  1. Im a little short on ideas this morning. I can buy orcl just above 21 and i can buy a lot if it were to get to 20.50ish.

  5. added one last time orcl, now really full at 85k shrs at 21.57 avg. I shorted 4k of the snda and the tape quickly told me i was wrong so covering it for a loss.

  9. What a let down, I guess the thread title was just a teaser. Your thoughts or beliefs aren't confessions man. I was expecting something like " after my first great month I paid three girls from hooters to fly to cancun with me and then a few details".

  10. Question1: If you were flat right now would you want to get long Oracle?

    Question2: If the answer to number 1 was no are you a good enough trader to get out?
