I'm green for September!  oooo  yeah!!!!!

green + 23

added SMTC @ 20.04

Should have grabbed my profit in ADTN, which made me think as much as I'm expecting the down turn, I should have taken a  lot off the table.....eh, just hanging in there,,, hoping for more.

Jobs numbers tomorrow...now I really think I should have dunped my holdings......

green + 4

Now there's some trading for ya...
I'm still stuck on the daily S&p chart and waiting for the drop....

Trying to hang on to the profits and make it to the end of the month with my profits still intact

red -14

added IPXL @ 19.68
out INTC + .16

green + 187 Thursday +20

out TRW + .41
It is going to be harder to hang on to my positions when I start working on larger share sizes.  I won't be use to the larger dollar fluctuations.  And small stops will mean a lot more on the dollar amounts.  I'm going to have to learn a whole new way of trading....or maybe not....I'm so confused...wait....what?
                                                         

 I almost forgot.....It's Friday....I can't trade for two days...I really should get me some kind of entertainment for the weekends!

Other Stuff:

I bought some antennas, (the proper word here would be antenni, you know the plural of antenna)  so I can  guy up my truck a bit.  No one's working out today....cause we aren't afraid of what the cookies look like on us....as long as we can still roll out of bed , what's it matter...Hey getting through the door sideways is still getting through the door.  

I still crack my self up

added IDCC @ 27.88

out AGP + 1.66

red -159

added ADTN @ 34.42
3 bad YM shorts for -39 points....ouch!

I think I should stop trading the futures.....

I need to make more money.....will start to work on a double my share sizes plan...wish the  charts were at a low point...but I don't have to do the double right away....maybe just an add to existing shares....or something like that







Other stuff:   But still work stuff....gotta pull down an ice machine at night, put it back up the next day, do payroll all in two days...so no Thursday market for me, but I'll still be working, oh say, 20 hours on Thursday.....ya, I'm screwed

green + 55

out KRA + .86    I let it drop a buck on me...this thing moves wildly and I didn't want to sit through anymore of it's large swings


This chart is still controlling  my emotions to not buy any new positions here....hmmm....do triple tops usually breakout to the upside?  FOMC  tomorrow will probably run the day...what do I know?

Other Stuff:  eh not really...just more work stuff...I broke a part at work on a piece of equipment that they just can't do without, so instead of doing the overnight shipping and waiting another day....I am driving out to Boulder to get the part....Driving is fun, but taking me away from my stock trading sucks....but really got no choice

green + 7

Triple top on the S& P  odds here aren't so great for the uptrend...but hey, there's still 14 or so points to go up

out ILMN + 3.33

It is hard to add positions at this level, so I kinda sat the day out and made sure nothing went crazy on me.

And I just realized it's Friday, no trading

Bring on the Pig

green +143

out 2/3 GE + .71
all out HMIN + 4.59

out ALTR + .53

guess my stop game on the right....

green +30

added POL @ 10.71
out 1/2 HMIN + 5.72
out PWER - 1.25

 a ton of Gorilla Trades must of had their stop hit...it was just a lucky mistake I had my stop in a couple of cents higher than the recommended stop

FREE Gorilla Trades

Almost entered a YM trade, but it didn't catch my price and left me behind.....but it quickly reversed....might have been a loss.




my youtube page

red -22

added PWER @ 11.47

It went like this:
short first orange circle,
covered short first white circle for a 84 dollar loss
went long at first white circle
sold red circle
went short 2nd orange circle
covered short at second white circle
TOTAL: 4 YM points profit :-)

I was feeling kinda bad after that first short just ripped up on me.

Now the markets closed and I got a half smile for getting back the YM money and a  half  frown for ending the day down.

green +425

out ENTR + 1.12     nice!..my biggest holding
out DGX +  1.36
out BAC + .30
out WHR - 14.23  way past any sane stop loss here
out MCD + 1.51
out SVR + .75

 A close cousin to the guess my stop game...this one is called "man was that close"....a penny away from stoping me out on this one

Okay, okay...so here's a real guess my stop game.  And, of course, as always, there will be no prizes.

I forgot the pig on Friday, just about missed the dow chart today(no capital D and it says you spelled it wrong....I'm just tired....but I'm still here doing what I love)

Other stuff:  Only 3 hours of sleep, so I'll be wimping out on today's workout.  I finished another item on my list.

red -135

out AVGO -2.58
out COP + .63

ENTR tried to kill me it's my largest holding and look at that stupid dump this morning....it came back yeaaaaa


TRW (my third largest holding) is putting out more shares and did kill me.....  down 1.90 

The power went out 3 times today....but this time I had all my accounts on the right screens....but one of my internet providers went out, so tonight I'll try to figure that out.  This is much better than the first time a power blackout  happened,  when  I couldn't find half of my accounts, now all 4 of my accunts are still visable and working with the power out.

Green +17

added ENTR @ 8.65
added BAC @ 13.62
added ENTR @ 8.48

Account went from beat my daily goal...to red...to just barely hanging in the green....a rollercoaster with emotions.

I've been stepping into higher share lots lately this month...5 to 10 times my normal amount.  While still small by anyone's standards they are huge to me.  Watching things on the down side will be extremely difficult for me.  Usually 50 down will make me cry, 100 down causes me to pass out.  But mostly it is terrible to see someone brag about being up over 200, when I bought the same stock cheaper and am only up 14, but the downside scares me.
So what do ya say....let's gap up a hundred points tomorrow!

Other stuff:  Looks like no muscle building today....guess I'll get to finsih payroll tonight, and maybe I'll pick up some stuff for the trash bin...maybe some primer for the house too.  Right now the winning color for the house is Arabian Sands.

green +32

That was a tough one, but I'm green, just kinda feeling let down
out GS + 3.25
out ICE -8.90
a short gone bad (up)  who let this thing get that far away?  almost 9 bucks a share...grrrrr

added ILMN @ 44.94

red -115

added SMG @ 49.34

added SNPS @ 23.71
added GE @ 15.45
added DGX @ 45.90 (Rockstar's kickass trade of the week)
         S&P....  meet the trendline.......a breakout or a downturn?  I'm hoping for the breakout to the upside.
4 points on a YM short...wow....finally had a winning futures trade

 Today went by so fast








Other stuff:  Crossed another item off my list.  That would be staining the fence.  And I poured some concrete for another item on the list.  Thought that Labor Day weekend would get me caught up...but I'm still behind...but a whole lot closer than I was...a whole lot!  ( I can see the desk and floor in my office again...well most of them)

-13 YM points on a short
Short on the YM at a low...10398....I'm just being stupid now

I'm considering myself lucky to be green today with these two YM trades.

Other Stuff:  It's a catching up on paperwork and scrubbing the stores kinda weekend. At least that's my plan.  It's a 3 day weekend. 3 whole days of not trading...I'm gonna be going through withdrawels while everyone else is out partying.....

green + 43

Green, I'll take it :-)
added KRA @ 27.74
out CLX +.74

It's the guess my stop game!!!  (on a personal note...it's like they are out to get my stop...it's like they know...how I hate putting in stops....but it needs to be done to save the profit...but why do they always gotta reverse right after they take me out?  why?

Other Stuff:  Did everyone's computer's  freeze today?  Two at work that I know about (within minutes of each other) and both mine here at home....Somebody's up to something......
JUST GOT A MEMO ESET NOD antivirus release an update that caused everyone running ESET to freeze computers
