Got smashed this morning in AAPL, apparently it wasn't a long. Was down over a G. So overall not too bad.
Came back with a vengeance after yesterday's losses. Tore the stuffing outta a lot of brazillian securities, during that mid morning drop. Did a bit in the reits, in the am as well. Nice way to end the week. MTM across all accounts is about $200 less than realized. Have a great weekend everyone
Since I usually don't trade this security, I'll throw my trades out there. I didn't catch on to the dive until after getting some lowball fills. I missed the bottom, AMEX pulled the last ask I shoulda had at 25.12 for 5k shares....guess there coulda been shares ahead....but, well, you know. Thanks again DT, for getting the thread going. I think it's a great inspiration. These are just discretionary trades chasing volatility.

Overtraded and held losses. Was down almost three hundred till I finally got a break in EBAY and then MRK turned things around for me. A story stock like MRK will not always be there to save my ass. -282 from the high water mark - that is the most important numberâ¦a winning day isn't really a winning day unless your setting a new high water mark otherwise your just recovering losses. edit: goddamn excel, the #s look nasty after pasteing them.
+75 on friday. Extremely slow day in the stocks i was trading and had a bit of trouble concentrating. +538 for the week i believe.
