Down about 10 or 15 dollars.  Did a day trade in my stock account today, I had  83 cents  on the trade and  no way was I  gonna let it disappear.  And yes I have a "post it" counting the trades for me so I don't go into big bad SEC land for too many day trades and not enough money. 
Speaking of having to post my day trade on a "post it"
I'm not listing this broker on my links (on the side over there-to the right) because---you have to put in your own costs, your own share numbers--etc, etc,  it really is ridiculous.  They charge you 4.95 a trade and want you to do all the calculating.  They tell you what you did today, but don't carry a running total on your P&L unless you start putting in you own numbers.

AND NOW FOR THE GOOD BROKERS:
Wells Fargo-either owe them enough money or have enough in your accounts and they will give you 100 free trades a year.  I opened a stock account and an IRA with them and they gave me 200 free trades a year.  Totally unexpected--Good Job Guys
INTERACTIVE BROKERS:  Mostly 1 dollar a trade (it goes up for larger share sizes) for me I would have to trade thousand share lots just to pay what other brokers are charging.  But below  a certain number of shares--it is a dollar a trade.  They are lightening fast--truly my shares are bought and sold by the time my finger comes off the mouse.

I was trying to stall while my new video uploaded, it is called how to get some of the Gorilla's picks for free.  It is worth a look-you won't get in trouble--they list them for you on their website.  You won't even have to fill out anything or even tell them you stopped by.

Robot:  10 winners, 4 losers, minus 24.64
Today he got caught in the oil numbers--he went long right before they were released and it cost him 130 dollars to have that spike down and reversal within 2 minutes.  He is just lucky that he did not also put on a short during the reversal.

Other stuff: let's see-have I mentioned how fricking cold it is here in Alaska?, wait, I don't live in Alaska.  It is colder here anyway. 
Turning the six pack into a kegger? I'm not sure I can remove candy from my meal list during Christmas.  Nor am I sure I can eat healthy foods.  But I am still doing the workouts.
