So after the first four months of this year, I actually had a profit of $3039.89. Then the flash crash and my new learning curve began. At first I fought the new trend, then I tried to learn how to short the market with live money instead of paper trading. Let’s just say that July…
Month: October 2010
Would I buy my own 7 stocks Monday?
FFIV, just reported earnings last week and blew the numbers out to the good side. There is no overhead resistance, it is in an uptrend, it just broke above the last high of $112.05. It is above the 30 week ma on the weekly chart. It is above the 8 and 21 days ma on…
Weekly update on markets, Oct, 29, 2010
The S&P 500 was up a measly .18 points and not even worth a % point. As measly as it looks, the beginning of the week we almost hit 1200 when we reached the weekly high of 1196.12. Everyday after Monday we floated down or sideways. So is this the top? It got me thinking,…
October is done, where does time go?
After looking at the futures last night and again this morning, I really thought that the market was going to be down and my stocks were going to tank. I was a bit tempted to turn on the news and start to listen what was driving the market and then I thought better of it.…
Yesterday FFIV, today LVS up 8.7%
The Dow 30 is looking a little shaky after todays close and gave me a second day red flag. The S&P had a slight gain and the NASDAQ also had a gain. I’m getting some mixed signals on the market, so I will stay invested and tighten my stops, and will watch my retirement account…
FFIV was nice to me today!
Todays market was mostly down across the board in all markets. But by 1:30pm the S&P500 came roaring back to finish above the $1173 support at $1182.45. The daily chart on the S&P flashed a red candle today, RSI and MACD look to be rolling over, but volume still looks pretty good. At one point…
I deserved this, plus I worked for it.
Well today is the second day in row I got a nice pop in my Portfolio. My portfolio popped another 52% in unrealized profit. LVS was on fire today up $1.55 a share which doubled my profit in one day. FFIV was also up $1.71 but the difference in price per share and how many…
Nice little push
The S&P500 came charging out of the gate today reaching it’s peak by 10 am @ 1196.14. After that impressive push out, she floated in waves all day to settle into a close of 1185.62. Another gain of 2.54 points. I still believe we will run to 1219.70 before it stops and reverses. The other…
Remember this? Now we buy!
Remember the blog post on why we use a stop loss? The direct link to that article is here. After the close last Thursday and Friday, Hook has increasing volume and price is accelerating and it appears it is in a trend reversal. Notice all the Red bars in the declining trend from it’s high?…
One more look at my personal trading this week.
I got stopped out of 7 positions this week, 5 losers and 2 winners. Unfortunately money wise, I came out on the short end. Losers totaled ($708.69) and winners totaled $198.83 for a total loss of $509.86. Now let’s say that as of Friday morning I still held those positions and closed them at the…
