A solid game but it could have been a little better with just a little more size, as I had hot shooting. 10600 shares on 10 of 13 shooting, +1157 before commissions, +782 after, 2 bullets.
This is turning out to be a respectable pay period with $3700, and tommorrow I would love to put the cherry on sundae. Everything seems to be moving along ok, as the team finally got their software together. Hopefully they will get the second monitor soon and everything should click within a week or two.
Pre-Market: Massive gas downgrades, but with the way that sector has been pounded it was almost a guarantee that it was a trap, and I expected a massive squeeze.
9:30: Market tanking and ANN gapped up 70 cents, easily bullet for a fill the gap and I took 40 cents. Still put up a CVX bullet as the OIX was falling with crude oil price news, and really churned him through the sell-off and squeeze, tough stock will not trade again unless nothing else looks good. Expected the OSX squeeze and bottompicked HP/BJS, got out for flat at literally the minute before it squeezed, fortunately I was able to get my money from SGY/APC, but my 1000 share position in RIG did not work as the stock had no leg. Also had KMG but
10:05: Thought futures will squeeze, took FMC/TJX, scored a quarter a piece. Very weak squeeze and I liked what I saw on my blotter, with an interview coming in lunch time I stopped.
12:05: A friend of one of the traders came over since he was in the area, great guy, would have loved to have him on board, unfortunately his H1 status made it impossible for our firm to hire him. I guess the management don't want any hassles.
2:00: My friend scored huge on home builders today, and I saw BZH pulling back so I bought just 200, lost half a point on him as he was soooo thin and it fell like card board. Didn't want to churn, so stopped and focused on configuring First Alert for my team instead.
Candle:
In my eyes, no one elses come close to producing the type of impact she has on me every time I see her smile, like a warm spring breeze, the way it warms my heart and blows away every bit of stress and pain, simply irresistable. Few will have the same feeling, but let's just say something about her pressed every single button in my heart.
I can not post any pictures until I win the war, so pray for me.
P.S. I would like to keep this thread professional, so let's get back on topic.
