That was a weird day. I wouldn't be thrilled by this action at all. I'm looking at watchlists that are all over the place sector wise. I don't disavow that the Dow was up over 100+ today or that it closed 75+, but I will say that looking at individual issues, it's still kind of a disaster.  Maybe everything bottomed here and we won't re-test 1250 or 1150. That's GOTTA be it lol.  No trades today. Watching, waiting, getting ready to gobble lol. Hope everyone made some money today and will do so tomorrow. Members, please post your results along with your RDA of smileys!  |

Looks like my desperation game of buying weekly calls is going to blow up in my face this week - unless tomorrow is a monster up day. I always knew it was excessively risky. As I've pointed out before I have to take monster risks with my after tax account. Well - let's see what happens tomorrow - then it's off to Vegas where I am the keynote speaker at the Fastopia summer convention - also the usher - and the only attendee. I took off the june options that expire next week so as to be somewhat calmer next week. Depending on what happens tomorrow, I'll probably take a fairly small position into next week. When I get back I can reevaluate and decided whether or not to top up the after tax account again by liquidating an IRA or to look more vigorously for a job. (Cobra runs out in 2 months too - so maybe getting a job with health insurance isn't such a bad idea.) Down 1/2% today.

I was figuring an open bar and buffet, Jack.
D-Man, that's a rough wrap there and I can positively identify with some of your concerns and throughout the years I have them regularly. Whatever you decide - best of luck.
