Small Time Trading

[benchman]

Account value down almost $1,400 today. That wiped out my Monday and Tuesday gains and then some. Perfect storm for the account in a bad way. Oil down a whopping 3.7% and a bad rumor on Rite-Aid came out.

ESV was down .13 to $8.19, and was as low as $8.14. I still have a buy order in at $8.00.

RAD down .39 to $4.08. The rumor was in a Seeking Alpha article that the FTC is considering a lawsuit against Walgreens and Rite-Aid because they put a deadline on an FTC decision. No way to know whether this is true, but it had it's affect for sure.

The RAD calls were unchanged at .01.

MAAFF had a painters day. The stock started out .009 x .0035, so someone painted the .035. My account looked really nice at that point. Then someone painted the .009. Followed by someone painting the ask which moved down to .02, and lastly just before the close someone painted the bid at .01. Total shares traded: 8,000.

DHT somehow bucked the trend and closed up .02 to $4.59.

I will not be online much the next two days. I will have a bunch of orders in because of this.
