If you are long Ftek. You made money today. Unfortunately, I have a couple puts on it. It seems to be setting up as a solid long. Other then the fact they offered an awful quarterly report to shareholders and lowered guidance it’s a fine pick.
My only hope is [...]

Playing the desperate man

Posted on August 7, 2007. Filed under: Market, Markets, Money, Stocks, investment, options, trade, trading |

I doubled down on the optionn this morning.  I bought an FTEK 25 aug .60 put.  So I have two with an average price of .75  .  This is most likely the end of the game.   I will follow the “no look policy”.  OK, maybe a peek at noon.
  This stock will need [...]

Posted on August 6, 2007. Filed under: Market, Markets, Money, Stocks, investment, options, trade, trading |

 
I have to put into place the “no look” policy.  Why?  Well, one of the rules is these trades need to be boring.  If I’m watching, I’
m often creating excitement and emotion that will allow me to justify bad choices. Also, it takes away from my current source of income.  Sometimes my choices save trades, sometimes it [...]

I’m in the negative.  Time to review why!.
It’s mostly about my stops…. 
I’m not setting my stops properly; A) I’m setting them to far back, B) I’m removing my stops, C) I’m moving my stops forward to fast not allowing the trade to mature in to a longer more profitable run. 
Based on my picks, the stocks [...]

I’m headed out. Ftek seems to have leveled off. I’m sitting at about 1.35. I need $1.40 for profit. It has been as high has $1.60. I have a $1.05 stop. (should get .95-1.05 if it goes there). Down seems to be the trend.
midday still at par. I’ll [...]
