Daily Recap and Status - May 6, 2008

STOP DAYTRADING!

Someone please remind me to do the above. I’m not an options day trader. I’m losing too much money trying to day trade. Sigh.

Trades taken: 2 (Visa puts)

P/L: -$50

Today appears to be a better day. First, my deposits into my account have cleared. Our tax rebates have finally come in as well. Overall, I have a bit more firepower to play with so in terms of being properly capitalized and diversified, we’re one step closer.

On that note, I may dip my hand at trading the NQ futures. I’m still on the fence about it but we’ll see how the day’s actions go.

Oil topped $122 yesterday before settling near $121. Oil is currently sitting at $121.80. Goldman Sachs is predicting oil near $200 within the next 6 to 18 months which is scary in and of itself. Note that a couple of years ago, Goldman predicted $100 oil within the next two years. Look where we’re at now.

Stay sharp today!
