My General Sentiment on Life At This Moment Can Be Best Described By.... 2008-03-17 00:32:19 His co-worker Freamon is the man who found a balance between his work life and his private self, an equilibrium that came at a price. Freamon languished for 13 years-and four months- in the Kafkaesque hell of the department's pawn-shop unit before he finally transferred in Lt. Cedric Daniels' investigative unit. And it's Freamon who tries to slap some verbal sense into McNulty whenever the young detective lets his impatient heart get in front of his head"A life, Jimmy, you know what that is? It's the shit that happens while you're waiting for moments that never come."-Lester Freamon on The Wire Read more:Moment

Cut my Losses 2008-04-09 12:24:12 I cut my losses with BIG and EWT. I won't be looking for reentry points any time soon, but BIG looks like it might be a good buy in a couple of days. I've made significant progress in revising, paper trading, and back-testing my new trading plan. BIG and EWT are two trades that I've made since my revision of the trading plan. My hiatus from blogging has to do with the fact that I have been studying for my college courses. For me, trading is a hobby. I haven't been consistent enough to call it any where near a career. This summer, I will be interning at The Boeing Company as a financial intern. That is the 411 on my status. As always, I will be looking to improve my trading and learning more from other bloggers out there. Read more:Losses
SOLD BA, PICKED UP... 2008-04-30 15:02:05 I had to let go of BA today. I didn't want to, but everything was pointing to a very overbought short term stock. -Declining positive volume over the past couple days-Resistance at around $86-Stochastic as well as the RSI indicating very overbought-Red candle today did it for meI wanted to protect my profits. Too many time in the past have I seen myself give back my profits. I entered in (factoring in commission) at $78.44 and sold at 85.44. This gives me a 8.92% profit on that trade. Looking back I had my stop at around 76.5 and took a risk R of 1.58. Selling this trade may come back and bite my in the butt because of Boeing's strong fundamentals, but I think in the short run it was a decent trade to make. If it fall back to a certain level, I will consider entering it once again. And out
SOLD ANR (Alpha Natural Resources) +12.58% 2008-05-09 01:35:38 Upon reading The Market Speculator's post on ANR, I did further research and similarly decided to enter the trade. My mental stop was a bit above the 50 Day Moving Average at $47.5. My R was 1.4. I entered at $50.63/share and sold today at $57/share for a 12.58% profit. It took a lot of "self-convincing" for me to sell this stock today because of its strong chart. But I wanted to secure some of my unrealized gains the market has generated in past few weeks. Additionally, this stock looked like the "weakest" in my portfolio. It's STO indicates that it's overbought. It looks like support is just under $55. But, I don't believe it can get back to oversold without dipping below $55. I will be keeping an eye on this stock because it looks like a good stock to trade in and out of. Ultimately, re Read more:Alpha

SOLD V (VISA) +6.51% GAIN 2008-05-12 09:57:49 I entered around 74.54/Share and sold at 79.39. I had set my stop at 72.5, which gave me an R of 1.7. Last week I was debating to sell or not, and I should have pull the trigger to sell. I was on the fence about being "long-term" or "short-term", but I don't have the gonads to hold through the "pain" of the past three days.I gave back too much profit. Ultimately, I needed to protect my gains and h
