i bought tuesday at the open. 500 shares of VTI, 50 of VO. had to keep it simple because volume was so high that i was getting kicked out of merill edge repeatedly.
still up most other purchases were early dec and jan. early dec purchases down a little, jan purchases down a lot i am bullish. but it's hard not to keep looking --- And when the hourglass has run out, eternity asks you about only one thing: whether you have lived in despair or not. ...

I bought 100 DWDP on Tuesday 30 min after open. Still up about 50 cents from when I bought it including today's drop.

Looking more and more like a bull trap yeah, it feels like one, which is the only reason i don't think it is one. my gut is almost always wrong. also, TRIN and relative VIX suggested tuesday morning was a likely bottom. hit 50! the whole thing might've been driven by the total annihilation of the VIX short ETNs. --- And when the hourglass has run out, eternity asks you about only one thing: whether you have lived in despair or not. ...

Added to AMZN, SGMO, bought back into NVDA and started a position in ELY all on the dip earlier in the week and a little today. Was forced to scalp some when we ran back up so quickly.

Same day. I checked back in near the end of the day and saw everything had been going in a straight line upward for a couple hours. Made me a little uncomfortable so I did some scalping. Those algos man.

Feels bad man i think you made a good call esp if you bought at the open my market orders at the open are still up a good bit really don't think we're in a bear market, and if we are not, it shouldnt correct too much more i am prepared for however much volatility it takes though --- And when the hourglass has run out, eternity asks you about only one thing: whether you have lived in despair or not. ...

I think everything it's gonna bounce back, for awhile atleast. But who knows, this could be the long awaited fall back to earth.
Im not really worried about it. Sure short term losses don't feel good but I'm here for the long haul. Part of me wants a bear market so I can get in some strong positions at a good price --- "People incapable of guilt usually do have a good time" -Detective Rust Cohle ... Copied to Clipboard!
