Ladies and gentlemen I’ve done it again. The session is wrapped up, the best day of the year for the Dow-as a matter of fact-and looking at my portfolio’s gains you would think I was levered long. I gained 2.4% today even though I started the day with 50% cash. Bananas, I know. I had a couple monsters in my port though. They did horrible things to the shorts today.
I was in a rather gregarious mood from the moment I woke up today, mostly stemming from the fact that I recaptured my raw tick data on the S&P March future contract. When it was taken from me last night, it felt like the time my Spanish teacher took my magical deck of cards away.
He caught me shuffling one handed while we watched Salina and snatched the cards cold out of my hand. I met him after class and kindly asked for the cards back since they were a gift from my parents. I explained how they traveled to the mystical lands of Las Vegas for the cards, and how it was quite the journey. I did not get my cards back, but was instead shown the trash bin, where he proudly displayed his work: he had cut each and every card in half. I learned that day to never trust a Spaniard.
Anyway, with my data in tote and a fresh coat of snow on the ground, I smooth cruised (No Triumph) into the office. As the day progressed, I started hearing the pump whispers. It was time to throw out a few #trampstamps:
Here's 1500, first big test coming @ you 15 minutes in. Place YER bets

I was in a gregarious mood then, it carried throughout the session and before I knew it my 50% cash became 30% and I had many more shares of CMG, ZNGA, ANGI, and CREE. Hell I bought some KORS too, hoping to get elizamae back hooked on that crack. Now I have a bit of a shameover © because a few of the names lost crucial ground at the bells. But like a proper bad influence I have BIG Ben handing me a fresh cup of kool-aid, telling me, “ga’head, speculate on the GOOD stuff.”
