    9:46

    (2min play)
    LONG GLD 138.69
    STOP 138.6
    TGT 138.87

    - Sector/Commodity strong, gap up and holding it's level
    - SPY gap up and showing weakness
    - as SPY bounces, GLD at the highs
    - note: using a near 140.00 stock to catch a 18c move can really tie up your buying power..
    - out +0.18

    9:48

    (2min play)
    LONG ECA 30.31
    StOP 30.23
    TGT 30.47

    - gap and go, look for continuation as SPY shows some strength
    - out -0.1

    10:04

    SHORT RIMM 55.58
    STOP 55.71
    TGT 55.32

    - SPY gap up, RIMM gap down
    - by 10am RIMM is at the lows, SPY is at the highs
    - out -0.17

    11:04

    LONG CCJ 38.02
    STOP 37.9

    - SPY selling lightly from 10:30-11am
    - This chart looks like crap, I should not have taken this
    - out -0.14

    14:28

    SHORT GS 167.68
    STOP 138.03
    TGT 167.00

    - Market weak, slow retraces followed by legs down
    - SPY slowly creeping up between 1:50-2:30
    - During the same period GS is weak or flat
    - SPY looks to be hitting resistance at 122.00
    - out -0.37

    15:12

    SHORT AIG 42.99
    STOP 43.10
    TGT 42.77

    - Weak all day, beautiful lower high right a around #
    - As soon as AIG prints 42.99 it drops like a drop (prob stops being hit), I only get a partial fill.
    - out +0.22

    15:30

    SHORT AIG 42.9
    StOP 43.01
