TraderMom Vs. Somali Pirates

Posted by Satuki On April - 13 - 2009

The market was very choppy today and I took a beating(-1300).  I took 3 trades that were 1 small winner(bidu) and 2 big losers(SRS and FAZ).   You can see the trades in my portfolio.
 

 

I guess this had something to do with  the Somali pirates that were shot dead by the Navy snipers.  What were these pirates thinking?  They had a horrible set-up(asking the massive warship to tow them) with a horrible risk/reward ratio of 3:1. How did they come up with this kind of set-up? This question bugged me all day long and totally distracted me. These Damn Pirates!  However, I still had a tiny winner and they were all losers.  So I beat them by a very small margin today.

 

Here are the 2 big losers. 2 pictures are worth 2 thousand words.

 

 

 

Tell me whether I have beaten the pirates…….

    I am glad FAZ is moving up today although I am still down big. Your comparsion referring to our dead comrades was NOT even funny.

      I did fine shorting GS yesterday. The market is way overdue for a correction. Also the wall street crooks are much more despicable than us. We are just some starving fishmen.

    Nice SRS today TM.

    I wish I had your courage. As it turns out, looks like we were long from about the same price(33.40 here). But, I had small shares and that headfake at 3:00 stopped me out at 35.

    Nice job.

    @Pirates. Thanks for being funny. I hope you guys did well today.
    @ traderx, My position size in SRS was pretty close to what I had yesterday. I thought about buying 300 shares and I bought a bit more. I am writing up a post now to summarize today’s trade
