    LONG RIG 72.15
    STOP 71.89
    TGT 72.67

    - SPY gaps down, RIG gaps up and goes
    - Long over a bar as SPY looks to close the gap
    - Made a few mistakes on this one. At the least I should have moved the stop to b/e as we got 35c of the way there.. I could have also used a stop of .99 which would have made a much more attainable target
    - Regardless this trade is a loss that probably could have been a winner if managed correctly and a break even at the least
    - out -0.29

    9:47

    SHORT TEVA 49.32
    STOP 49.42
    TGT 49.12

    - TEVA gap and crap going away from the market
    - Short the tight bar under the support
    - out +0.19

    10:19

    LONG AIG 43.26
    StOP 43.15
    TGT 43.48

    - Market pulls back at 10am, AIG makes new highs
    - Great support at .16
    - out -0.12

    10:22

    SHORT RRD 16.45
    STOP 16.5
    TGT 16.35

    - Weak since the open, kinda late on the entry
    - out -0.08

    10:30

    LONG V 77.21
    STOP 77.06
    TGT 77.51

    - Strong through the post 10am SPY pullback
    - Got to 3c of tgt, should have been a b/e trade
    - out -0.25

    10:45

    LONG NEM 62.17
    STOP 62.06
    TGT 62.39

    - Gold strong while market weak and choppy, kinda chasing a trade at this point
    - out -0.13 (shaken out then to tgt.. figures)

    1-5 day (which probably should have been a 1-3-2 day) to cap off an 11-13 week. 5-11 in December
