Small Time Trading

[benchman]

Pretty craptastic day here. Account value down almost $1,000. What makes that worse, is that it was up like $1,300 or so early this morning. As usual my day was controlled by ESV.

ESV closed down .19 to $4.91 (-3.73%). Oil had been up over 2%, and ESV had been up .25. Then the inventory report came out, and oil went negative. So did the drillers. Then oil rebounded, and closed up .82%. The drillers rebounded some, but all closed in the red. What makes that worse, is that ESV underperformed all of them. RIG closed down only .37%. I will say though that ESV did outperform them when oil was up over 2%.

TPLM did what it has done for the last week or so. Nice buying at the ask (.029), at least 100,000 shares, and then a bid paint to close it down at the end of the day. It closed at .0271, down .0007. The stock has been trading between .027 and .029 primarily.

MAAFF unchanged with no volume as usual.
