Have you seen my ass? part 666 ~ We need "DISCIPLINE!"

Last nights premature celebration, about the DIPfolio at all time highs, blah, blah ...

Have you seen my ass?  

We need "DISCIPLINE!" ... STEEL & COAL DIED.  ... The "late to the coal party" team got blown out JRCC down 22%, ICO down 19%, BUCY down 12% ....  all SOLD for HUGE LOSSES.  Then AKS broke 11%, GGB down 6%+... all common stocks SOLD today for HUGE LOSSES, and our options are DEAD MONEY.     We sold XTO, PDE, and NE for minimal overall gains.  Unhappy with Cappy (CPST) got sold, (SWC) is no (PAL) of ours, both hit 10% stop loss ... We even sold out HKGG (1500% profits) and HKGH (1000%+ profits) ... but still, we couldn't sell things fast enough.   Today we LOST our ASS!    

Trent says, "I NEED YOUR DISCIPLINE!"  



CASH is KING!!!  

The SHORT BUS rolls on IBM, ORCL, R, CNW, URBN, DECK, YZC, CAT, BG (although we sold more than half our shorts last friday, these saved us today) ... we also bought puts on HBC which is going under $70 and a few puts on KOL, try KOLSX! ... KOLSuX!  ... and as our HK hedge, we bought puts on GDP.  Remember,  BOTD will hold HK until FLOYD sells the company.  today sucked ass.  the end. 


who needs the VIX?

 when our emotions have us thinking,  ...

 "I am the GREATEST!"

 ... it's a good indicator that we need to take profits.   

LESSON #87:  be humble, ... or be humbled.

I did well today on ENER (short) and SWN (long) so I think I'm gonna drink Jack and smoke a big cigar over the 4th. And work on my "Jump on the Train" automated momentum "Take Profits Quickly" trading system. Because without money there is no snorting coke off a strippers ass...

I'm sorry, I should have said that "Take Profits Quickly" (TM) is a registered trademark of BOTD, Inc. My bad.

GDP puts are taking some of the HK pain away.

GDP down 11%, taking some quick profits! GDPSN up 145% ....

KOLSX up nicely.

puts of power!

BG at $93 down 7% , we added puts at $120+ , selling the rest of our puts now.

wanting to BUY HK under $40. and AGU in the 80's ...

BUY ON THE DIP said...

ps... You can trade options just like stocks...and yes, if it goes to zero you lose your entire initial investment.

What if it goes down to zero, and then the next day or two it goes back up to lets say $1, do you lose all your money on zero? or do you get it back when it goes back up?

thanks for all your help!

BUY ON THE DIP said...

J,

hmmm...

its not dead until the expiration date... so yes, if it went to .05cents and then back to $1 ... you are still holding the 'shares' ... and can sell or hold, etc.
