I know… it’s been a while. Give me a few days to catch up, relearn how to use this thing, and clean up this site. Life’s taken a hold of any free time I’ve had. I actually haven’t placed a trade since the end of November. Also currently looking for a job. So yeah… but anywho! Give me until the weekend to clean this place up. Stay safe this week!

Frustration and Exaustion
First off, let me apologize for not being around the past couple of weeks. Life has a funny thing where it tends to throw 100 events at you at once before relenting. Keeping it short, between potentially finding a job due to the graduate situation here as well as random acts of stuff (flat tires, medical, vet, car), physically and financially my wife and I are tired.
Trading wise, I’m still down, and down hard. At this point I may need to just walk away for a few days and clear my head. I did have a nice a-ha moment last week, and while that a-ha moment paid nicely on Friday on a down 400 day, yesterday I gave every last dime back and then some. So at this point in terms of trading, I’m feeling a bit lost again. I need to find a trading partner and fast.
Looks like futures are down heavily this morning after some comments by Bernanke last night regarding inflation. I promise to update throughout the day but something tells me this selloff pre-market might not hold. Then again, the action across the markets in general have just been weird.

Blog Income and Traffic Report – April 2008
Man did April fly by. Guess that means it’s time for another quick blog income and traffic report, brought to you by the great people at Mario Kart Wii, because without it, wii’d be bored during the summer months.

“Transparency is the key to prosperity…”
That’s what Kudlow would say, sort of. Anyways, a quick update since I’ve been gone practically a week. If you’re currently in the college circuit, you’ll know that it’s that time again for finals. Even as a PhD student, finals week always seems to suck time and energy out of my life. Couple that with issues at work and I’m sure you can figure out how things have been somewhat rough as of late. But anyways, a couple of points to note.
First, in an effort to be more transparent, and in doing so having a virtual trading journal, I’ll be posting my daily trades here. Mind you, I’m more of a swing trader than a day trader so while daily updates may not have actual trades, at the very least it’ll have my thought processes as to why no trades were made. Weekly recaps will be just that. I’ll have weekly totals as well as the best and worst trade (or non-trade) for that week. I think by being more transparent, in the long run it should help out my trading career if for the simple fact that I’ll be able to share more of my ideas and (hopefully) get instant feedback. Won’t be easy, but if folks can do it (see Virtual Office for example), I should be able to as well.
I have one final exam on Thursday so my time around here may be sparse, especially with the improvements I’ve made in my trading the past couple of weeks. While no earth shattering profits are being made (come on, I run with less than $1,000!), the main goal was to stop the bleeding. If you can stop the bleeding in a bear market, I can only imagine how things may work in a bull market. But the last thing anyone should be is cocky when trading. The market will humble you, be sure about that.
