Trade Journal for Dummies(Before da-Bell)!
Bada-Bing, Bada-Boom, got filled on dem Apr29 calls!
Wow, our 4cast for a GAP Down of .070 cents was, well, Waaay Offfff, LOL!!
Play-ar’s, if you’re gonna rely on your 4cast, TA, Charts, Fibs & Lies, well, then you’re gonna have days like dis-One, oh boy, sighhhhhhhh!
Apparently da-Boz are still in Shock-n-Awe mode and they be rdy to take MORE play-ar’s off da-Game-Bored, OUCH! We suspect they’ll Hold prices up for the first 30 minutes as they distribute to all the Shorts who got “You’ve Got Margin Calls” in their mail-box(s) this morning! Then they’ll JAM-em up to a new HOD before letting prices fall back below 31.00, they will NOT fill the GAP at 30.77 however!!
We’ll obvious-lee be taking on CASH and Profits exiting some of our Long plays, WooHoo!
Posted last nite with the "Update" post:
Wow, today was another example of what value 4cast, TA, Charts, Fibs & Lies have, Absolute-lee Nuttin, LOL!
We did get a GAP down but then da-Boyz played DUP da-Shorts and High-Tailed it for the High Road, Sweeeeeeeeeet!
We made some nice coin today, $3400, but more importantly we continue to position ourselves for the next Big Break-Out and we LIKE IT!
We expect a GAP Down tomorrow but a Close at the Highs just in time for the RIMM earnings announcement after da-Bell, dem Boyz sure know how to “Manipulate” prices before Big News events and we LIKE IT!
