  2. I bailed on pot mos for a slight loss and sold zmh earlier for a 1.70 profit which was nice, but only had 1k shrs. I bot a bunch 27k aig at 44.21 on news headlines. I'm also bailing on the MO at around breakeven

  3. I bailed on everything except long 27k aig, realized PnL roughly breakeven.

    picked up a little of the AMGN, though at a higher price than you, if it can just break the damn $62 mark, could go for a little run. Shorted some of the MOS when it broke the 50D MA, still have it.

  5. Got smoked out of some AIG earlier, down to 10k shrs will either sell at just below 50 or near end of day, whichever comes first.

    Nice trade on the AIG, wanted to pick some up, but couldn't pull the trigger as it rocketed. Sold the AMGN at 62.20 for a 30c/shr gain, still short the MOS hoping it breaks 51 on the downside. RL might be a good short for a quick profit if it breaks 76

  7. I got 48.80 for my remaining 10k aig. Daily realized PnL of about 36k. Decent job of coming back from the drawdown early last week. May the force be with you.

  8. Confession: I think this puretick thing looks like the biggest scam going on et. At the same time I can't feel sorry for anyone who buys into their obvious b.s. Given the persistent call outs by puretruth and others. It's a great illustration of fools and their money...

    Do you track your profit ratio and do a lot of backtesting?
