  1. Gordon Gekko: Money itself isn't lost or made, it's simply transferred from one perception to another. :)

  4. Haven't posted in a while.....

    My day was saved by TWM, EUV, FXP, SRS, SKF, SDS, TWM, MZZ...

    I was very disappointed that the fed did not cut 50 on the discount to help Libor spreads...

    ALL in ALL the day was great....I should of lost 7 figures easy....If I was fully invested long...

  5. Lost $700 today and $7K the last 3 days. I'm a novice and it shows.

    Might have been up today if TDAmeritrade would have let me place some trades immediately after 2:15.

  7. I bought housing stocks (Long) on friday and held through the weekend.
    Sold some yesterday.
    Sold EVERYTHING today in the run up prior to the FED announcement. I have learned over the years that it is not advantageous to hold through the news.

    I pocketed $7000ish from Fri-Tue.
    I did not catch the down move on the short side.
    That's the way it goes.

    HAPPY TRADES!

  10. Fed days i have started to learn are only worth trading AFTER the announcement. Only had 4 trades but + 7 points, +2.5, +.5 and -2 points. So not bad. All ES points that is.
