WTF are you people trading if you had a rough time today? I traded for 2 hours at lunchtime with 100 share lots and mainly to test & fix up my layout and the keyboard keys (which keep resetting on me for some reason). I still grossed 90 bucks and that's after a keyboard error cost me all profit on my best trade.
my new rule in life....no more trading for me on fridays...cause i get killed......lol...hard to dig myself out of that massive hole i put myself in last friday when i keep doing this. if someone can tell me why some massive buyer stepped in and starting buying huge amounts of HLT today i would like to know cause i cant find any news out on it....the guy was placing orders for 50k 8 cents above market...repeatedly...he pushed the stock up 30-40 cents before he even got a decent amount of shares...lol...and before i could get out of my position......then he kept pushing and pushing.....
+29.50 1000 Shares I'm calling it a day. I'm glad I'm having a mildly positive finish to a crappy week.
lol...two hours after i get killed on HLT cnbc reports the hotel sector has been upgraded! would have been handy to know that 3 hours ago!
Callin it an early Friday today - everything is dead in the water. No action on my stocks. Happy to end up on the week - marginally. Good weekend guys!!!!
