Glorious day here in Vancouver with fresh snow on the mountain tops. Busy day here with several trades opening and closing all before I take my boys to pre-school.
Of note yesterday I longed MON around 68 and took a +.50 gain or so only to sit and watch it run 2 more points without me. Need to work on that obviously, it really comes from fear of giving back a gain. Same as poker, one needs to be willing to lose to win.
MON +$140
I was stopped out of my BIDU short this am, nice little run for me +7.03 on 25 measly shares. From 621.90 to 614.87 for +$176. I think that trade worked well and I managed it very well.
As I recently sold AMZN and WYNN I keep a careful eye for a new run, both ran this am. AMZN a break above 137, I got long at 137.18 and added more a buck later. I sold for 139.16 and am watching it run to new highs 140.46 so far. That is fine with me, I did very well and am not chasing it here. +1.72 average for +$862.
WYNN this am was a nice continuation run from a few days ago. It took a nice rest at 83 and broke today and ran very nicely. I wish I could hold long term I really like this name. I got long at 83.07 and sold at 85.14 using a virtual trailing stop .40. So far it looks good but WYNN could easily run more. +2.07 for $620.
I went long GOOG this am off the OR high and was filled at 563.50, I have 2.5 pts so far and have a virtual trailing stop .95. I am locked for 2 pts no matter.
