In the IRA (which don't count on the daily totals)
added 50 DSX @ 11.99

That dip just before the close looks a lot bigger in real life

Since the Gorilla spilled over into it's 5th screen, I had to move around my charts.  I'm good now for 5 more personals charts and 11 more Gorilla Trades charts ...hmmmm....now if I could get Day Trading Radio to fit on it's half a screen....I need more space
     AVP was just a penny away from taking me out...it was close...but only a dollar today....shooooot hurry up and go down!

Other stuff:  The six pack abs by Christmas sign gets to live for another year...too many Christmas treats for me.
Lift kit for the jeep arrived....I'm learning suspension parts.....hope I don't end up with a 3 legged jeep or something

Out 5 X @ 58.67 + 1.40  (from the IRA)
     once I took a huge loss in WFC...and if I would have held it,  I would have had a profit....so BAC and X finally came back to green for me (after holding  huge losses)....it's not the best way to trade (holding a big loser),   a lot (almost all) of my losers were green once and I never took the profit...ZNH dumped today--glad I took profits yesterday.....It is a strange thing that the hardest part of trading really is taking a profit (this is way different then what I'm used to)  :)

grrrrrrrr......Today's lesson is....
you put those stops in and you can bet a market maker is gonna come and take your money, and then reverse it right after he cashes in on your dollar.....

Other Stuff:  Only 200 short on the lift kit, so I ordered it, hope I can put this thing together without killing my truck :)

Green + 46

Errrr.....I really wasn't paying attention today...counted my 64 and earlier coins.  Trying to get some money together for a lift kit for the Jeep.  So far I'm half way there...but I will have to install it myself....I guess that's part of the fun of lifting a Jeep.  So, really  I spent most of the day day dreaming...ya..."it's wanna be a daytrader"

Other Stuff:  Maybe if I sold some of that junk in the basement I could pay some other bills that are bugging me.

     If I were I daytrader would I have sold everything?  Leaving my longs is kinda tuff...the Rockstar teaches take your profits and move on to the next trade, and at the same time the Gorilla teaches a trade lasts a lot longer and he does have some huge gainers....but...at the same time the Rockstar pockets huge gainers all the time.......ME????  I'M JUST A WANNABE.....I DREAM A LOT

Other Stuff:  I really got to start running more, about 26 days till Christmas, and if I don't get some muscles soon....I'll have to look at my "6 pack abs by Christmas" sign for a wholenother year (you know it is too a word).

Red -123

Two days left....profit protection mode coming on

Two days with no trading....and the depression just gets deeper....maybe I should start trading corn or soybeans, I heard those guys are always up trading.







Other Stuff:  Got rid of  firefox's add ons and it seems to run better...loaded Google Chrome today, just in case.  Tried Google Chrome before and deleted it.   Did 14 hours of manual labor yesterday and I am sore.  (scrubbed and waxed 3 stores, fixed a toilet, replaced a mechanical clock for signs, changed the com port on a pole sign, loaded a dial up backup for and internet connection, cleaned filters on 3 friges, 3 freezers, 5 bains, 5 coke machines, and the furnace at one store caught on fire--you freeze and breathe smoke for hours, I can still taste the smoke...or something  )  Now I've just told you all too much about my life

On the comeback trail....yeeeeeaaaaaaa !!!

Green + 130

ahh green, how I've missed you.

It seems like I'm dealing with the same stuff with the larger share amounts.   I still think-hey, you got 15 dollars, put in your stop. 
Hope this down trending market turns around soon.

Other stuff:  Stayed up way late trying to fix the wifi on the laptop, and as a result I woke up late this morning.  Doesn't make sense to be late to a job you love.
But let's get on with the bitch....Qwest tech says buy a new router, says mine is bad.   This  lasts for hours and through two different tech guys....in the end....I unplugged the router, plugged it back in and it works fine.  And yes, I worked on it for hours and hours and hours.  I'm feeling pretty dumb, and smart at the same time(cause I fixed it all by myself).

out 50 RMD @ 33.63 + .61

Today is just destroying my account
     Mistakes? Not taking profits...had a dollar or more in at least 5 stocks and let them slide into losers...
Today is making me dumbfounded...losing  about a hundred an hour so far...God I need help.

Couldn't find the spirit to buy on the close for the bounce on Monday.
Yesterday my buy at the lows were working, but that evil pattern day trader rule kept me from cashing in...and today I was down too much to start bringing on more risk.

So: Bring on the pig, two days till trading, and my moneys gone
