    (2min play)
    SHORT RIMM 47.64
    STOP 47.84
    TGT 47.24

    - SPY gap up and ripping
    - RIMM gap up and heading lower
    - I should have not been short anything with SPY this strong

    SHORT RIMM 47.97
    STOP 48.04
    TGT 47.83

    - After 10am SPY continues higher
    - RIMM stays within a range and drops to support within the range
    - Short the break
    - out +0.14

    11:55

    SHORT BBBY 43.33
    STOP 43.4
    TGT 43.19

    - BBBY continues weak while SPY strong
    - triangly thingy into support, short the break
    - I should have moved this to b/e as it was 3c from tgt
    - out -0.07

    14:08

    LONG AMZN 160.15
    STOP 159.94
    TGT 160.57

    - AMZN a beast today with an upgrade
    - Long the higher low
    - I should have laid off any trade on options expiration day near a strike.
    - out -0.25

    On a day where SPY was an absolute monster I decide to take 4 shorts and 1 ill advised long.. I basicallly traded today like I hated money. 10-9 on the week, 25-22 on the month.
