Account value down $960 today. It has been a pretty brutal week. Besides selling TMPS at .19, I also moved $1,000 into the brokerage account. That should erase the margin call.
The main driver of today's loss was ESV, which was down .17 to $5.09. Oil was up again, by about a half percent. Of the drillers I follow, ESV had the worst day. I am assuming today's drop is tax loss related, and since ESV has performed worse than the other drillers it is taking more of a hit.
The other contributor was TMPS, since it had closed at .22 yesterday, and I sold at .19. Other than that, my other positions had little affect on the account.
Have a good weekend everyone.
