  • JCP made me smile

    JCP made me smileAbout F’ing time. JCP followed the market in its downward movement today (finally), and I got to sell my JCP shares with a profit. I would have been happy covering for no loss, but I felt that it would be rude not to take a small profit when presented with the opportunity. So opportunity arose, I snatched it, and now I’m able to buy a hooker.

  • GOOG will be my next prey

    GOOG Mar08 $430 put (GOPOF)I need to make money because if I don’t, I won’t have any money left and someone will repo my humor. And without humor, I might turn into gay Richard at MoveTheBowels. I chose GOOG as my next target because it looked easy to spell and reminds me of my Vietnam days.

  • C you next Tuesday

    C Apr08 $20 put (CPD)I actually sold an option for a profit. I know, it’s really a momentous occassion on which I’ve decided to celebrate by buying another put in another stock. It’s really something that I’ve been hoping to do for a while.. you know.. making a profit.

  • Take my money, please

    C Apr08 $20 put (CPD)
    I’m doing too much trading. I started on another trader attack and just can’t get back to it because of work obligations and my requirement to spend all of my trading account money. So here goes another trade, which I hope to be less of a failure than last time, which is really not that difficult to attain.

  • Another day, another loss

    I’m not sure how long it’s going to be before I get the email telling me that I’m pattern daytrading without the necessary pattern daytrader account value. It seems that some people don’t have the restrictions that cash accounts come with so maybe I’ll avoid the limitations too (teach me your secrets psychic detective of investing).

  • BIDU hates me

    BIDU Mar08 $260 call (BDUCV)
    I’m thinking to myself, I lost when I bought the put on BIDU, so what if… and that’s where I failed. I wondered em>what if which to me turns into let me try. So I tried and need to make this post quickly, so I can cover my loss.

    The DJI and NASD and S&P and Russell 2k and everything else that shouldn’t be up is up today. So I figured since BIDU was down $3-ish, I would take advantage of the situation of it’s lag time and buy a call on it.

  • AAPL stop limit is hit

    Stupid.. Stupid.. Stupid. I shouldn’t have stuck with my stop limit. I got taken out. What’s with AAPL getting downgraded today, the market being down over 160 points right now, and AAPL is up almost 2% ($1.75)? Taking a loss is like failure to me, and I don’t handle failure well.

  • AAPL option decision

    I had the urge to eat an apple this morning, so I thought that meant I should look at AAPL and decide what to buy, either a put or a call. Since I had a large quantity of AAPL puts when AAPL was much higher, I did have a bias liking for puts over calls, probably because I made profit on them.

  • Surviving a loss, another loss, and more losing

    win.jpgI’ve lost family due to death.. I’ve lost friends due to poor knot tying skills.. and I’ve lost money to the stock market. Today’s update is that all family is alive (damn inheritance will be farther away now), surviving friend is still locked in basement, but the stock market is kicking my ass, still, again.

  • Destroying my account

    RIMM Mar08 $93.375 put (RULOX)RIMM came out with great news, so I bought a put. Umm… you think that I could convince you all that I’m a retard or is it going to take more? I’ve included the screen shot below of the buy, just so that there’s no question about my insanity being real vs. virtual.
