Ok so at BearDaysInARow=4, once again, on CUE, the buy-bots took off and started buying again. This day started down and doomy, but it wasn't long before it reversed.  This is exactly the "programmed" "algorithmic action" that has defined the market. It won't be long before they crash this theorem, but until then I'll exploit the living heck out of it to my cash benefit.  Bought DRN today.  Hope everyone made some money and will do so tomorrow. Members please post your results along with your RDA of smileys!  |

Bought a thimbleful of GLD puts last Friday for .52, too high. It went down to .20 Monday. Sold them for between 1.60 and 2.80 over the past few days, approximately. I did this in my belief that it would be appropriate to short the Fed minutes since all the Fed speakers were downtalking QE since Bernanke's ill advised comments week ago Monday. Too bad I didn't get those .20's, eh. I'd be rich but I deemed it a high risk small position trade. Happy Easter, Happy Passover. We're going for a surprisingly good and enormous sushi and Japanese food buffet this weekend for Easter/Passover dinner.  And maybe to see this movie: movies.yahoo.com/movie/jiro-dreams-of-sushi/ |

short 17 VXX calls working against me - 50 contracts - unrealized loss of $,1200 (taking AH activity into account)
long TBT shares also working against me - unrealized loss of $3,100 (taking AH activity into account)
there is very little premium on TBT calls - can't even sell covered calls while I am behind..
