I am really, really heated right now, due to the surge in shares of SHZ. In my quest to win Chinese Lotto, I had conducted about an hour of research on SHZ, like last week when the stock was $1.13. Seeing it at $3.20 in pre-market trading is equal to having the winning lotto numbers at home, sans ticket.
Here are my notes inside of The PPT

“Micro cap burrito posted record volume today. Worth a dice roll, fyi” |

“Aside from gold +copper, this company has extensive rare earth deposits in China.” |

On a separate note, seeing shares of AMLN get obliterated this morning, thanks to the FDA, reminds me why I avoid biotech stocks like the plague. They are nothing more than pinless hand grenades waiting to blow arms off.
Thus far, pre-market, stocks look poised to bounce at the open. People know longer trade this market, only computers. So, having said that, do not expect the market to adhere to any semblance of reason. Doubling down on my “having said that” demeanor, I am a seller into any rally, due to the novelty of it all. I am interested in stocks trading down, all the time, no matter what Bill “The Jackass” Miller says on the teevee.
Deeply embedded in one of the worst trades of my career (VXX), I am reminded of how cyclical this business is, with regards to “getting the market.” I’ve been through so many hot/cold streaks. It no longer affects my confidence. The important take away: no matter how bad/good you are trading, the trend always changes. If you are enjoying yourself now, nailing the market, remember the times you were retarded, running down Wall Street with your head tilted sideways, panicked over margin liquidations.
See folks, life is all about redemption. Some of us are really good when dealing with adversity, others fold like the NY Mets coming down the stretch.
As for me, well, I will not trade the opening tick or anything before 10am. Too much noise, not enough substance.
