  1. Note:

    I have sold EXP 155.20

    Just noticed it was up 20% , thats not exactly swing material for me IRRATIONAL EXUBERANCE., + took in a 2% profit on 1k shares so good money.

  3. Your MGI entry looks great. I also like the quality upgrade in stocks.

  6. Sold 1/2 MGI

    wrong price action

    Rest if bid is ticking down will be sold

    Rest will ride if it ticks up.

  8. I did not add any swing positions today.

    I'm still holding NOC and BNI

    Sad really, I Wanted to swing into MGI, BDX but price action has unwelcomed and shortened my stay.



    OI'm looking to swing into

    JCOM

    but I have not seen what I need to see yet.


    All energy stocks are on my watch list

    PTEN
    SFF sante fe
    CMS
    APA

    I'm also watching ING
    EURO stock, but it seems like it gaps up with the europe market,
    I don't think I can trade that, the risk would be far greater when it gaps down on me. I need liquidity.

    I must say, the past few days drop in energy is VERY inviting, I hope they clean UP so the strong hands will enter with convicition.

    CMS has shown through price action , down, You can't up a outside bear bar, You just can't. Its like a battle axe wielded by a viking that just can't be stopped.


    Lets wait for the clean up, And enter with confidence.

  9. This thread is good, but how about we make it like the trader p/l 2006 thread and just post:

    1. Realized sells for the day: $$$
    2. Unrealized gains: $$$
    3. A screen shot of the blotter to back it up

    Just a suggestion, but I think this would make it easier to read and it will give the swing traders a place to post daily just like the trader p/l place has for scalpers.

  10. While that would be a good idea, but I think sharing of the thought process would be much more informative then sharing numbers.

    Numbers are just numbers, ideas are worth gold.

    But feel free to post any numbers if you want :)
