Cosmic's MarketPlace Wrap - 2/26/10

[cosmic]

Voted bull but we got baby bull with lots of strong consolidation for long positions. I bet Dual will say the breadth is looking pretty good.

However, in keeping with the technical trade, since we hit the oval on the chart, here:



I sold FAZ puts to hedge my FAZ short position which was opened at RIFIN 761 area.

No other changes to position today.

Hope you all found the charts helpful during our journey ;D


Hope everyone made some money today and will do so on Monday. Regulars, please post your results and Karma up the person who posted before you.

Slow down day for APWR, very light volume. Holding all into next week.

My daily production is through the roof today though! LOL

[tajmahal9898]

Made some name for myself on the MU board, have a little bit of following there -.. Prompted Fastopia over there and I see few MU members have already joined here.. Now, we need show our real value to the new visitors..

No Major trading today - chickened out on DECK trade for couple of hundred dollars.. Got in when the stock was already up 13%

FAS short puts are up today, so unrealized profit of 10K..


I missed MU closing price by 1 cent (said 9.05, closed at 9.06) - you guys need to teach me better.

[Dualism]

The super bullish action was rejected as T-bond futures, the culprit, was mopping up most of the free cash. It closed ½ point higher at under 119.

The breadth across all US exchanges closed in favor of the advancers by 3702 : 2899.

Opened SQNM Mar 6 puts for .34 and Mar 7 calls for .39
Traded SQNM for 8 cents gain.

The VIX closed lower 3%, and my account closed higher 0.4%.

Remain bullish for Monday.

Added palm down .11c

[trading4dough]

covered drv +4.6%
covered edz +4.5%
covered ery +4.9%
covered faz +5.9%
sold fas +6.0%
sold tna +2.6%

Up $67k (had I moved 5 min earlier would have been lots better)

Bought 30k faz @ $17.59 avg

I have a bad feeling for early monday for some reason and need a hedge

So now the market can gap up cause I lose 75% of the time I buy faz

[ccash04]

Sold all my BIDU 530 calls

Bought/Sold 10k of VSTNQ for a 70% gain, a thank you to CH for that one.

A fantastic day and having a delicious M&M sonic blast to wrap it up!

Well done T4D

[torrentio1]

I saw a market up portfolio up session.

Hope all did well.

;D

Tks Taj

Good calls on the MU

[sloop]

Had a good day . was done by 8:30 Pacific time. made a few quick trades for about 1.5K. Market looked weak so I closed up shop and took Nicholas out for lunch and the park.

[sowolf]

Got my Bear call wrong last night. Bought FAZ puts today to hedge my FAZ position. I suspect Monday (and possibly Tuesday) will be up huge (1st day of the month, and its a Monday - lots of new money in 401Ks and hedgefunds being put to work).

Have a great weekend everyone.

[benvestor]

Finally Sold my C swing for 6.5% gain. I will buy it again around 3.15 or so.

Holding all other previous positions, APWR, NETL, MVIS, DDSS, ZLC-uggg, TYH.. Surprisingly though, up for the day.

Will add to these positions when they reach near bottom, hopefully soon! I play the waiting game now.

I have a similar feeling about Monday as t4d, Mondays have not been good lately, and looks like the health care bill might cause some negative stirring in the near future..

[kryptos2009]

No trades today.

Had a buy/limit in for FAS calls that never hit.

Pondering picking up some FAS in AH.....

Was busy at work today so not much time to check in on things.


What I have seen/read today shows me that we are building a strong dedicated community here in FAStopia.

I want to thank all the regulars for all the excellent posts here and elsewhere on the forums.

To our newer members Welcome Aboard!! Don't hesitate to join in.

GLTA & Have a Great Weekend!!!!

Thanks Jack

Had a GREAT day

Office closed due to the snow in Jersey and

After many losing days learning to day trade ,, had two up days !!

Of course does not make up for the BAD BAD days

TRaded FSLR, LVS and FAS for a great profit.. lost on TSL .. and am now holding some

Will look to buy some FAZ on Monday if it breaks 17 as a hedge for my LVS.. I have no idea on why but when the FINS go down ,, usually LVS follows

After trading posts half the night on LVS ... TEF is I think now convinced finally that I am NOT COSMOS and we have called a truce .... by the way Cosmo's ... I don't think she like you -

Do not know what ever happened to VIX??? He was right on the day trade thing ... have now scaled back my buys to a more tolerable level until I learn a wee bit more

And did not like that FAZ had a big buy at EOD and FAS sold off .... never paid attention before .. is that a normal event ?

[exabi]

Bought 1k RICK @15.05. In the unforgettable words or kbk, I was a "nutless chicken pussy" for not buying a few days ago in the 11's. Up around 3% today, and think it has $1-2 or more in the run.

[commodityypro]

T4 nice trading. $32K FAZ? I thought that FAZ was going to make a new low next week. Your confusing me now bud.

Only action was a FAZ short order that filled at $17.85, I'm now hedged again on my FAS short which I losing patience on.

Have a great weekend!

[Rich]

No trades, basically just screwing around today, playing in the snow.

Market was just boring.

[trading4dough]

Comm

I have a bad feeling for early monday

Its a hedge and a trade I will exit monday...........probably early if the market is down

The last 2x I didnt act

30k x 17.59

[DaveContrarian]

All the stocks I purchased during the previous "correction" (DJIA to 10,000) is now making money ...

Hoping the market goes just a bit higher, so I can sell some ...

[trading4dough]

What are you in Dave?
