out 10 UNT @ 59.12 + 2.90

Put in a bunch of stops this today to protect the profits...not what I  wanted to do....but something like UNT
dropping about 2 dollars
from it's high, gives me headaches

have to leave today to deliver paperwork

Other stuff:  but again...first other work...tried  to build a new register Saturday night and I failed, which means Tuesday I get to try again and start even later because of  inventory and a  payroll...maybe I should just wait till next week.  Because working overnight  is how I got 3 hours of sleep on Saturday, which made me miss Sunday...and that means the plants didn't get watered.....finally other stuff!

Green + 210

yea....I'm green

     a stopped gorilla trade
     but it might be time for bargain hunting

UPL busted my stop loss, but I'm still holding...hoping it's just a bad day and a rebound should be coming

I'm back....3 hours late today...too busy with the stores.....did this cost you over 300?   Would you have sold if you were here?   Trying the hold a portfolio plan...I only had stop losses put in....no profit protections stops were put in....sigh

Green + 109

forgot about earnings on UPL...down 2,  dropping like a rock

covered 30 ROVI @ 57.24 + 1.58 (profit)

What? A 3 day weekend....what am I gonna do?....Gotta wait until Tuesday to trade again?......This is depressing.....Who comes up with this holiday stuff anyway?

     hope I'm not late to the party
     thought it would be a day trade
     now it's an investment ahhahahahahaha

Want to work on bigger share sizes...but I'm worried about the market going down....I  sold a lot two weeks ago because I thought the market would go down then...I was wrong

Almost replaced my broken screen last night...but they didn't have it in stock....and this morning the broken screen is working again  :)
Off to meetings, and installing printers.

Other stuff:  Really this time...but I gotta dig deep...bought some 4 wheel Jeep trail books and some jeans.  It's getting closer to spring....I really need to start working out and running again....gotta get rid of some of the winter time blubber.

Green + 24

With no trades to post....I'm thinking I wasted a day.

In hindsight....everyone knew ROVI would blow earnings cause they told us a week or two ago....so why didn't I short the thing yesterday.....ahhh...the mind of a trader who wasn't thinking

Red - 48

added 20 ESE @ 40.37

Other Stuff:  got all the register parts ordered...soooo....why does other work keep getting confused with other stuff...and it keeps taking my time during the trading day?  Didn't even update my watchlist......

Green + 28

out 50 DG @ 27.01 - 1.56

lost a screen today, about 18 charts
....but I spent most of the day getting info to build a new register.....they can be built for less than half the price for a new one.    Ya, what's that got to do with stocks...it's more of a "where did the day go?" kinda thing....  Same thing last week....I gotta start trading more...two picks were over a hundred, and that's too much movement for my account...and the other pick....I don't know why I didn't take a position

other stuff:  off to meetings, tomorrow should have the money to buy the computer for the reg.....but.....that's just other work...not other stuff....errrrrrr( that's what the jeep cd player keeps saying)
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY

Green + 29

most of my time was spent repairing or trying to get past a known bug in quickbooks for payroll
also, still no receipt printer......
and now you really need the directions  I left with the stores,  and no one knows nothing......

So....no trades today...and still gotta run for payroll...
And DG is just dropping on me.....sigh

                             AND,What, it's Friday?  I can't trade till Monday, WHAT?

out 50 ARX @ 18.26 + 1.34

why holding a portfolio is difficult....the plan was working until this morning....ARX came all the way back....now I put in a stop on it to keep over a dollar....again to hold a portfolio or sell when you get a profit....not easy

Register broken at store....been working on getting one ready all morning....and most likely leaving before close....so more stops?....don't forget earnings out tomorrow

11 hours just to get a register working at a different location...who programs these things?....Really....enough secrete codes to keep me talking to tech for hours....and now I'm a day behind on payroll

I know quit whining...sniff, sigh :(

Still having a hard time with holding a portfolio.  Trying partial sells...FN spikes up and spikes down for two days...my remaining shares are red...makes me second guess the portfolio thing...but the what would've happened (coulda, woulda, shoulda) watch list shows profit for Jan and Feb

Red - 22

Wow, wonder if I went overboard on the selling trend?  Sure does mess with my plan of holding a portfolio.  That plan would have netted me a profit in Jan.

QNST...I'll be holding this one...I'm down 6 cents
POL...my largest holding...if they buy it into the close I'll probably sell

Have to leave for a few hours to get paperwork for payroll....it's wrong, I know, but can't be avoided

Really nice day for the longs

Other stuff:  but not really...just other work...payroll to do tonight
