Green + 6

The end of the month and I'm green.   oh ya
Wasn't gonna take any chances today, profit protection mode, end the month green...that's about all that mattered today.

Lost my back up internet today. Had to give it to a store who's router crashed.  In just the past week alone those stores have had two of my monitors and my router, one has had my monitor for about a year now, and I've spent a week of buying and installing parts.  Repairs have really gotten out of hand lately.

Thought I would buy this Belkin router as a replacement--but then I read something about it that I couldn't believe...it has a clock on it, and every two hours it disconnects you from the internet to update the time...Wow, could that ever ruin a trade quick!  So I have the weekend to get a new router (not a Belkin).

And with that weekend scheme....no trading for days....how's that make me feel....show em pig

Other stuff: My Scary Halloween

Green + 44

out SVR +.76
     and 15 minutes later SVR is halted...wonder if  I missed the upside or the downside?

AND HERE IT IS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!    UP OVER 7 BUCKS A SHARE    It's kinda of a laughing sad.....with a lot of cussing

covered AAPL short  6.55 a share profit
covered BJ short  .64 a share profit
out IT + .14

Green + 28

out IGTE + 1.28
    could not wait for the 9:50 reversal
out INTC + .26
out SMTC + .72
out SMT + .85

Again with the not taking profits in AAPL, BJ....I don't know...they are shorts and I just have this feeling about the down side ...  I just write about them because I hate watching things reverse on me when I have a profit

2 days to go till the end of October    Hang on to the profits time

Green + 82

Almost panicked out of ADTN this morning
out LULU +.49 
This thing was way too volatile  for me, so I had to exit as soon as I saw it turn green
out ADTN + .98 
just couldn't let it drop again on me
out CVLT + 2.16

The rest of the day for ADTN


Did not take a 50 cent gap up in ADBE...and I should have
Did not take a 3 point drop in AAPL...and I should have
   (COULDA, WOULDA, SHOULDA,) okay...I'm just dreaming


And ATHR Screamed up over a buck...but this is a bad thing to type...cause the rule is stay away from earnings...it was better to bag my profit yesterday.  But yesterday I had mentioned the big gap down after close--so now I mention the big gap up.

Other stuff:  Too sick to workout today, sooooooooooooo, a little more of work stuff and I'm going back to bed

Green + 80

out NNI + .76    would always drop off after profit
out ATHR + 1.93  earnings after close, so I had to sell it today

 And 4 days to go in October...I can't think of anything brilliant to write here....

check out the spike down after close...really happy I didn't hang around for earnings now

Green + 142

out CPO + .49
added ADBE @ 28.23 with new larger share size Rockstar pick

Other stuff:  Today moved so slow.....and it's Friday....so no trading for the weekend...so bring on the pig !!

Red -53

trying to shift over to profit protection mode...but it is difficult to put stops on my winners, but everyone with a dollar is out there with a stop...except for BRKB
My account value is all over the place today---do I say it?---a sign for me that a down turn is coming...aaahahahahahah....I been saying downturn for weeks and the market has just kept going up

out OI + .47
out ILMN + .59
out F + 1.51
out PAY + 1.74
out IPXL + 1.20
short BJ @  42.39
short AAPL @  308.72
out COP + 2.99  with a dollar trail...man o man

With higher share amounts those 50 centers'  would be nice gainers
I'm just going to have to bump up my share sizes...a lot of holdings with 50 cent gains I just don't want to cash in...hope I don't get burnt on the downside...I need to push for more profits, so bigger share sizes, and bigger risk (the flip side-don't ya hate it)

Green + 174

added CPO @ 39.75 Rockstar's pick and a Gorilla Trade from Aug

Red - 113

Red - 13

added PAY @ 29.25
added CVLT @ 27.12
I thought about putting up a chart to show why I picked a stock....but when I look at yesterdays' list from my chart work...most of my picks did really bad
Gotta up the share size and wanna day trade.....I need some better chart work

Green + 11

added SVR @ 23.25
added IGTE @ 18.78
     did not check earnings ... got burnt on IGTE used last nights' chart work and didn't even know I bought it on a spike...got a 63 cent stop on it
Should have taken my 30 cents on INTC

Green + 10

added BAC @ 13.25
not enough profits for me to bail on INTC before the earnings

These small amounts are starting to get to me...Rockstar pulled over a dollar in a few hours...I was there...I didn't trade it...I'd like to make the big bucks soon...cause he's a day dream believer.

Green + 18

Broke my own rule about not holding into earnings  and
added INTC @ 19.74
added VRX @ 27.34
Just not keeping up with my stuff and chart work...and the market didn't go down like I thought....ya....like I know what's going on
Had a meeting, quarterly payroll reports due,  excuses, excuses

Other Stuff:  Got a new ab ripper from the p90x workouts...it's 40 minutes long and looks like it hurts a lot.   I got this goal posted on the treadmill...And I'm starting to realize Christmas is  not that far away.
I'd like to fix my whole life...Farmer Bob is back again this year, and hopefully he will be a success this time.  And to fix my life...a bunch of other stuff....huh...catchy title....Other Stuff

Green + 38

I'm still stuck on the market needs to drop here...it keeps me from adding stuff.  And the plan to start buying bigger share lots...that's waiting for a pull back too.


All that's really left...even though my account is just kinda on hold....is to bring on the pig...cause it's Friday...and I can't trade over the weekend.

Red - 5

out 1/2 COP @ +1.74

Don't know if I'm being greedy or what....this morning I wanted to sell everything...they were all green.  It is hard to hold on to stuff right now.  And I'm letting my indecision get the best of me...hope it doesn't cost me.
Think I'll work on payroll to distract myself.

Really should have been trading instead of doing payroll...just didn't want to work past midnight tonight......but really no excuse for not trading

Other stuff:My Bob's other stuff vlog
Finally put that bigger memory card to making videos

Green + 21

Ummm....BAC almost sucked me into buying it today...it has earnings soon...so stay away.

Just don't know what to write...thinking of stops on COP and IPXL for profit protection.

Other stuff:  or not...payroll tonight....Moles or something are tunneling through my front yard, I'm gonna feed em some castor oil or something.  Started feeling better today...topped off the pond, pulled about 10 weeds, and flooded the mole tunnels with about 200 gallons of water.  I dump the water in and minutes later it comes out in another part of the yard.  And the mole be doing the back stroke just smiling. :)

Green + 91

out TIE + .37    ...a gorilla trade gone bad that finally recovered..it had gone green for me twice and on this green I put in a tight trailing stop

nice up day...Hope everyone was long.

Other stuff:  Trying to set up a new YouTube page, but it seems only one YouTube per email.  Wish they would have mentioned that 4 tries ago.  Ha...I have a bunch of unopened accounts.  So I finally realize this and add an email account but Comcast won't let me see my new email account until tomorrow, and that new email account has the passcode to start the new YouTube account.
I'm gonna take a shower and spend the last of my money.

Green + 11

added COP for my winter time warming plan
put trailing stops on  3 others (everyone up over a buck)

added SOLR @ 8.41
7 points on a YM short...ya trading the futures....don't know what to say about this

Just baby sitting my holdings today.....uh.....except for that time I went for payroll and helped out in a couple of different places...the short version....I was here for about 3 hours.




Other stuff:  Brad fell off the dip bar and has a nice cut from his ear to his cheek....Just in time for Holloween....His wife ain't gonna let him show up for the workouts any more.....go figure.
