No trades today as well. Was tempted to jump right into BIDU and/or AAPL, but decided to hold my GOOG position because it's showing no signs of weakness.
Watching BIDU, AAPL, BAC and AVNR (My potential Bio play) very closely.

No trades. Still holding my aapl $280 weekly call option I bought for $23.60 a contract.
It closed today at $39.30.
So if aapl hits it out of the park I will be happy tommorro.

Booked nice profit on FAS shares sold today - Bought back some FAZ - Closed out a negative position on YRCW on a surprising up swing today (I'm such a sucker for Yellow - Their HQs are half-mile from my front door - May buy back in if they hit low $3's) - Still holding (dreaming of) MVIS - Hope all fared well and see you tomorrow - Exalt to Abdog for his unbelievable dedication/support for Fastopia!!!

My PCX covered call position was exercised over the w/e, made 8%. My AAPL DEC 320 Calls, bought today, not looking real good at the moment, but that is why I went with the Dec's.

Real Life - FFR was bullish for 2nd day in a row (strong sign) to .20%, and I think it is important to remember that it typically tops before the market. Bulls should have substantial warning signs. This is one of the reasons I'm having a hard time even trying to look for a top yet. FAS is slowly becoming a long term hold but it is still well green  Monopoly world tracked in the blog - very slow day as I just watched my accounts grind higher ;D Big Cap had a strong day +3% thanks mainly due to BAC, WFC, and BIDU. Most importantly, I now have a 12% lead over the market since inception. Only 1 move, bought some more BAC $12.02 (avg $12.17) so now have a 4x long position. 62% long, 38% short Scalp Trades - no moves, account up 12%... I am very happy that I went counter-strategy and held on to my FAS I got trapped in rather than sell EOD Friday for monster 5.x% loss just because of a "rule"/ strategy. It is now only down .6% Options Account +2% on the day, only 1 move -day traded SPY $116 weekly calls $2.35 to $2.77 / 17.8% All in all, accounts +5.5% on the day |

Got out of all AAPL calls this am; for once, the fact that I have only 10K to roll helped me...300 is a lot of money...
Bought ten BAC 12 calls (ITM, for a change) at .55 for tmrw.
GLTA,
