Very opex-ish action. Can't play it so I'm mostly watching with my damaged position in SOL. Going to take a stab tomorrow at one other thing ;D No trades today.  Hope everyone made some money today and will do so tomorrow. Members, please post your results along with your RDA of smileys!  |

Now 30% long / 70% short in the paper world - most bullish allocation of 2011 by a long shot
I'm so sick of being a bear - if I'm wrong, people hate me. If I'm right, people hate me.

closed VXX positions, for a realized loss of ~280K, that brings down YTD profit to 15%.
I have pulled all cash out from the trading account except 50K.
I plan to trade with 50K, goal is to recoup this loss by EOY. that is 500% in next 6 months. That would mean very aggressive trading.. if I lose 50K during the process, I will not trade for rest of this year.

Hang in there Brosin...many of us really appreciate your posts. Brosin is not a Doom and Gloomer poster. He posts what he thinks of the market direction using well thought out analysis and opinions. A Doom and Gloomer poster is one who posts consistently that the market is going down without any good reason as to why. Brosin has been more bull than bear over the last couple of years and is just as persistent when bullish. Many would have made a lot of money following his posts this year. Although the market hasn't gone down much; many, many of the widely held stocks have been plummeting all along while indexes have hardly moved. Don't take it personal or to heart Bros, I think that OPEX weeks are just hard on everyone  JMO |

Added some VIX calls and FAS puts this morning. I was in a meeting this morning from 11am to 1pm, and missed exiting my VIX calls when it popped. They are July calls, so I still have time on my side.
Best of luck everyone,
