Seattle

Trading has many perks and I have found that one of them is traveling. Traveling to different cities for different conferences can be rewarding. Of course I tell my wife that it is a lot of work and the food isn't like her home cooking, and not to mention the crummy hotel accommodations.
Trading has taken me to Michigan, St. Louis, San Diego, Salt Lake City, Las Vegas, Sacramento(home) and I am hoping Chicago in August.

PCAR - must I say any more?

I bought PUTs on RYL last Friday as it was looking juicy.


HERO - have been watching this since Easter. Tom Malone turned me on to this one as a possible buy out candidate. I have been intrigued by the huge pick up in volume and the lack of price movement. Look at how constricted the bollinger bands have been for an extended length of time. The Volume picked up and the stock started to move on Monday, so I did a "mixed bag" thing again. Just a hunch at the time as no break out occurred but feeling good (lucky) now.

CG - mentioned the other day gave three more fine entry points before doing its thing. I got in on the highlighted day.

ACI - bought this morning when it was down .20 cents. Got lucky has it took off.

AMR - a classical example why stop losses have to be used. I set mine at yesterdays open price and was triggered for a profit! I still think that this presents a nice shorting opportunity.

I felt blesseed today to have a surprise guest speaker and someone who I admire speak in my class, Tim Knight. He is the chartist of all times. Everybody should get his book.
