shitty day

i stupidly drank too much last night, celebrating the election victory and it was a real challenge to wake up this morning. which is why i dumped my BNI puts at the open. made nice coin on them, but if i had held to the close....

then i went back to sleep and woke up at 1:30pm.

the market looked awful. my gut said that we would sink all through the day. but, i broke my discipline and bought some AAPL at 106. the market absolutely tanked as i predicted and my AAPL calls are now in deep water.

i bought some NUE, RIMM and BNI at the close, hoping for a bounce tomorrow. they are at low's of the day...good prices, but not fantastic.

i have a feeling we might open up and trend lower before bouncing up for good. or we could open lower and bounce up....which would not be good...that's a bearish signal.

i screw around

i partied too much last night...oy vey !!! and so i did not get up out of bed until 11am. actually sometimes this trick works, because if it's low at 9:30 i am always tempted to sell, but this way it might go lower or higher and so i kinda arrive at the right time. but, if i am WORRIED about a stock, sleep is SO irrelevant.
but, today the trick did not work, even though unemployment was through the roof. very surprising i would not have expected the market to rally on that. i sold my rs for a small profit, but missed the low on bni and it went up by a point. this ofcourse only enraged me, since no way we are rallying huge on 5.1 unemployment. i shorted some more, went to bed, woke up at 2pm and lo and behold the top had been set in and bni was ready to die. i bought some more puts and also some on Stld, which was up 2 points + , yeah right. sold them all at the end, to end the friday on a good note. now i shall reward myself with some Cafe Asia food. Yay me !!!
