That doesnt mean anything i made 4400 today but am just getting back to new highs after the 50k hole i dug myself shorting the market from early july. If i posted last weeks earnings it would look like im on pace for a 3 million dollar year, if i post 2 weeks before earnings it looks like im on pace to lose 3 million.
If ol' wheelbarrow made $2,200 in a day, call the cops. Hopefully they can get the $ he stole back to granny.

Contracting is different it's a slow grind but the grind is usually positive. When roofing is booming it's stupid good money for a working man, if you're good at saving money it's a damn good living. I did take a hit trading this week I was long IPI when it tanked overnight, that ate up the profits from several good trades.

good shit max. I was gonna ask you about your market short, but after that move, i figured it would just look like i was being an asshole.
In that sense it really isnt all that different, most of successful trading is grinding it out and being slightly positive then 3-4 months a year make your whole year, i get it, so why would you post the distorted 2200$ number?
I get the housing business, have tons of friends in construction, when you start your business off, you make money by squeezing people on lower wages, once you get big enough you can also squeze suppliers, unless you run one fuck of a big roofing company you arent making 2200 a day.
Id be willing to bet you dont average more than 10k per month net, unless you are big enough to order materials in bulk and put the screws to suppliers, which nothing you have said would put you there.

Never hesitate to ask, id never take it offensively, i always like talking trading, wish there was still more good traders on this site willing to do the same.
Market short was like death by a thousand cuts and the shitty thing is i was originally short the dead top, then when it bounced the market kept gapping up half a percent here quarter percent there, and it kept flat lining, which i misinterpreted to mean the market was done, so i kept adding a little more and a little more with every gap up, convincing myself my short was getting better and better, then i finally just threw in the towel, i took on way more risk on a directional position than i normally do and i was dead wrong.
luckily options ex in july was juicy
Moral of the story, dont FUCK WITH BERNANKE
Don't you run one of those addresses that get thousands of government SS checks and falsely filed tax refund scams for illegal aliens. If you are in the roofing business it is highly likely that you are one too!! Dumbass.
BTW is this you powering up the gas grill at home?

Needless to say, I won't be coming over for barbeque.
