Shorting - Ouch

20%+ drop experimenting with shorting. I think I'm done with for the moment.

I feel like I should be trash talking right now... if only my real account looked so good

Crimson

Crimson is kicking ass considering he came on at the beginning of Jan with a few of us other poor saps who got clobbered.

Suspicions

Why do I have a sinking suspicion that the Fed will not be able to please the market this week?

i definitely agree, but, one must ask, is this a bottom, or the new top? i plan on waiting these out anyway, its a very long year.

don't sell into it

Don't sell today - the market is hitting a 10% loss over 5-days. This has only happened 6 times. The average return after those 5 days is over 5%. Wait for that, then consider moving to cash or a treasury etf.

5-7% drop today

everything is going to hell! i am actually considering pulling everything out and starting later in the year.

Lame

Not trading is lame that's the whole point right?

Ups and downs

I am assuming a lot of ups and downs this month. Prolly safest to go cash, but I tried that before and it's no fun.

Citi!

Wow, it was a bad call getting in yesterday... I never could have called this Citigroup thing, or would have thought it would be this bad.
