I think I dated my wrap 2009 yesterday  My only action today was to sell calls on my URE position when we fell off the 6.50 HOD area. I will continue this hedge until continued upward direction is confirmed. I received a .65 premium per share for the March 6's. Here are the latest RIFIN and bond charts, and the bond chart continues to show weakness which should be good for the stock market. RIFIN shows we have made it back to our consolidation area. Hope everyone made some money today and will do so tomorrow. Regulars, please post your results and Smiley your responses up! ;D   |

Sold those FAS march calls for a decent gain. Was looking to get short, then thought better of it. Took a hell of a nice nap and had a dream of living in a superbig house/mansion. Recurring. Wife has them, too. Wierd. Looks like Fastopia is getting bigger, too. Maybe that's where my mansion is.   Hmmmmm...is that big house/mansion you both dream of ALWAYS UNDER CONSTRUCTION??? lol |

Sold my CWS for breakeven and my IMGG for .10 gain.
Bought some more SQNM @ $5.50
Then here in AH I sold some APWR for $1.20 gain on those shares and bought some LVS @ $16.70.
Going into tomorrow with APWR/LVS/MSBT/SQNM
Pretty good day, made 1%.

The bulls proved to be very resilient.
Market breadth was respectfully positive by a ratio of nearly 2 to 1.
The VIX trended lower throughout the session to close lower 2.4%. T-bond futures closed at its lowest price level in over a month.
Added to LVS Feb 17 puts for $.40
Close out 1/5 of FAS Feb 74 calls for $.33
Added to FAZ Mar 20 calls for $1.26
Scalped SQNM for 11 cents
Scalped PCLN for $1.06
Trading account got a lift of 1.7% on the day. I expect erratic action for the remainder of week due to opex influence. GLTA

Clemson, RC, Brosin - Nice trading today!
Sold my FAZ short that I got in @ $20.75 and covered at $19 for a nice gain, considering I'm down in my FAS short which I added a 3rd bullet this afternoon which takes my avg. down to $68. Brosin I think is right in saying that shorts will avg. in here which I think could keep a lid on the upward potential in FAS short term, versus if shorts were to be squeezed, which shouldn't happen unless the jobs# is off the charts crazy.
GL!

I did not do anything today but glance in on the market every now and then not expecting that much meaningful with options expiration going on... It looked like a market flat portfolio down day for me. I still look for VIX below 21 & Transports above 4055 as first indication we do not double dip... Hope all did well.  |

By default url code is:

Change it as so for the text to be hyperlinked:
