What a turn of Events….6/29/10

Well after getting an all clear signal to go long in the stock market two weeks ago, it looks as though it was just a head fake. This happens time to time and you just got to roll with it. If the current week ends below 106.77 we will officially have a new down trend…

Current positions all Long

Like I said in the Weekly update post, I think I might have been given a head fake, but because I got a go long signal I made some buys. I went long or bought shares in the following stocks. AAPL, ABC, BIDU, CLH, CTSH, and ORLY. After 5 days on holding these positions, I…

My short position updates.

For the first time in my life I started to short stocks and currently all positions have been closed out. I was charged no fees nor was I charged any margin interest because I always had the cash to cover my positions. I learned that I like shorting stocks much more than I do playing…

Weekly update for 6/25/10

I’m back from my one week vacation from Florida and it looks like I picked a good week to not look at the market or news. Not to say that I didn’t check the market while on the road, because I would be lying if I said I didn’t. What I learned is that I…

Weekly update ending 6/11/2010

After a rough start Monday, the S&P 500 made a steady climb the rest of the week. I thought for sure that I would be pulling my retirement account monies out of the C and into the G, but not so. We actually moved back above the 50 week MA but we still have work…

Safe for another Week

After today’s rally into the SPY or S&P500, no matter what happens Friday I will not be moving any money out of the C-fund in my retirement account. We had a 3% pop which was enough to cross and end on the 50 week MA. Who knows how long it will run or old up,…

Rest of the week plan.

To say I’m a little disappointed in the SPY(S&P 500), is an understatement. I really do not want to move my retirement account out of the index, but I see no choice in the matter if I stay true to the rules. If the the entire weekly trading bar is below the 50 week MA…
