  4. I expect to see a lot of money from Lescor and MSchey today. I made 3k on 6 positions so they must have raked it in.

  7. 2 long fills, 2 wins, +360

    The news I pay attention to are up/downgrades of the stock or its peer, and earnings of the stock or its peer (including co. adjusting forcasts for earnings and/or sales). I ignore the rest.

  8. lescor

    lescor

    Sorry to disappoint. + 3700 on 18 positions. Very busy, thought I woulda done better too. No bad losses, just out some winners too soon. With that many fills, I don't trade very effieciently.

  9. I put SBC in my automated entry program to help a bootcamper with calculations (SBC is not part of my normal page)...and it's not even on my quote window...didn't know I sold it on the opening, and, of course, it goes straight up...cost me $300 .....oh well, stuff happens....

    Back at it tomorrow.
