well, guess I'll update: since I had to quit day trading because of school at the end of August, I have been swinging it all. Since the end of August, I have earned my biggest amount in a quarter - $20,000!!!! Here I am, a single kid in grad school making cheese! BTW, my beta is somewhere around .8 - go figure! This means that since March 23rd of this year (when I started keeping count), I have doubled my account value. That's 8 months! While not as great as MK or some of you other guys, I just started trading this time last year! Yes, I know we're in a nice upswing now. But I made excellent guesses on NVDA (got out Monday), WLP (caught the top and bottom w/in 30 cents), ITG (no brainer, really), and the only long term position I have - AAPL since 42.... can't wait until this program is over and I can start really trading again....
what a day, was up over 1000 early lost it all and then some, almost got stopped out then came back finished +1900 happy to get off to a good start.
+$43 yesterday -$75 today. I've been having a rough two weeks. It's been a see-saw. I'm getting a little frustrated. October and early November were really good to me, with lots of +$200 [big for my account] days. Now, I'm lucky to make $30-$50.
