  1. trade:

    12/06/06 10:38:00 BOUGHT To Cover AAPL Market Day Executed @ 68.88


    I felt my entry was not good enough to warrant full size.So lets take some profits right now


    +2.21 1/2 size

    Not too bad,

    This is my first time shorting in a few months

    Lets try to keep it steady for the next few shorting sessions, Was a little rusty on the execution this time,
    scared shitless more like it hahahah , but confident in the method.

    When aAPL moves , aapl MOVES!

  2. REST of the position stop:
    70.55

    On one hand I feel this was a shitty trade because i did not start looking at it until it was a bit too late to short so no LARGE size was implemented :/


    I don't know how that stop will hold but

    Profits have been taken, we are now riding on houses money so, who cares, lots of opportunities everyday,

    but long term opportunities are scarce, I feel I missed out on a nice big opportunity early in the morning.

    AAPL will never retouch $71 in months to come.

    Time to focus on the home builders.

    Actually uptrend at the moment for the next hour or so.

    ORCL was a swing I want to be short on for awhile,

    I like this stock , this thing moves like a slug so I can position myself in and control risk.
