Closed JCP short at $31.25; got impatient waiting for the grass to grow. $1500 net.

KT...take this with a grain of salt as I'm not an "expert"; I'm only sharing my own personal experience with the hopes it helps someone else... RE: I wish I could say the same about me... - Go over the past 10 trades that didn't make you money and ask yourself why you got in and why it went...

Burpp...not sure what to make of NFLX puts...keep it or roll over. Sweet AF move. JCP following the script as planned. AAPL trying to break $400...lets go choo choo.... Eyes set on LNKD short.... Debt ceiling? of course it will be lifted! On vacation. Will post more....

To think I let go of those Jan 375's and Aug 420's too early! OMFG! AAPL OBLITERATED the highest estimates! We have just begun! Come on Wall Street...continue to misprice it! http://allthingsd.com/20110719/monster-earnings-from-apple/

Hey T786... Anyone is welcome to post here; thanks for dropping by. I'm not sure what you are talking about or referring to. I rarely trade the SPY or Q's or DIA's. However, it is looking like it will either bounce or breakdown...I'll take whatever it gives me. Good luck

Buy Stop placed at $33. Looking at $29.65 to close position if it bounces. IF not, we will continue to hold the short position.

What to do with earnings coming up...$364.92 closed on Friday; broker previous high by $0.02. Options don't look as cheap as they were in June; grrrr...to let those Jan 375's go too early! Another train is what I want to tell myself! Seems like we only have a few options... - play the...

Out for $420 gain. This was painful to watch. Out of JJG for $1200 gain NFLX tanked today by $12! :mad:

In the past; I've avoided trading stocks with larger floats (85M average daily shares!) with nasty fundamentals (IMHO). SIRI comes to mind. Interestingly enough, over the years that I've looked at this from the sidelines, this has managed to get out from a near death experience rising from the...

Second that! NFLX traded up to $300 today! AAPL went back up to $358! grrrr......:mad: Reminding myself there is another bus... Picked up JJG on stop yesterday...

Closed NFLX short @291.50; $300. That wasn't a very good use of a stream... So far, no trade today...looking at SIRI but the float is making me wanna barf...I keep on reminding myself....don't be judgmental...you just need 10% from $2.18....$2.40 is do-able lol. Don't like where it is...

Will it break upper trendline? or come back down for a breather after its torrid run from June lows?

AAPL week or so before earnings. Will wait to see if it clears $365 convincingly before buying in. GOOG reports later; if it is unexciting...AAPL may limp towards its own announcement thereby creating more opportunities (?)....

Closed RIMM day trade tranche for $603 gain.

$292.50 stop for NFLX.

Closed out All AAPL Jan 375C today for more than a double. As much as the trade worked out well, I didn't follow the plan as it could have gone the other way as well and I would have risked a stream. So, I'm struggling to logically digest the risk that I took. $350 is the mental stop for the...

LMAO! BTW, there is a book that you may find interesting that pretty much talks about what you are saying about "twisting and contorting, etc.." It is called "snakes in suits". Pretty much explains why it is so hard to find a great company that is also a "good" company...

Thanks. However, it is too early to tell. I do expect drawdown to occur and I intend to mitigate/lessen the extent it by position sizing and being disciplined (hardest part). As they say in this business...past performance doesn't guarantee...I find greed creeps up as your W/L ratio mounts...

Apr 2011 = $2,750 May 2011 = $2,551 June 2011 = $8,112 YTD = $16,813 Observations: - nowhere close to 10% per month; position sizing and allocation did make a difference. - doubling up on allocated funds (MERC and TZOO) can cut both ways. this may seem like a "duh" comment but it showed...

LOL thanks for dropping by guys! (or gals). U a big Terminator fan Cloudy? I certainly only liked the first one! Absolutely. In my own world, I don't see what I do in an "us" against "them" perspective. I've always had the approach that if I took care of my own end the rest will follow...
