Are you zigging or zagging today? <g>

hehehehe Zigging actually and in all 12 cylinders -ggg-

the positions I took were on the rather aggressive side and my oh my... the improvement has been ... well, let's say, considerable.

(mind you in the AM it got er... worrisome to say the least -gg- but that is the nature of this wild beast.)

Bottom line it boils down to premiums received and time decay... and I am at the point that on a Ballparking the Future basis, I will be ok my bruised pride notwithstanding -g-

But hey, we know this is not about pride but about more money each trading month that passes. hopefully expanding the asset base too. roughly this is what is happening --emphasis on the "roughly" part -g-

Having said that, i shall make, yet again, a new promise to myself to be less aggressive, no forced "bomb" style 100 yard touch downs... just 10 yards at the time... and let's not forget either that the play is not over yet, so I may still end up 4th. Down and 75 yards to go and with my butt in the mud... -GGG-

Re: Stock charts...

I find them quite useful and easy to do so. I have my own Metastock program where I do the "deeper strategy" -g- but Stock Charts I find them useful and quick particularly when I am given a now cue for a stock...

Also very informative as well.

Sort of "change the play on the fly" type of thing...

I had no idea you were involved with Stock Charts congratulations! nice job.

Zigging and zagging both for me.
Unloaded puts this am (a little too late but at big profits).

Reloaded too early but not full positions.

Sort of half a loaf, but if the get the middle 65% of a move you probably doing pretty good.

I really like NETE puts on this rebound.
Bought some back at 55 and will add more on any bounce.
