  2. Trading Stupid

    Been away from the market for about a week and, looking at the bloodbath and my strategy for going long, that's almost certainly for the best. Had...

    Feeling especially Stupid. Still wanted that bounce in JNPR, bought it on open, and kept hoping for it until I was down 3%. I surrender, Mr. Bear.

    Disappointing but educational morning. Bought JNPR on the open thinking it would bounce. It did, but hours later, and at that point I got greedy...

    Though VLO would bounce on the open, it didn't. Selling on the rebound: -2.5%

  6. Trading Stupid

    For my first trade on my new laptop, ETFC! I missed the early swings and bought it at a near term high then watched it whip around for a while and...

  7. Trading Stupid

    Absolutely everything went up today, I happened to be on board AMD and got 4.5% on it. Which puts some happy punctuation on the end to an absurdly...

  8. Trading Stupid

    Awkwardly timed the QCOM bounce, but still got a little more than +1% off it. Volume on the microcaps is very low this morning. I wonder what's up.

    Again my psychology of trading is so bizarre. When I win it makes me nervous, when I lose it makes me bold. That 8% up day has all but completely...

  10. Trading Stupid

    Perhaps, but in my experience the hard part isn't making money so much as it's not losing money. Went back to breaking my rules again, but not...

  11. Trading Stupid

    Spoke too soon, I guess. Broke an unspoken rule and bought JVA before the open. Just sold it at +8%. Again, extremely tempting to see this as a...

  12. Trading Stupid

    Picked up 1% on CSTR after its crash failed on the open. That makes +2.5% on the week, and +12% overall. Still operating on a beginner's high, and...

  13. Trading Stupid

    None of my potentials went anywhere and I'm not interested in buying for the sake of buying, so this will be another day without a trade. This...

  14. Trading Stupid

    Picked up SINA on the morning upswing, told myself I'd hang onto it until it started showing signs of dropping. Couldn't do it... sold at +2.5%....

  15. Trading Stupid

    1% off of JNY on the open. If I were patient I'd give it the chance to go higher, but since it's showing no sign I'm taking my profits and running.
