Hangin’ In, Loading Up – 9/1/10

by Patrick on September 1, 2010

in Other

I never got rid of the my previously mentioned puts… They are not even near break-even now at $1.00. But indications are that I should repurchase them soon, just in case I did sell.

So what am I going to do? Buy more. Just a word of caution. Don’t do this. (Wish me luck)

Quick Trading Update – 9/1/10

by Patrick on September 1, 2010

in Other

Just a real quick update on the puts I bought Monday.

I’m still in them. I had some problems with my trading platform and should have dumped them before now but I’m currently near break-even and my indicators are not saying that the Q’s are going to break above this level so I’m going to stay in them for a little while and see what develops.

Quick Funny – Feel My Pain

August 19, 2010

I made a trade shortly after noon that at one point was $300+ in the money. Then It was losing over $2k. I was sick to my stomach.

Now it’s $900+ in the black and climbing. I am now elated. The thing is, my charts are now telling me to prepare to bail.

Nothing like a good whipsaw to humble a person, huh?


Update (3:26pm EDT): Bailed at $1.05 for a $4100 profit when momentum started to dwindle and I got tired of watching the trade.

After The Crash – TRIX and WD50

May 10, 2010

You can't count the market down until the fat lady sings.

"Hey! Where is this fat lady? I don't see no fat lady."

"You're a computer. You can't see."

"OKAY! I got some buying to do."

That seemed to be the market for the day. Although TRIX was still down below the mid-mark the WD50 moved back up above the mid-mark after only dropping below it Friday. Since it has to close below that mark and then must be below it to trade, this volatility is looking like a bear trap, so we wait. Lots of air (gap) under today's closing price. With the flatness of today's trading it looks like we might not have to wait long, eh?

TWIX Way Did It Go?

May 3, 2010

As I write this the TWIX, if you remember needs to drop below zero on a daily basis before the downturn starts in ernest, is now at 5.63. Down for 9.27 from Friday’s close and 24 from last Monday. It hasn’t been this low since February 19th.

Soon. Very Soon. I can sense it.
