CM69's stock picking journal

Quote from cashmoney69:

calls for April 9th - May 9th 07

CFC - Still bullish. MFI and ROC began to rise in early march around the 12th despite the decline in price. 13 and 21 MA look like they'll cross soon, and bearish volume has been average for about the past 2 weeks. http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=CFC&p=D&yr=0&mn=7&dy=0&id=p67793429132 /// http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=CFC&p=W&yr=2&mn=0&dy=0&id=p82044474399 . Buy stop at 35.00

LEH - Bearish on this one, as the long term trend (weekly) has nothing good to say. Trend as well as indicators are negative, AND I see a bearish pennant that has formed on the weekly as well to enforce my beliefe that LEh goes lower. 13, and 21 MA's will most likely cross next week, ROC falling nicely and MFI topped in October of 06 and has been steadily declining as well. Price also broke the 50 EMA which can act as support..but not this time. We're beginning to see a bounce in the last few days (on daily) which I dont think will get much higher than 74. http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=LEH&p=D&yr=0&mn=7&dy=0&id=p67793429132 /// http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=LEH&p=D&yr=0&mn=7&dy=0&id=p67793429132 Short stop at 70

OIH - Bullish. I like OIH for the simple reason that we are heading into the summer, and like clock work, oil goes up. All indicators look great for OIH except for the decline in volume...however thats probably because it's going to a resistance level at 150. weekly ( http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=OIH&p=W&yr=2&mn=0&dy=0&id=p82044474399 ), daily( http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=OIH&p=D&yr=0&mn=7&dy=0&id=p67793429132 ) . buy stop at 151.00

CFC closed up 6.24pts on May 9th from my long April call.

LEH closed up 6.60pts on May 9th from short call.

OIH closed up 11.76pts on May 9th from long call.
 
going back over these number, had I held these stocks, I would have made:

net gain: 26,412
net loss: 11,465
commission: 91
net gain 14,856

in about 1.5 years. This would be a 49.52% gain on my 30k

starting capital, however the boring, laid back approach

to "investing", and the quick profits possible from day trading has

kept these numbers only on paper. Maybe it's true what they

say " Being bored out of my mind will make me a millionaire

faster"
 
Trading isnt about excitement, its about executing a well devised plan over and over and being disciplined and focus each and every day. Its not about gunslinging and going "all in".

If you want or need those kind of thrills, go skydiving or mountain climbing or something along those lines. Trading isnt the avenue to seek thrills.
