Car Wreck!

Posted by Satuki On January - 7 - 2009

The husband wrecked his car today due to the faulty weather. He is actually a very good driver. He does not have a single ticket and never had an accident in the past. Thank God that none of the people involved in the accident was hurt. The car was not totaled. But it will cost a few thousand to have it fixed since he only has liability. He is still mentally stunned as I am writing this. Errrrrr… X dropped 7% today.. now onto stocks.

 

I added 2 in My Portfolio as you can see. FSLR and HES were stronger then I thought. They did not perform(drop) well today. My trailing stops for FSLR and HES have kicked in. So if they do not gap up significantly, these 2 guys will not become losers. X actually performed much better than all those in my portfolio. In fact, along with X, MOS,FSLR and GS, I was also watching PCX, DRYS and WLT. As you can see PCX, DRYS and WLT dropped spectacularly. PCX -15% ,DRYS -16% and WLT -11%. So FSLR and HES were like peanuts. I have a preference for high-priced stocks. But I am really starting to think about balancing my portfolio a little bit. In fact, I should have shorted all them and used smaller positions such as $5000 per position. I am seriously thinking about this strategy now. It is like casting a fishing-net. The bigger your net is, the more fish you will catch.

 

 

I miss my biking days in Japan. BTW, I grew up in Japan and I rode a bike to school and work everyday. It is good for health, environment, no maintenance cost and just good for everything. It is so dangerous to ride a bike where I live now.

Safe Driving, everyone.

    Randall, You are right. A great trader should be able to swing both sides. He/she should feel as comfortable about being a bear as a bull. You should be able to see my portfolio. Try this http://momdaytrader.serveblog.net:7070/PortfWeb...
