I also went back another 16 months. ( if you didn't see that one )
Message 19422883
These are just my QQQ trades..
and I didn't do as good as I thought I was
doing..
Picking stocks in hopes of catching a bottom
during the bear market took back more than I made
on qqq trades.

The only saving grace was when I bought hand over
fist last Oct...when the VIX was real high..

I'm down to one holding right now..( AMCC )
and it's got covered calls sold on it
for Nov..and if It can stay above $5 they
can sure as hell have it. Well they will
likely get it in NOV at any price.
I'm cured of buying stocks..
( EXCEPT if they get so low the VIX
does a repeat like last year )
That don't happen very often , but I think
in my case I can wait on it or stay with bonds
and maybe do a few QQQ trades..
----
I can't figure what happened to MSFT after hours
CNBC is avoiding talking about it..she is down
hard with what was supposed to be a good report..
In fact she is still falling, and MSFT holds the
high market cap position of the QQQ..
I have a few puts but not enough..and I should
have stayed with my short the other day.
---
It looks like my distrust of Oct , particularly after
a real strong run up, is justified..
