The Perfectly Timed Vacation

It's been six weeks and the stockless and unwired vacation has wound down. To my surprise I see that BP bottomed right when I covered my July puts at a profit and since its nearly 39% up. Euro went from 1.22's to 1.33's and so on. Its time for me to find the reigns and take control of the market once more.

It will be a week or two until I get my trading groove on but for now i've updated the Current Pick's page on top.
here are the main indices.

    Fed leaves rates lower and unchanged for so long, and all of a sudden its a hugely anticipated FOMC event today? sup w dat?

  • K

    heh.
    you know… low rates of 0% mean more money for big bank speculators to borrow at less risk hence they threw at the market.

    It isnt hard really to see where this is going. once rate hikes begin and the economy is still in ruins it will mean more expensive credit for little guys and less speculation from big guys.

    so yeah we were down and then gained back the losses for the day.

    I’m still observing the market from afar and no real trades have occurred but its been tempting.

    see why i want to trade world markets. i already caught a rip on shorting FAS yesterday from 22.8, still open but i sold a 20 put today for .83… also yest got in SPXU avg 29.50, sold that today at 31.55… freaking+2 but i could go asian and other markets right now and catch the selloff there too… then close up and go to sleep with an even bigger smile on my face

    hang seng down 320 and falling

  • daniel-san
