Today could have been disasterous. I made probably every mistake I could have made in one day. Only took one position, but it was huge (mistake), LONG in AAPL (mistake, considering AAPL might be looking at the low 150's in the coming week or two), in the pre-market (mistake). I HELD onto the position (mistake) even as it was dying... I was so fortunate that the reversal came before lunch. I dropped half the position with miminal damage and sold the rest on the close. There' no way I could risk holding it at its high on a Friday afternoon... the $VIX is still sky high, we will wait till it drops to do any holding. Overall, with all those mistakes, I had one of the luckiest days ever... I'm still pissed at myself.

The Weekend!!

Today was a pretty easy day. Caught some nice scalps in the morning, didn't risk alot, and caught some of the upside in the afternoon. Good job.

After a crazy weekend in Gainesville watching the Gators kill the hapless Dores, I continued on my winning ways. i used patience for the most part today. I had a great long trade in GS on the early reversal that i could made 10 bucks on, but got out way too early... i tend to be very cautious at the beginning of the day which I have to rectify.... like too cautious, and then take big risks at the end of the day. I made a bit off the late day rally too, but generally got out early or chased too much. I got very lucky a couple of times.

I got out of RIMM early, and made some good doh off it, except I decided to scalp some stuff in an horrendous market... and got beaten to the floor by it... damn me! Great week overall, but if I do stupid things like this, I'm gonna be going back to the dogs...

I'm off to Gainesville!!!

Got killed on a RIMM trade... chased a bitch and got smacked... I kept a huge chunk for tomorrow morning, I'm hoping for a popp on the open or I could be destined for misery.
