October 31st, 2008

I’ve done nothing today.  Still sitting big on cash.  I’d really like to see if we can close above Tuesday’s highs before I do anything.  Ideally, I’d like to see some sort of retracement first. Anyways, here’s an update from my old coworker: “damn. yeehaw. I’m up 200% on LVS. I just bought it Monday.“ [...]

October 30th, 2008

Dimitar Berbatov.  I was watching this game yesterday and the dude put on the sickest move: I’m definitely gonna try this move in my next soccer game.  I will probably fall flat on my face, but what a sick move. So, I was looking like a genius yesterday after I sold everything right before the [...]

Capitulation

October 29th, 2008

I just capitulated.  We surged into the close, so I’m gonna stick to the plan and get the F out of everything.  Gonna try to reload on a pullback to one of the retracement levels.  Should take about 4-5 days on the pullback.  The only thing that I’m holding now is 10,000 shares of poo [...]

Free AT&T wifi for iPhone users

October 29th, 2008

I’m loving my iPhone more and more every day: AT&T has announced that they are now offering free Wi-Fi access to iPhone subscribers across the U.S. AT&T knows Wi-Fi is hot, and FREE Wi-Fi is even hotter. Which is why FREE AT&T Wi-Fi access is now available for Apple iPhone at thousands of hotspots nationwide, [...]

Wednesday.

October 29th, 2008

I was up about $13k+ yesterday.  Up a little more than $6k so far today.  All I want to do is sell, sell, sell today which is probably the wrong friggin thing to do.  Is it?  DIG up 12%, NOV up 10%, RIG up 14%….POT +13%,, UYM +12%….everything I own is up BIG.  And all [...]

Rally

October 28th, 2008

What a friggin rally! Finally. Finally. I don’t know, it might be stupid, but I sold all of my short term trades today. At one point, I was holding 1000 shares of DIG, 1600 shares of UYM, 540 shares of NOV, and a bunch of other scrappers. My biggest position now is 200 shares of [...]

October 28th, 2008

Anybody else sitting and waiting for this market to rally?  Anybody capitulate yet?  I haven’t, but the thought has crosses my mind every single day.  “Damn, what if I would’ve sold yesterday?”  “Arggg…I’d be $5k richer if I sold this shit last week…”.  “Just sell now and the pain will be over.”  It’s actually more [...]

Monday.

October 27th, 2008

Sitting here at Panera. It’s such a show here. It’s crowded as hell and the internet sucks. They filter their traffic. I can’t even get onto boogster.com because it’s a blocked site. What a show. I’ve never been a big fan of Panera. Their food sucks too. Anybody watch UFC 90, Silva vs. Cote, this [...]

Online-Casinos.com – Only the Best in Online Gaming

October 25th, 2008

Well, it’s been a while since I’ve done a review on a site.  Online-Casinos.com ordered a ReviewMe, so it’s time to do one again. From the initial looks of the site, the first thing that I noticed is their “Visual Instructions” section. I think it’s always better to actually visualize the instructions instead of just [...]

I used to think that Blackjack was the devil’s game, but it looks like we have a new winner: After being down over $3.5k intra-day yesterday, my portfolio actually closed up about $800.  I knew that it was too good to be true, as we gapped down like a mofo-little-bitch this morning.  Gapped down over [...]

Poker Sites banning ip addresses

October 23rd, 2008

Just got this email from one of our Microgaming partners: Microgaming is going to put in an IP block for the 13 banned states in the US. This means that if a player logs on with an IP from any of these states they will not be able to enter the poker client. This is [...]

Thursday.

October 23rd, 2008

All I want to do today is buy a ton of stocks with my remaining cash, but I know that it’s most likely the wrong thing to do.  I did do a little bit of nibbling on NOV, AVR, MOS, and UYM but I’m not feeling very confident here.  Part of me keeps telling myself [...]

October 22nd, 2008

So, I’ve been checking out my competition with this Boogspace thing.  It looks like there’s actually quite a bit of competition out there.  Most of them are hurt-ing, like thesecretsanta.com, secret-gift.com, and even secretsanta.com, but there is one that looks pretty legit, elfster.com.  With the first two sites, I got page errors and very confusing [...]

Tuesday.

October 21st, 2008

I’m just kinda watching and waiting today. I sold a little bit of my RIG, 100 shares. Only holding 300 shares now. My portfolio was up about $10k yesterday, but it’s down $5k today. I should’ve sold everything at the close yesterday and then bought it all back today. Hah…if only I knew. Anyways, I [...]
