Not a great day for the first day of May. I was most interested to see if the spectacle going on would have a market impact, and so far as I can tell it did not. As I mentioned to Jack in the bull/bear thread from last night, UBL had become irrelevant.  No trades today. I couldn't find anything really appealing.  Hope everyone made some money today and will do so tomorrow. Members, please post your results along with your RDA of smileys!  |

Portfolio took it on the chin today but not freaking out. Yet.  The biggest decline was seen in AAU. Thank God it is a smaller position. I added to it today at 4.65. This thing went from a breakout stock to a sitting on 50 day support stock in 3 days. Yowza!  Fair amount of paper losses in WNR and NGD today.  Encouraged by my two newest positions in DAC and GMXR.... America's victory today overshadowed any portfolio declines and I am able to take it in stride.  |

No trades today. I couldn't find anything really appealing. Same here...kinda in no mans land atm....nothing looks appealing enough to buy or short....market could go either way. Back to green on LVS on the ride from 46.xx to 36.xx |

It was a modest up day slightly less than 1/2% up. On Friday I had expiring LVS calls that were 3 cents in the money and they auto-exercised. Those shares got sold 80 cents higher. Did another LVS scalp on top of that. Bought back some Friday short $45 puts and sold some friday $50 puts. Did something similar with regular May puts. Bought another 5k shares of MPEL. Looking forward to announcements tonight and tomorrow after the close.
