The Super Terrific Happy Hour

  1. I did get back into SNAP (about 14.08). Holding this one through the weekend. Definitely a swing trade after it pushed through the $14 so effortlessly. Looks like clear skies till $15. Should close within a penny or two of $14 today. That's a good sign because it will leave pent-up bullishness on the table for Monday.

  3. I got bored with SQ. :p On to bigger white elephants...er...whales.

    But when I see the same symbols' charts day-in, day-out, I see the nuance of it better. I don't make stupid mistakes like missing the obvious peak on BABA yesterday (which has been out of favor with me lately). Also, I'm pretty sure I learn a lot more when I have skin in the game--so, trading the chop might not make sense from a profit standpoint, but I feel like I learn more--and it keeps my "be a better loser" mentality sharp.

    ...ok, even I see Ahab as I reread that.

  6. Covered 341.86 +12.14
    probably very near the high of the day, perhaps I shouldn't have tinkered with my stop.

    covering was the right move in hindsight imho

  9. If I wouldn't be too nervous TSLA dropping 100 points if Musk had a heart attack, I would go long TSLA here. Looking strong imo.
