  1. AEM... Moved stop down for no reason yesterday and stopped out... Setting a 47.5 short trigger on it... or a 53.2 long trigger... Very nice.. Problem is it gaps a lot..

  2. No AEM shares at Ameritrade.. That'll teach me to keep my shares... Also no AN, RYL, SHLD to borrow either.. Added to ISRG short mid 118's.

    Rashid, you are in the money, they just warned on soft sales and tanked to 100 in after hours. On a volatile high priced stock like ISRG, how many shares do you generally put on for a swing trade?

    Yes that was irritating... play with dogs, you get fleas.. Bottom-fish, that happens.. Hope you have a great year!

  6. One of my key goals this year is to be aggressive on trades I like... and then stand aside. I prefer to stop at 50% of account for the best trades.. I have 300 and will very likely take some off tomorrow... Real support is at 90 on a weekly. ISRG a lucky trade.

    DTO officially the most volatile thing out there.. 50% in 3 days.

  8. Covered the rest of ISRG 110.

    Thinking 880 to 885 SP area to cover shorts..
