Go Market It's your birthday Go Market It's your birthday Ended up watching Pirahna 3D this afternoon, kinda reminded me of the market.  Added some Feb RCL 48 Puts on today's strength but no other trades. Watching my SQNM trade perform as expected and awaiting January expirations.  Hope everyone made some money today and will do so tomorrow. Members, please post your results along with your RDA of new and improved smileys!  |

LVS continues its impersonation of a falling knife today (a temporary condition to day) but of course I tried to catch it. Apart from that other bits of my portfolio did nicely. HNP has started moving back up. Once FJPNX reports I expect the portfolio to be up about 1/4% - basically the same amount that it fell yesterday.

Everything did well except LVS and the silver miners which I couldn't figure 'cause the silver was up.  Best % gainers were PAL, UEC, DAG, and ALU which I had been holding as a contrarian play. Let's keep this going.  |

Real LifeFFR was level at .17% and remains in 'get your parachutes on watch' territory. While it has not dipped into the .16% deployment levels yet, with the market at current levels and the FFR lagging, I think it is only a matter of time; I still think this is as clear a signal as there is out there. POMO or no POMO, this divergence continues to grow. My FAZ re-lost nicely on the day  Biggest news of the day, I did a Cos profit skim of my IRA - sold what profits I had in PCX $25.50, CHK $27.90, CLF $87.50, STEC $21.25, and MVIS $2.34... sold enough so that I am back down to standard starter positions; MVIS avg now $.50/sh while PCX and CLF avgs now under $0/share. If they go to $0, I have still made money on them  I now have cash equal to 6.5 positions, but I will remain cash for a bit other than adding to V (which I anticipate doing tomorrow). Monopoly World / real time entries tracked in blog Big Cap [/url] - no moves, weak day -3.7% I remain 3% long, 97% short, and after today's move I have another margin call overnight  Scalp Trades - no moves, account down 6% and FAZ continues to be way underwater. It is getting well beyond stupid for me to continue holding that; despite knowing that, I hold on... Options Acct [/url] - no moves, SPY $126 jan puts driving themselves into the ground, account down -34.8% on the day  All in all, accounts were down -4.9% on the day
