Not as busy as yesterday but busy none the less I have also once again began posting my buy and sell average prices and performance on Covester. My long with MEE worked out well today and with several trades with it today it brought some nice gains. I am also holding a small amount into...

For sure one of the most active days in months. I have some trades I am really proud about and others I wish I didn’t have to claim. Easily the most shares traded in one day this year. PALM shot up and I started out long and it looked like it was done so I covered and shorted. I was very...

And the market keeps rolling higher This would include BW which was a gap up that I held overnight. I was able to buy and sell some and ended up just slightly more short at the end of today than yesterday. I took some realized losses and my basis moved up a lot. Looks like this will turn into...

It was a very busy day and that helped along with making money so it was all good. Mom called twice to see if she should pick him up and both times he said he wanted to stay. It was a lot of fun and probably more for Dad than for him as I don't get to spend nearly enough time with my boys...

Lots of trading today and a fun day with my son I was lucky enough to get to spend the day with my son and show him what I do everyday. He was very interesting in how the trades work and the price movements. I started to teach him about moving averages and how to calculate an average and...

Tough first day of the month It started out fine enough. I traded a few and made some and lost some but I was short RYAAY and I started to close out as it was just not moving. I am glad I did close some out as I took a small gain with it and then it was upgraded from a hold to a buy and this...

Its funny you say that NoDoji, I was saying to Colin in the chat that we could either go long or short and put the cover 50 cents away and make money......

Hi Trade, I currently have 25K- 75K in the account and I am up for the month but I am also down for the year. A few times at the end of last year and this year when I was hitting my head against the wall I pulled out capital so the numbers may look a little skewed. I may start putting...

Well I made it. I made a lot changes in the last half of February and they have paid off. My trading is about as good over all as it has ever been and while I have had a few bumps on the way this month including yesterday I feel my game is better than it has ever been. I made have made more...

Love that movie It really has been that kind of day I am glad to have made a few bucks with everything considered

Made money today but not my best day of trading I could have done better with the spoos and RDC. Avoiding ES would have been the right move and not trading RDC a second time would have been the right move with that. ES Tried to get short when Obama started speaking and the spoos where...

I did a large amount of my trading in afterhours I closed out the rest of FINL with a small loss as I covered as it moved lower. I did short a small amount on the opening pop higher but did not want to go to far out. All in all a good ending to a bad mistake. – 165 CYD was a long looking...

Hi Bart, I sure would agree that being very good at one thing is much better than average at many in this business. Best to you and lets close out strong this quarter Robert

Hi Jones, Not often as I normally fade. I wasn't out looking for this trade. This trade found me. During fades and backtesting I noticed the pattern of the second move higher in a strong stock is usually the one that 'sticks' and when it does it will often continue higher into the close...

LOL I didnt think of it that way but as always you put a great spin on things what happened??? looked like it was going to take off. Scalping paradise today that is for sure

Hi Wizard, wow you guys really have a lot to say to each other. This is not meant to take anything away from anyone else or any other chat room but if you like your welcome to stop in the chat I am in everyday and see if its a good fit. Shoot me a PM if you don't have the webaddress...

That is not exactly correct. It can actually still be sold short and will be by the largest players. The market makers are still able to short as part of "making a market" (think of the cash the CBOE kids are going to make) This "rule" applies to the outsiders. The only people that wanted...

xie xie ni sook I actually was trading before that in 1984 or 83. I don't recall the year I started. Anyway the real progress has been made since 2000 when I took a whole different attitude toward trading. Best to you Robert

I do agree with you. I am still not sure if I made the right choice or not. Once I found out that it was not fully qualified to be shorted I stopped and took a look to see if I should just exit as I normally do when I see a mistake made. But the chart looked so good I stayed with it. The one...
