Besides working most of the week, a bad last week of the month brings me to a losing month.

And it's Friday....where's the pig?


Other stuff:  Last weekend I went to Quandary Peak ....spent the day there, and the evening....almost the night....who knew it was so far away....dang!

I'm not even here....worked 23 hours straight yesterday and now I just got back from today's chores and will have to leave my post tomorrow to install more equipment at another location.  
I've worked past the point of thinking straight...and finally stopped for the red light in the middle of the intersection...because my eyes are too blurry,  and in the meantime people just keep saying "hey what about helping here"
And now first food all day
While my account weeps...................................

     Futures trade was a way to get back VIVO loss




I was slacking, not caring, and not doing what I was supposed to....I held into earnings and got burnt by over 3 bucks a share...and even worse...I DIDN'T EVEN PUT UP THE DATES FOR EARNINGS OF WHAT I OWNED.
     Lessons are expensive in the trading world.....did anyone see my hundred dollars just fly out the window?

Backed off of my 50 share lot plan


Need to be a faster trader....for two days now I have watched gains drop...had a couple of 50 centers and a dollar and I rode them back down ...I SHOULD BE TAKING THE MONEY....a little yelling at myself

 Internet down until now....having that backup internet provider really is important.  Sure,   most of the time you'll wonder why you are spending an extra hundred a month....but when you lose your IP and you have stocks you need to babysit...it's worth the money.
