    I'm up 23% today alone.

    Got smashed with my QQQ calls.
    but my NFLX/GS/MCP puts are doing wonderful!

    also have FAZ/TZA puts .

  2. maybe. I see lots of folks at the supermarket that probably said the same thing. they are the ones swiping the white foodstamp card.

  3. look how the turkeys here can't even keep the thread on track. I didn't offer an excuse for you to tell us how brilliant you are.

    I asked for posts from losers. now, maybe no one here on the elite board lost any money today.

  5. Didn't put on a single trade until after 8pm tonight.

    I was on this thread earlier: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=224819 the OP had a rough day... was long from Friday (ouch).... then he short and got out for a scratch today (wtf)... then went long mid-day and got some more pain. Point = This ET guy got a BEATING today.

    Maybe I will take a beating tomorrow too but I like my risk-reward being long after another 1% down move after hours. It's part of trading, gotta take $ from someone in futures trading right?

  8. I'm down roughly $51k as of today, but I haven't closed anything out yet.

    I'm actually down $64K on my SPY position, but because of hedging (roughly $6k realized and $7k unrealized hedge) I'm only down a net of $51k.

    All detailed in my journal.
