running money - 35% a year

Discussion in 'Chit Chat' started by coolweb, Mar 7, 2010.

  1. After I watched my ego outburst in the psych section,
    I realzied, shit, it might be time to sell stocks. I tend to view myself in a 3rd party, Theres 3 people in me.

    1. The focused , persistent coolweb.
    2. The I am the fking man coolweb.
    3. The neutral coolweb (3rd party view)


    so I thoroughly reviewed my positions, my analysis is whats going to happen:

    a. ES s&p500 just took out shorts, its almost impossible for es to sell off after a short squeeze, a short squeeze can only mean grind up prices after the squeeze to further give shorters the ride of their lifetimes.


    aa. ES will most likely drop to 1085, around a .7% drop (monday or tuesday) , then ram it up

    OR

    ab. ES will grind higher .30% each day, aka untradeable for intraday daytraders but beneficial for people like me who are holding long term positions.



    b. I did my due diligence, to check on my ego outburst, I am confident staying long and not selling is the right decision for this week.



    Thanks to coolweb #3 neutral.

  7. Closed 7/8th of all positions.
    Now very little left in the market.

    15% on armh
    12% on lulu
    8% on cstr
    8% on aos

    positon sized change a little up

    Total portfolio gain = +9-10%
    Last portfolio gain = +19% - 1% peak = 18%
    Current gain = +9.5% estimated

    Current Total = +27.5%

    ============


    good game. 1 more trade to reach the goal.

  8. a. Regarding my selling
    I have a sitting problem, once I sell 2/3rds I want to sell everything,<u> I need more experience in that .</u> I feel its a flaw that has to be fixed, but can only be fixed with more experience (aka pain I will be experiencing when stocks jump another 3-5% from my exit)


    b. Regarding my Intial Postion size is still around 200k
    I want to increase it, but not there yet mentally. Next profitable trade I'll turn it to 250k-280k intial position size. I have a position size goal of 1.50M by next year. Trade my position up, More profitable trades , More small losses = More experience = More mental ability to handle larger position sizes. Conservative in risk taking..


    8-10% = 130k-150k per trade profit.


    ===============

    When I see great entry points, I'll jack the position size to 500k intial. Keep focused. Keep focused. <b> Focus</b>


    Will not stop until I'm the richest guy in my region.
    That is my goal. I want to look around at all the buildings and say I can buy them all <u>but I won't</u>. I want to look at a mayor candicacy and say I can buy into that but <u>I don't need it</u>, I want to look at all the skyrises and say

    <h2>
    THIS IS NOTHING COMPARED TO MY ASSETS IN THE MARKETS
    </h2>

    Nothing is impossible.

  10. key mistake in my selling

    a) Was selling armh, but then went on a selling spree.
    b) lesson learned, different equities don't equal to same selling

    looking for an optimum entry to put back 1/2 the position.
