What happened to RAD? Ugh...
Our scripts look to be trying to spike up...
Funny you mention that...I'm currently trying to find someone to ride along with me to Florida to ride out the hurricane in Ocala before heading out after the storm to volunteer with the first responders...
So much truth to that...especially lately. They will fly north... $.03 and then ride there all day and tank the next morning.
I don't know what happened today but F fell like a freaking rock this morning.......ughhhh
Just kidding...I got into Ford @ $.04. AKS @ $.06.
Hopefully Ford will bump up enough tomorrow that it'll trigger my sell.
I got in Ford too high ($.06)...did better than usual though. Barely up enough today to cover commissions so I'm holding til tomorrow. Set a sell order today hoping to unload for meager profits right as the day ended but it came up just short and didn't trigger it. Hoping to see it run a bit more tomorrow as I don't want to hold through Friday.
AKS tried to move today but just couldn't get any legs.
GE $26 calls are murdering me...hoping to offset that loss on some gains elsewhere.
Our "scripts" moved some more today...but still not enough to make up for my losses. If I could afford to average down I would just so I could get out even and/or pick up some later calls. Mine are all 9/15...and after that 8k about refiling the paperwork or whatever delaying things til at least 9/18, I might be in trouble there.
F looking good now...all ADX's crossed positive and CCI20 spiked up over 100
F also looks to be making another go but it's still early...we'll have to see what it does.
AKS, SAR flipped and all is looking good
F is soooo close!
Down for me as well...both on desktop version and my mobile.
I'm jealous... my dad needs to hurry up and buy a weekend house there so I can use it. hahaha
Great job!
We appreciate everything you've done to teach us, Sam...I have reset my account with $500 and am now trying to play ultra conservatively.
Impatience has always been my biggest downfall and I have to break that habit.
Holy crap...any news out? That sucker launched end of day...
RAD, Check out Oct 06 $2.50 calls...ask is $.15 yet $3 calls ask is $.29.
Weird...
Alright all...life has been really kicking me in the teeth as of lately. My ex was supposed to be moving out last weekend and she ended up staying at least for the time being. While things are still really confusing between us, she did finally admit she's still in love with me but she's confused and scared because of my financial mess I've been in and she feels like if she marries me, she'll marry a lifetime of debt and headaches.
Short version...I have been at my job for almost 14 years. I'm 31. I'm 1099'd...and as a teenager who had no experience with 1099's I got overwhelmed with taxes very quickly. I now owe the IRS a small fortune because once I got so far behind, I just gave up.
So I got ahold of an extra $500 for my etrade account...it becomes available on 9/1.
No more impatience or overconfidence. No more jumping the gun on a gamble and no more buying on unsettled funds. I'm going to play smart like my life depends on this because truthfully, it does. If I run out of money again, it could be a long while before I can afford to try again.
Wish me luck...and wish me patience!
But "it kills brain cells" lol

Yep...most pharmaceuticals are majorly over-prescribed. My ex is in the process of moving out which has my anxiety through the roof and she got ticked at me last night because I started drinking again.
Mind you, I've never been a major alcoholic...I just stopped because I tend to get stupid when I drink heavily.
But with all my anxiety I have been physically sick, having chest pains, and my hands shaking so bad I look like I'm getting Parkinson's. Two shots, that's all it takes...and I'm golden. Everything goes away for a while and I calm right down. I deal with depression and have since I was just a kid...but when most anti-depressants are notorious for side effects that cause suicidal thoughts...gee...do I drink a couple shots or go get an Rx for Paxil? lol
Agree 100%...I lost thousands from the SEC "saving me".
I'm so thankful......
VXX puts are looking better...needs to crash so I can sell this week's at least at or near break even
Easier to get popped for pattern day trading though, isn't it? Definitely gotta be a bit more cautious at least
VXX -- Just an FYI, I don't recall seeing it mentioned, but I read they will be conducting a 1 for 4 reverse split I think on 8/23. I know it's a lot different with options, but if you're playing it next week, things will look a bit wonky after 8/23.
Morning all!
Looks like VXX is gapping down this am...think it'll keep dropping or bounce right back after the first hour?
I've got some $12.50 puts I'd love to make a few bucks on today lol
Wow, you rocked it today!
Bought too high on Monday and then sold as I was headed to work fearing a drop when I was unable to pay attention to it...I get nervous holding on this long.
Kicking myself now though...I could have quadrupled my money had I held. Gah!
Thankfully it was only $150 investment...but I sold for a $50 loss when I could have made approx $300.
VXX...can't believe I sold for a loss...
I picked up a couple puts for tomorrow figuring it'll collapse soon enough. Of course now it needs to really collapse for me to make money. Argh. lol
Must be my computer...working fine on my phone...argh...
VXX is really screaming today...I probably could have got out in the green had I waited to pull the trigger. lol
Is Stockcharts.com acting all wonky for anyone else? Can't get it to load right on my PC (layout is messed up bigtime)...and when I search for charts, it won't load anything related to the chart I searched for.
LOL!
When I had my VXX calls, I kept saying, "Come on North Korea! Make another threat! Get the news talking again!"
I was going to do the same but the prices...yeeesh. lol
I jumped the gun on VXX earlier this week...bought $12.50's at .33 and it tanked. Had I waited a couple hours I could have got $12's for less than I paid for the $12.50's.
Sold for a mediocre loss today but thankfully that spike prevented a total loss...lol.
It's approaching 52 week lows...let's see a huge bounce dammit!
Morning all...still reading every post and holding some RAD for mid-Sept and just a couple VXX. Of course, bought the VXX when I thought it looked near bottom and prepping for a nice bounce and then it decided to find a new bottom. Ugh. lol
Geeze...if anybody was still holding some $13 calls, they should be sitting pretty right now
RAD, It is doji dancing hardcore today...
I use a cash personal brokerage account on Etrade... $4.95 USD per trade + $.50/contract. It's a little higher if you don't trade much but if you place more than 30 trades a quarter, you get that pricing.
RAD is trying hard for liftoff
I second this...no good for storage but great for OS. My old solid state laptop would fully boot in under 15 seconds.
