Trade Journal for Dummies(Before da-Bell))!
Wow, it's a Miracle, we're actually gonna GAP-Up like we expected, BUT, still not as high as we had originally thought, whatever!?
We suspect today will be extremely "PAIN-FULL" for BOTH Bears and Bulls alike, why, well, because yesterday we Long-Stop-Swept the longs off da-Board, we enticed the Shorts to DOUBLE DOWN (thanks Shorts), and this setups a recipe for a CLOSE at the Highs today, how freakin Sweeet is dat!
Today the longs who got taken off da-Board have to watch as da-Boyz walk-r up in a steady creep higher, the shorts (might as well call-em FROGS at this point), will sit in their Ja-Cooz-e's thinking life is GOOD but da-Boyz will be "SLOW-E" turning up da-heat all day and by the time the day ends they'll be, well, COOK'd and BUY-ing with reckless abandon into the close, silly Shorts, LOLOLOLOL!
In addition, the longs who got taken OUT of da-Game down at 791 and 29.66 will also wait until the END of the Day to say, "Holy-Chit, I betta GET Back in DARE and NOW", oh boy, sighhhhhhhhhhhh!!??
Boyz, you deserve some "Kudoze" and Respect for your ability to, well, "Play-em like a Fiddle", da-play-ar's of TA, Charts, Fibs & LIes dat is, LOLOLOL!
ENJOY da-Show ALL, we know we will as we take on CASH and Profits, well, AGAIN, WooHoo!
posted last nite with the "Update" post:
Wow, what a day, da-Boyz pretty much DUP’d BOTH the Bulls and Bears alike and in the meantime we made $5400 and brought our weekly total to $11,750! That’s special but we still sport a loss on Open positions of ($21,840), giving us a Net loss this OE period of ($10,090), Son of a……, we have some werk to do to make our port whole again!?
I know it’s pretty much “Impossible” to believe but I’m now told that a -8.0% GDP is a GOOD thing because it signals a Bottom to the “Hard Times”, hmmm, works for me, hence, we suppose to get a 10% rally tomorrow with da-Boyz GAP-ing up above the resistance levels of 828 and 31.35, hey, we’ll play along and be dare Huckle-Berry-Fin, LOL!
Since we're going up 10% tomorrow I left the Apr28 puts at ZERO, what's da-Point of giving-em value!
If you we’re Long and got your Stop triggered and were “Swept” off da-Table, me-condolences for sure, if you’re Short and all smug about it, well, consider your SorryAsskieSelf Erased from da-Board as da-Boyz make a RUN for 37.77 by 17Apr, OUCH!?
And for you Boyz, a Big Shout-Out and well done me-amigos and MOST-lee what we needed from YOU, Thanks!
