Heading off to Napville to see if I can avoid the road to Headacheville.  Market still stuck in weekly Opex mode, so not much is interesting.  Did a quick .10 short scalp on AFFY.  No other trades. Hope everyone makes some money today and will do so tomorrow. Members, please post your results along with your RDA of smileys!  |

Covered half my ARNA EOD here @ 7.03 for -.01 on the trade.
I will hope to re-enter on a pop tomorrow. Chart looks like it's ready to rollover, but wanted to free up a little cash for potential AH trading.

Basically a nothing day for the Dow. I was down a little - less than 10k - driven largely by my LVS position. The position which I claim not to be an attractive short at $29 - yeah maybe it'll slide to $27 for a while but no further. Overall market reaction seems kind of blah - I think we're still in a bull market until I see clenched buttocks out there.

Bought AAPL weekly $250 calls for 11.30 and sold for 11.70 3:59:56. I could have gotten 12 for them but I waited to long.
I violated my rule yesterday on not holding weekly's overnight and therefore my trade today pretty much put me even.
Had Fas calls from a couple of days ago that I closed out today since they were loosing me money.
Bought one SPY $114 weekly put for 1.47. This is just for kicks.

Lame week for me. I am going back into hiding lol.. did well with ARNA and then went back to even with PCLN put. Just bad trading habits and not getting good setups. What gets me is that the calls on PCLN have been incredible gainers....i think i blinded myself, so back to the drawing board for a while.. I will Be full time again in a few weeks.
GL all

arghhhh, a stock on my radar that I was gonna buy last week (SOLR) jumped .87 today... i HATE when that happens! weird day... narrow range trading again. this energy is gonna go somewhere, but will it be down or up? are the horrendous job numbers baked in? they are already saying the non farm numbers will not be good tomorrow. is having a job so..... 20th century? no -1000 tick readings yet this month... odd and not good. no yin to the yang. when we get some, it could be an earthquake. bonds are range bound... where are they going? got pushed back at resistance. anyway, don't know which way this market is going to run. don't know if bonds and stocks will strike up a relationship again as they have been disconnected. bought some BGZ for the helluvit... blue |

one trade sold 100 Aug SDS 29 calls for 2.40 - 20 cents profit i.e. $2,000 profit. Still holding 31K shares of AMAT.. Why so deep ITM calls on SDS? I see $0.21 extrinsic value in those currently. Aggressively bullish stand; I like. |

Aggressively bullish stand; I like. Now you will hate me.. These were not naked short calls... but in fact sell to close naked long calls.. I have been trading them for last 2-3 days and have been lucky.. I was mini bear on S&P for last 2-3 days.. |
