Daily Update - July 8-9, 2008

I know, I didn’t post an update yesterday. I was pissed, plain and simple. That and we received about 3 inches of rain in less than an hour so I had to go pick up my wife since I didn’t want her driving in that mess. Anyways, yesterday was a mess.

Yesterday’s Trades: 4 contracts traded. Closed out V puts for a loss and BHP for a small gain.

Yesterday’s Profit / Loss: -$84

No new account highs :(

Toward the close, not only was I in a better mood, I was pissed I sold my V and BHP puts. But that’s how life goes. In retrospect, I should have never sold BHP since it didn’t violate any of my rules. No matter.

Today’s Trades: 0 Sales

Today’s Profit / Loss: None

Today’s Profit / Loss On Paper:

And that’s why today I’m in a hell of a mood. Second $1k day in the past couple of weeks.

*** New Account High ***

P.S. I’m only giddy until I hit $10k.  At this rate, it may happen by the end of the summer.  I don’t expect it to but one never knows.  I would like to see $10k by the end of the year though.

  • Seems like you have really hit your groove. I want to see $20k by the end of the summer.
  • You seem to know what you're doing, so hopefully, you will make it to 10K before the year end. BTW, thanks for the lesson in the previous post. I think I understand hedging better now. You do this full time?
  • Wild,

    Thanks. I'm hoping this is more than just luck. We'll see lol.

    Ling,

    I wish I was doing this full time. I'm trying to wrap up my PhD over the next year so being a college student excess funds are low. With what I'm working with, it seems like I'm not doing a bad job.

    With regards to hedging, see how the markets are down a ton so far? I'm inclined to take out some calls on the DIA / SPY *just* in case. Never know what happens over the weekend. But like insurance, it may or may not be needed. Let's see what happens over the weekend.
