Thanks guys! And that was my first entry! Skill or beginners luck? (sly grin) Want to say thanks to Fastopia and all of you traders for helping me to learn all of this stuff. Although my Joined Date is recent, I have been watching Fastopia since day one, and watching most of your posts ever since the old FMB days (still miss Chickenheads comic routines). Many of you guys have helped me to learn charting and fundamentals to a level that I would never have imagined. This TVIX pic was fundamental (it performed almost identically at the end of last quarter too). Has more to do with carry-over of quarterly puts than charts, and only works in a down-trending market. Don't buy it now, should fall some now because of contango and option carryover completion. Unless there is a Black Swan event that is. Best thing is, I owned TVIX and sold it today. Double-bonus! (should of and wanted to sell yesterday at the touch of the sp 200dma, but wasn't at the computer).  [end soap box scene] |

Daffy stomps the genie back into the bottle
Daffy Duck: MINE! DOWN! DOWN! GO! GO! MINE!
A burst of flame erupts from the bottle, and Daffy is blown off
Genie of the Lamp: Duck, you have desecrated the spirit of the lamp!
Bugs Bunny peers out, then sneaks back to his rabbit hole
Genie of the Lamp: Prepare to face the consequences!
Daffy Duck, walking away: Consequences, schmonsequences, as long as I’m rich.
The genie shoots lightening from his fingertips and Daffy gets zapped |

Bugs Bunny under an umbrella eating clams at Pismo Beach.
Bugs Bunny, opening a clam: I wonder how that crazy duck ever made out with that genie. (He finds a pearl in the clam) Hey, wadda you know, a pearl!
Daffy Duck, runs out of the tunnel towards the pearl, seemingly unaware that he is tiny (high pitched voice): It’s mine, all mine! You understand?! Mine, mine!! Go, go, go!! (Daffy grabs the pearl and cuddles it) Out! Out! Out! Mine! Mine! Mine!
Bugs Bunny: Oh, brother, oh, sesame.
Daffy Duck: I’m rich! I’m a happy miser! (the clam closes over him)

I feel bad for commod...he was going to pick the same one but was just a few minutes later than me.
Like I told him, I was typing like a teenage girl on my iphone knowing that someone else might get in before me. Definitely lucky on the timing.
And thank again Cos, Taj and Ask!

Congrats to the winners! I was betting on today's PDUFA date for ACUR, but I just missed it. There's a supposed email from someone at the FDA Office of Public Affairs saying that the drug is approved, which would have been good for a nice pop. Too bad it hit after market close. Day late and a dollar short |

I was really worried for my sake in the contest that they would get approval before the close today. |

I just read the Gekkowire post papa...whether really true or not that would have popped the stock for sure. That was a really close one.

Thanks. I was really debating about holding this until Monday, but this thing can also go down even faster. Especially if it runs into a quarter end contango.
Also not sure what to expect with the double POMO Monday. I have been shorting big POMO days successfully, but two large POMO buys in one day scares me either way. I wonder if the gov is expecting some bad news by then, or if they just want one last large push up before QE2 is over.
Could be the perfect storm for a capitulation Monday though (long or short).

Shorts have been winning for the last six weeks, so I don't see them capitulating on Monday  . Taking profit maybe, but not capitulating. I'm short VXX calls, so I'm hoping TVIX falls like a lead balloon. |

Well, winning would have been nice, but VXX is down nicely today, and I'm making some money, so I can't be upset. Even better, I closed out my SVNT and LDK positions last week, and both of those are down, so I can be even happier I dodged a bullet. Maybe next time!

That's great. I hadn't even checked TVIX today, glad I got out of that one. Sold around $26.45. Should have been out just under $29.00, but that's what I get for not sitting at my computer all day, every day last week |
