Dumb Trading Mistake October 12, 2009
I sold my RINO position too early this morning. Instead of waiting longer, I sold it as soon as I had a small profit in it. Then I watched it climb another dollar, leaving a $1000 on the table. I do this way too often. I'll have a stock position with a loss and then I sell it as soon as it goes green, only to watch it shoot higher. I need to develop more patience.
I bought back into RINO at $25.40, nearly a dollar higher than where I sold it earlier this morning. I hope I'm not compounding......

Seeing Green Today October 09, 2009
Surprisely my portfolio is showing mostly green today. There are still 7 hours to go though until the markets close. My two largest portfolio postions, RINO and AONE can change direction on a dime. It's also Friday which tends to be voluble and I'm seeing low volume on all the buying so far. Hopefully we end the week on an up note.

RINO Woes October 08, 2009
I'm down big time in my portfolio today thanks to my position in RINO. It has bounced around all morning, at one point being down $2.45. They announced a shelf registration after the bell yesterday and it's spooking traders today. The selling is a typical over reaction to this type of news, which is actually good news in my opinion. I think eventually we get a move back up and continue the march towards $30 a share.
