  1. I know MRK is pointing and laughing at me,

    Next time news comes out, I will HEDGE instead of buy to cover where shorting takes another 20 minutes to execute and the worst fills possible :D



    MRK 15 Min 34.08 -0.99%

  4. My stock selection for the short side is not that great now,

    It will be spectacular @ the next rally

    Thought of much better methods.

    You will see 3-5% drops, not these slugs I have on me.

    My Long stock selection is perfect, now for the short side.

    In due time.. In due time.

  8. KMX covered all 33.27 - 0.05/0.07

    RECN - covered 1/2
    25.08 + .92


    KMX - short was good, stock had no selling pressure, need better stock picking for shorts.


    GOOG - not looking good

    because market is uptrending,

    Guess I am late to short today.

    will probably have to cover.

  9. Still good in goog

    stock keeps on coming terribly close to a reversal, but then retraces back,

    markets starting to simmer down now

    good to know :)


    GOOG does a lot of retraces (hard to daytrade but ok to swing), hope it slams it down once its ready to go down.

  10. I closed 3/4th GOOG 408 + $1.50 (pititiful percentage)


    I had a headache watching the thing
    and my risk and stop limit are like .25% away

    Thats real close, and I can't seem to handle sitting next to the computer all day watching this piece of shit tick up tick down,
    retrace, really, retrace, rally


    CAn't even walk away, stop is too close, Feel like I'm jailed,

    Lowered position,
    Feel better now,

    Moral of the story: Don't take on more size when
    a) markets chopping
    b) too many shares for your risk
