  3. I don't see any COF news. HON and UTX got me for a combined $3100 and there was no news I could find. I think it was just a poison day all around; reminiscent of a day or two last August.

  4. Month of may wrap up:
    P/L net: +36$
    Gave at least 300$ to my broker :mad:
    Shares traded: 9600
    30 longs, 30 shorts
    0.0038$ per share
    Played 19 days in the month = 1.89$ per day, lol. About 1/5 of the MCD employees on a hourly basis :eek:
    Only 3 days down.
    I thought I was net negative! Not bad for a first month I guess.
    I'm still going to keep the size small (100-300) until I feel more comfortable.
    There are many stocks on my list that I just keep cancelling because I dont trust them yet.

  7. You're going about it the right way - keep it small until you are confident the stock fits you well and you are turning a profit in it (I say that because some people can trade certain stocks that others can't, and there's nothing wrong with that).

    Just don't be timid when you are doing well with your stock - keep gradually upping size.

    Good Luck.

  8. Timid today :D

    Reduced size and fattened envelope, so I reaped what I sowed: no fills.
