i have been my own worst enemy the last couple of days... waiting for the turn that never comes.... i should know better...
I was lucky today....I did have JCP...JCP is a bastard when you're wrong. +4743 this AM, I risked at least that much to get there. I knew I wanted to short the open today, I even sold the S&P futures on the open, so why did I even bother buying equities? Sometimes I think we get so locked into a particular strategy that we forget we just need to focus on making money, and once in a while that means taking liquidity, not providing it. Even the market has been giving signs lately that OPG has not been great! Let's hope that this is just a temporary lull, and not the beginning of the end. Good trading to all! Mike
5 fills / 3 short / 2 long -410 -.8 / +.7 % i keep getting stung by non news or non indicated suprises... hca...-470.00....etr...-200.... thank god for a couple of winners...
Didn't trade today as I was in lovely Jackpot Nevada last night and this AM. Looks like I missed a nasty beating in KFT and PRU so glad to be gone. Got 3rd out of 70 in the poker tournament so it must have been my night. Got caught in a bluff on the big stack or I'd have gotten 2nd.
The thriving mecca of Jackpot, eh? Were you at the "Horshu" or Cactus Pete's ....(I think that's where they are. Good job on the poker.. Don
Yep, don't blink or you'll miss it. You remember correctly. I was at Cactus Pete's. Only poker room in Jackpot. It's worth a stop if you happen to be passing through.
Tiny day on the OOs, 1 long fill, +80. Will pay my fuel and tailgating expenses on Sunday. You're all lucky this weekend, as the Steelers/Patriots matchup will be the nationally televised game. Except, of course, those of you unfortunate enough to have your local team playing at 4 PM EDT. But that's what NFL Sunday Ticket is for, right? Have a good weekend all. Hopefully this storm will taper off by the time it hits Texas.
