Had a nice day with MOBI closing up 22.31% in the normal trading session. I'm simply astounded. I continue to SOL with SOL - but it's holding minimal support.  No change in positions, but up nicely because of the MOBI thing. I will post the chart later as it's important to understand what's next for it.  Hope everyone made some money today and will do so tomorrow. Members please post your results along with your RDA of smileys!  |

Looks like I ended the day down a fraction of a percent. Scalped some VXX puts and finished up long puts. Ground out a call scalp in LVS and finished up longer at the end of the day. Long tons of delta and gamma. All in all happy as long as the world doesn't explode overnight.

Bought a little PCX and it closed right at my buy point.
Had huge orders in for more PCX, but just canceled them after hours. Market just about flat for 2 days in a row after last week's big run scares me more than a major down day would have.

This is what made me close 2 of 3 scalps This beautiful bull flag would not pop while the market was open. Are there really no buyers? That scares me. Attachments:

Market just about flat for 2 days in a row after last week's big run scares me more than a major down day would have. Something wrong w/ it catching its breath? Nope, and perhaps you are right. Maybe I'm just a little jumpy. Normally a pause wouldn't bother me, but last week the sp broke strongly through quite a bit of resistance, the 50 and 100dma's, and formed bull flags on the end of the run; all with no real backtests and no great surprise fundamental news that I can think of. Also the last few months have formed H&S patterns, that lead to an iH&S pattern, which lead to another H&S pattern which lead to another iH&S... You see where I am going with this. The last time I remember seeing this was a very similiar looking large H&S pattern in 2008. (one large H&S made up of many smaller H&S and iH&S patterns). I remember Oscar pointing this odd scenario out sometime soon after it started falling. Just too many 2008 like things happening (big spike in oil, bonds selling off, insider selling, multiple H&S and iH&S patterns, etc.) to keep me from being comfortable. I'll just wait in cash a little longer until we see a break either way. I promise, I'll stop posting doom and gloom thoughts though. I hate reading them too.  |
