More or less, same as yesterday. Finished the day with 2.25 points or $112.50 minus commish. Managed to cross the $300 mark at one point, but decided to foolishly beat the dead horse to squeeze out the last drop that only made me give back more than half of the gain.

No trading today. This market is way too damn slow for this noob to go skinny dipping. I feel constipated just watching it.
a lot of hedge funds are underwater (so i read), a lot have failed. this makes sense to me. on this, and this alone, i'm long into new yr. speculative, by why not? FWIW and what is more patriotic than a ramp into 2016?
Well, contrarian I am not. I try not to go against the crowd. I only want to front-run them. Having traded over 20 years, I've reached a conclusion that there's no such thing as "smart money" and "dumb money". They're all jackass in disguise. Hedge funds that went under were extolled (at one time) as the high-flying darlings of their days. It surely ain't the first nor the last tragic gaffe perpetrated on Wall Street. And so the saga continues ad infinitum.
the santa claus rally sucked this yr, we didn't take out any highs? hedgies & mutuals need a good finish. its thin, but i'm going on that.
