Exhausting Weekend

Calendar November 18, 2007 | Posted by Jorge

2006 was a pretty good year.  My fiancee and I became engaged, we moved to a new apartment, and overall life was good.  2007 started alright until a few months ago.  If you recall, we had a family emergency where we needed to drive to North Carolina for the weekend. Seems as if once one thing happens, life piles on everything else at once.

My fiancee will be undergoing emergency gall bladder removal surgery tomorrow morning.  We’ve been in the hospital for about 24 hours now running tests and medication.  I do apologize for the lack of posts the past couple of days but not even the market can distract me from this.  I’ll post an update tomorrow morning once everything is taken care of.  Until then, be safe this week.  Historically, the Monday before Thanksgiving is a day of weakness while the rest of the week is a bit more bullish.  My Think or Swim account is now funded so hopefully after the holidays I’ll be able to share my experiences with  the new software platform.  It’s exciting having access to spreads, butterflies, straddles, iron condors, etc.  I’ll also continue the ETF series soon I promise!

Be careful tomorrow.  It’s been a wild ride the past few weeks!

    Hey Jorge,

    I recently found your blog and have been reading consistently. I hope everything goes well and wish a healthy recovery. I am also a PhD student at Penn State, so almost in the same boat as you. Unfortunately, being a novice, this year has not been profitable so far. It feels the bad but with time i hope it gets better.

    Anyhow, good luck and best wishes.

  • Congrats on getting all that done and for getting engaged!!
  • Thanks. It's been a long, long week. I've had to stay out of the market partly because I hit a bad streak and because I'm playing nurse now hah! Funny enough, our current department chair came from Penn State, professor Haghighat in nuclear. Just a tidbit. Have a great holiday break!
  • Thanks! It's been tiring but you have to slowly push on. Have a great holiday break!
