Spanked today: 1 long loser, 3 short losers, -541 net. Could have been worse, but could have been better. One loser is 380 of the total; would have become a nice winner had I had 10 minutes more of patience; but it gave no indication it was going to turn.

That's beautiful. Busted trades are a crock. Responsible parties should be required to insure themselves against erroneous executions. Its complete BS that you get stuck with a position you didn't take through no fault of your own.

4 short, 1 long, 2 short winners, 2 short losers, long was a winner, +185 net A lot of work today for not much gain. Could have been worse though. Took a $300 loser, and had to be patient on another that was down $300 but worked its way back to a $140 win. With the losers taking my attention...

1 long loser, 1 short winner, penalties offset, repeat third down. (-10 net).

2 long fills, 2 wins, +360 The news I pay attention to are up/downgrades of the stock or its peer, and earnings of the stock or its peer (including co. adjusting forcasts for earnings and/or sales). I ignore the rest.

No fills; blocked half my stocks for news.

2 short, 1 long, 3 wins (one on a small test position) +235 A small pick me up after both Penn State and the Steelers lost on the last play of their games. :mad:

1 short fill, +115 net Can the Nittany Lions keep it going at Michigan on Saturday? Also, don't forget the Steelers play Jacksonville Sunday. Have a good weekend everyone.

That article was an interesting read. Sounds like he wrote it shortly after getting his ass handed to him on a sell off. Complaining about the wrong type of investors buying his stock? Come on. He himself says there are a hundred ways to make money in the market. Why complain about the way...

No fills, used a fatter envelope than usual.

I only do around 8 stocks with size varying from 500 shares on new stocks I'm testing to 3000 shares on ones I'm more comfortable with. Most others on here do way more than that; I'm just a piker.

No wonder I keep getting beaten up and my lunch money taken...

1 long, 1 short, both losers, -310 net. Don't you hate it when the market rallies on the open and your shorts go up and your longs go down? So much for the hedge...could have been worse though; the short came in a bit to let me out with less devastation.

Get rid of MCD like I did. He's not a team player...

No fills today as I was submitting OPG orders with a huge envelope to verify software. Would have likely ended up scratch today on 3 fills. Lots of Steeler fans in San Diego last night...

No fills, blocked half my roster. I think today should be renamed State College day after Penn State's big win over Ohio State. :D

No fills while dealing with technical issues. Must have caught Chiguy's bug... Have a good weekend. Be sure to root for Penn State as they take on the evil Buckeyes.

No fills today. Almost half my roster was blocked out for one reason or another.

Yeah, get rid of stocks you can't trade worth a damn (MCD) and your P/L goes up. No dice today though. 2 long, 1 short, 1 win, 2 losses, -211

1 Long fill, +175
