Mac OS X - Disappointing for this switcher

So, I bought a Macbook Pro, the new Santa Rosa one with 2.4GHz, 160Gb 7200RPM and a matte screen. Delivery was slow, about 3 weeks so I’m guessing there’s high demand (or production issues). Anyways, I needed wanted a new machine because my one year old Acer was starting to show signs of fatigue in […]

Thursday trades

Things were looking very bullish early on Thursday day so I was looking long quite aggressively. I got into these stocks: AVCI, JNPR, CBST, IGT and IBM. Alas after about 45-60min they were all starting to show signs of distress and demise :-) I managed to get a bit out of AVCI so the end […]

Tuesday trades

More of the same stuff like yesterday. I traded NVLS, CIB, ROH and PPP. Unfortunately I was too aggressive on stops this time and didn’t really benefit from NVLS’s move. PPP went blah but CIB and ROH worked sufficiently to be able to close with P&L of +4R.

Monday trades

Kind of choppy day and not many movers. Understandable after the last few days action. I traded BRLC, ENT and IMMR. Pity IB didn’t FRPT available for shorting. End result is +0.8R.

There is now an option (not activated by default) to save your settings into IB’s server so it’s always available no […]

Friday trades and some observations

I was really struggling last night with tiredness. It felt like my brain was working at less than 50% capacity. I’m not sure why since I have not slept less than usual but I felt like I was in a sleep deprivation experiment and my actions were mechanic and on automatic pilot without much thinking. […]
