OT - FWIW, It's been one helluva week for this ol' dark-side trader! Geez, went inta da Holiday weekend up 'bout $6K on paper and by da market's open Monday, was down -$10K and then by the close was down an eye poppin' -$70K! How's dat for one ugly bitch of a swing! <g> Not ugly enough? Well, at one point Wednesday I had run up dat AMAT bar tab ta -$88K! What a hoot! <g> Havin' had just about all da fun I could handle by that time (she printed $17.95!) I was prepped ta bail and accept da beatin' if she continued just a few pennies more ta $18.03 (at that point I would have given back all YTD ST tradin' gains totalin' +$92K)! So, spent da week bakin' in my bear suit with no refreshments and my monsta play down between -$42K and -$88K, finally closin' Friday down -$57K. As da song goes... "Well, what can a poor boy do?" <g>
Ahhh, but what da heck, dat's life! If she takes me out on this play I won't be complainin'! Hey, how many folks can say they lost $92K on one trade! <g> and I'm still goin' ta London in a few months, so in da end, I'll come out ahead!
FWIW, ST Tradin' stats for the first six months of this year:
129 Wins
031 Losses
015 Break-even
176 Total plays
Win/Loss percentage: 81%
YTD Gains: $92,625
Everyone have a great weekend! I'm headin' out to the Yosemite area in da mornin' - gotta get some shut-eye - see ya'll soon!
