Be the Elephant

Learn to be patient. Add by subtracting.

Today was not meant for me to do much, so I did little. I sold my GLW, which effectively greatly increased my VXX exposure, as GLW was one of my largest long positions. That was enough. I walked away and haven’t thought about the market since.

I will have my day and I will end up victorious. Rest assured, the markets are bounded by certain mathematical formulas. As it happens, I am in possession of said treasures and use them while traveling through space, in my fucking rocket.

In my opinion, the earnings warnings will come home to roost. Analysts will downgrade investor favorites to “stay ahead of the curve.” The cycle of lower expectations has begun.

Trade accordingly.

      The report was better than you think. It states what we already knew, a modest recovery is under way. Should go up from here for the rest of the day.

    Dude will probably fail to mention that he has more wall street bankers in his cabinet than any other president.

      Even the “Big-O” didn’t take us down. We see how consumer credit reaction goes. (I really miss the edit function.)

      Hmmmm…..Your timing may be a little early. Until the PPT approaches 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288419716939937, VXX may continue to slide.

      That said, I’m ready for dessert.

    still holding my FAS and not doing anything with it yet ..adding here would get me jammed up price wise and leave little room for adjustments…but if you were smarter than me and sent a probe bet in yesterday you might be ready to add ..wait for your probe to be in the green including fees ..then add enough to bring your holdings to 1/3 position ..from there check your 1 yr chart to find your support levels …be watchfull and add 1/3 at the next level your comfortable with ..dont get yourself jammed up on the upside or downside by getting in to close to your last bet…on the upside allow at least $1.00 on the downside allow a $3-$4 decline before cost avg…

    i give nothing back ever

    Also, are you going to trade around it? averaging down … and where would you stop this trade if for some reason this market start to run higher like crazy for no good reason.
