Up on good news from the Fed or the technical Opex bounce. I'll have to run the numbers over the weekend.  No trades today, satisfied with existing positions, although I missed some good plays for sure. It was a grind up day, and on those days it's hard to engage.  Hope everyone made some money today and will do so on Monday. Members, please post your results along with your RDA of smileys!  |

Nice day for me - up almost $50k. Did some LVS scalping (successfully for a change) and wrote some Sep $31 calls.

Sold slightly OTM covered calls against FAS, TYH, and ERX positions for modest premiums. One set of FAS covered calls expiring 9/3 and everything else for 9/18.
These were the only trades this week. Now the market will probably go on an extended rally and my shares will get called away and I'll lose out on some of the upside.

Glorious day for me! up 7% on my portfolio; the day started out doomy because I bought a basket of bear etfs then suddenly I covered for a small loss at pre-market and jumped long on Fas, Usb, and Wfc. Booked gains and I am 100% cash for the weekend although Im tempted to buy long in ah for mutual fund Monday.
Have a great weekend everyone! Time to drink some merlot!

The bear bus went on without me, and not a moment too soon maybe. Because now it looks like it's about to go drive itself off a cliff. I love those starts to rallies when the bears and bulls alike agree that there was no good news at the root of it. They all sell into it together and watch it move up. Quite the significant day if you ask me. The Bears are who we thought they were! |

No trades..
Unrealized gain of 13K, mostly from CENX..
My self imposed deadline to have 60K-65K realized gain by 08/31 ( 2 weeks, 6%) is fast approaching.. I am still short. Let's see what next 2 days have to offer..
