Need some powerful window dressing this month and it seems to be happening. Don't know if we'll sell of prior to the holiday - feels like there could be some.  I had some nice few-percentage-points gains today on most of my holdings it was a broad day for the markets. AIG at 7.5% is my biggest winner. BAC calls are dying, as I expected. I invested about the cost of an Overdraft Fee so I'm not really that upset.  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!  |

Shorted UPRO Sept 17 $50 Calls against long position for $7.90. Hoping calls will expire worthless again as they did in August.

I voted bull on a purely contrarian basis. I don't see any goodness of an economic nature.
Worked on more leaky skylights today.

Good day - my trading accounts hit and closed at all time highs today as did my monopoly world acct. Who says they're unrelated? ;D Notably, the monopoly account hit and closed above the +100% gains mark for the first time since inception almost 1 year ago (9/7/10)! LNKD and RIMM were beasts today.. only red positions now are my VXX and GOLD shorts   Took some profits everywhere which makes me think I'm wrong and that we still have much higher to go in the very short term. Real life, covered 3/5 of my FAZ short position w a double unit close at $54.05 and single unit close $53.30. Made almost 30% on that batch, still holding the rest for now And in monopoly world too, allocation moved to strongly cash (I've never had so much as a dollar value [$3.4M in buying power]) ALLOCATIONS LONG 51.45% SHORT 9.41% CASH 39.14% 100.00% |
