...

ahh wow, i missed that. priceless.

Is that comment referring to you having a thesis market is going down, or referring to said poster being a half-wit, or both?

As you can see in my journal I am opening new longs whenever I get the chance. Just bought BBL at 50.49 a week ago as my most recent long. I am definitely not as aggressive as I was 6 months ago, but I am still long.

finally someone that makes sense. All I see here on ET is a new thread bitching about bernanke or something. Just shut up and make money. short when its time to short. obviously its still time to be long right now.

so much for walking and not sprinting, entire account went up 2.75% today which is a top 3 day for me since I've been at it. While happy obviously for the gain, I need to re-assess how much risk I actually have on the table at the moment. I am hoping its just because I have a keen ability to...

Ah okay thanks, keep up the good work im enjoying watching

correct me if im wrong but your blotter shows about +150 and not the +257 you stated, am I reading it wrong?

6% pop on BBL today. very reminiscent of my DLR that popped 6% the day after I bought it. However, like DLR, i'm in this name for 15-20%, not 6%. but I do like the quick pop nontheless

I added a little to BBL yesterday. was on vacation and did it by phone, added at 50.49 didn't do an update last week but could do a quick one now and also one on friday Account value: $54,253 up 31% on my KO puts so far. wish I would have put more on obviously. but as I said I am...

okay my brokerage completely updated the performance numbers. Last quarter was actually my best outperformance ever. I decided to include all of my 2011 performance even though I didn't start this thread until july of 2011. It shows, in my opinion, pretty consistent performance of around...

Thank you for this link, the correlation is acceptable for me between CAT and BBL. I have my performance numbers for the quarter. They are even better than I thought they'd be. Last quarter I had a time weighted return of 12.4% vs S&P 4.3%. I am currently up 24.3% on the year. I am...

Account balance: $53,172 Total deposits: $33,500 Pretty non event week, will post 2nd quarter results sometimes early next week. I think I had a great out performance in the 2nd quarter.

btw, does anyone know how to check correlation between 2 companies? is there a free website or something?

bought 100 shares of BBL for 51.46 a little concerned about the correlation between BBL and CAT as I now have about 30% capital between those two companies.

My NSC has moved 2.5% in my favor already. I've traditionally held for 15%ish on my positions but starting to see value in taking trades off if they move 3-5% in my favor fast. I had the opportunity to take a quick 1 day 6% gain on DLR and I waited for the 15% and I am now in the red on it...

just bought some NSC at 70.50 finally getting a decent correction like ive been waiting on! now to manage the margin properly..

just sold 2 puts on KO nov 16 40p@2.05 net of commission Don't really plan on holding this until Nov 16.

You obviously didn't read what I actually said? I said you can draw the trend line however you want, but you have to be consistent. If you use the bottom of the daily range as the bottom of your trendline, then if at any other point that range breaks the trendline then it is no longer a...
