Hey.. I only have three monitors.. And I missed the second QCOM trade. It was also only 148,000. Not 150.

Hope this makes you feel better.

Actually Barbara, Us daytraders got caught off guard as well.

Reminds me of my record of $106,000 in one day, but doing it your way; the buy and hold strategy (well it used to work!). After a couple of days of stability/some profits, today was back to my losing streak which began just after 3/10. Took on too much again; lessons that should have already been learned can come back to haunt you once again.

Gee, Barbara -- I can't decide whether it's inspiring, or just depressing to read about someone making $150,000/day in this market. Any chance he (or she) would like to hire-out services for us other poor slobs?... :-)

I don't think rigorous day trading is for me. I do buy and sell stocks but, no scalping. I don't use margins either. I never even shorted a stock yet. I guess we both are from the old school of investing etc. These guys/gals making $150K per day, can they sleep at night? How much was the capital used to get gains of the order of $150K? Is it worth it?
