I expected to come back to a complete rout - and sure enough, there it was. Looked promising several times during the day but the bulls just don't have any commitment yet, so we will continue to see selling of rallies.  No change to anything today.  Hope everyone made some money or protected whatever is left and will do so tomorrow. Members, please post your results along with your RDA of smileys!  |

Bit of a whiplash day for the market. I lost a bit but not a whole bunch as LVS is FINALLY separating its performance from the overall market. It finished the day slightly lower but not by much. Actually managed a couple of profitable scalps today - go figure.

Lucked out with the miners, who knows why they are rallying when everything else is falling apart, they are Equities. Gains were cut in half by close even so. Both silver and gold closed strong, but esp. silver. Yesterday PM was sorry I had gone cash with some l-t holdings, today I'm mighty glad.

In and out of a SPY call. In big with SPXU again. 8000 shares now. Also a SPY long put at 111 that triggered. Loaded and ready for back test of 1101 tomorrow.

Going higher he said. Buy on any dip unless QEIII is announced and then get the F out. lol |

Couldn't find shares of FAZ, so my final pull on the bank trade was long some FAS shares @ $13.56. The short FAZ half of the trade is still slightly green thanks to the huge decay yesterday. I got no more bullets so I gotta wait

No trades today....had to deal with self inflicted power interruptions in my computer room...replacing a ceiling fan....ooh this one has a remote, and I can run on high without fear of decapitation.
Surprised by my very wet PCS...unlost 2.5% on it today.

"Egad - not sure for tomorrow. " Im a real shit anit I? |

I got no more bullets so I gotta wait Doesn't that suck Bros? I've gotten burned a couple of times trying to add to my short scam position and couldn't due to "no shares available". This is the main drawback of shorting etfs... |
