Gap down this morning, then bounce up. What a crazy market. Now to get filled on a few new issues.

8/29/2007- Inside morning
At the open there was a slight gap up, then fall back. I had put together a list of shorts, for the day to fade this move.

8/27/2007 - Back in the saddle
Well I am back to the home office this morning. I did enter and exit several trades last Wednesday through Friday from the road.

8/22/2007- Opening gap
We still may have a quiet day, probably some light chop with a slight upward bias. There is no real catalyst for movement today. We will see.

8/20/2007- Sideways chop after last week's busy week
It feels like market is very heavy. I am playing choppy to down. My acct to a very nice spike up on the open. $500 to a $1000+ a day is pretty nice, I am ok with this. EVERYTHING spread this morning. I would like to get out of a few of these in anticipation of another market drop, and a number of trades presenting themselves. I was in a trading friend's office today, Playing around and making 10-20k, I guess I need to think bigger. The good news is that he has asked me to meet with him regarding some of my option trading strategies, and implementing them in his business. Very Nice.
The Movie: Federal Reserve part 4 of 5 television is not the truth. People do what ever the tube tells them. Trading, war, beliefs or purchases
I became a little impatient on one of my trades. I want to ready myself for an increase in movement, and preserve some mental capital. ♠
BMY- Mar/Jan 30p. It was still within my risk parameters, and it was two months wide. But it wasn't opening or reacting very well. So I decided to exit 2 units for .15. I made a few cents, after commission on it. I'm out of this trade.
CY - I exited 1 unit @ .15.
ALD - Sold 1 unit of Feb/Jan 35p for .20. This spread has been pretty wild, but has not traded much.
ALKS - Bought 1 unit of feb/jan 17.5p for .05
UNM - Sold 2 unit of 25p (ATM) for .17. It hasn't widened much, but there was still nice profit.
LYO - Sold 1 unit of Mar/Jan 40p for .20. I think I bought this by someones mistake yesterday. As soon as I sent the order in I was filled, then the spread adjusted. I was filled in the afternoon on this one. I was an overnight double. It all adds up.
IWM - OCT/Sept double double 70/7283/85 for .50 debit.
This band sounds so good live. It somehow relates to the above video.

8/16/2007 - World Markets crack, (then rebound?)
Worldwide panic this morning. I am looking at the short-term bottom here. Insane selling this morning. Amateurs at the beginning, pros backed it up.

8/15 - Sub-prime madness continues
Information from around the word is coming out relating to the Sub-prime. I don't think this is over, and the UNCERTAINTY seems to have people heading for the doors. The Market can absorb bad news, but uncertainty is what the mkts don't like.

8/14 - testing the lows.
The market started up on OK PPI numbers. And then it lost footing and retested the lows. It did hit the up trend line and the Aug 10th low and then rebounded on low volume.

8/13 - Pumping up a leaky tire
The Fed injected some liquidity, and up the market goes.

8/9- Crater open, gap fill, crater close
It was a brutal open. Wow. The S&P futures were down 30pts at the open. Awesome selling to open. A trader should never dump their shares at the open on such a move.

8/8 - Charge to 1495, and beyond
The market has made a strong move to the downtrend lines. 1495 was the intersection of the downtrend line for the SPX. The market pushed, fell, and stalled.

8/7/2007 - Are you sea sick yet?
I'm walking to the rail. There are lots of people throwing up over the side of the boat. It is an enjoyable market for me to trade right now.

The Air Carve Project
If you enjoy the bumps, then this is a move worth owning.
The "Air Carve". It goes beyond "functional air". There can be elements of flash, beyond the function.

8/3/07 - No real bounce
Markets made no progress this week. That was ok though, the acct did great. I gained 6% to the portfolio this week.

8/1/2007 - The sky is falling, the sky is falling
Is there reason not to be long, absolutely. Is there reason to panic, not so much.
