Opening Orders - 2009

9 Fills all good, mrk T KO. Could have had a dollar on some of those. 70$ on 100 shares

 

I have no clue what same store sales are but it seems that retailers report that from time to time. I dont care what that means for the stocks. I just cut them from my list. I read the news in Yahoo and it was there from 3 different sources. Reading the news in Yahoo for your stocks is a minimum. I also look at the top stories because there can be sector/industry peers that effect your stocks. I sometimes cancel a whole sector/industry if one stock has a big news. On earnings I obviously cancel all the industry. Maybe other people dont. Carefull reading from last night till the last minute.
Add your stocks to the end;

3 fills, 2 longs, 1 short, 2 winners, 1 loser, + 0.06 average.
Wide on the envelope, cancelled 50%.

 

1 fill, up by little. Wide on buy envolope so missed a lot of goodies.

 

On days like that (sort of late momentum reversal) many stocks are not priced yet on the downside so it's better to miss than buying something that may fall down. I did the same.

 

7 fillls, 5 longs, 2 shorts, 3 winners, 4 losers, -0.03 average.
Nothing much to get. Palyed widder, cancelled 50%.
This starts to be another harsh month.

 

4 fills all bad,
worst offenders MAS DD -50$ on 100 shares

 

I haven't posted for a few days....been working on my stock list, but still trading my condensed list while doing so. 9 of past 11 days were winners....all small however. Consistency is still here, but I've noticed that my net profitsare a bit smaller. I think I've just been a bit more cautious than normal......hoping to get the list up to speed.

I'll get back to posting daily soon......
