January 30th, 2009

Nothing much going on today.   I’m still holding my 100 shares of QID from $53.16.  That’s about it.  I have an order to sell at $58.35, which close to the 61.8% retracement, so I will sit tight and hope for that target to hit before the close today.  If I would’ve just held my SRS [...]

ReviewMe: Online Casino Bluebook

January 29th, 2009

This site, onlinecasinobluebook.net, is doing something right because it has a Google Page Rank of 5.  That’s pretty strong, especially considering the aesthetics of the site.  I’m not saying that it’s ugly, but it could definitely be a little better looking. So, the site just looks like a casino/poker/sportsbook/bingo portal.  They have a bunch of [...]

January 29th, 2009

So, I’ve been trying to open an Etrade business bank account.  ETRADE IS AN ABSOLUTE SHOW.  Goddam.  First off, when I call them, they require a web password before you can even do anything.  I have an old brokerage account with them, but I’m inquiring about my new bank account, so I don’t really have [...]

Wednesday.

Ugghhh…the short side seems to be the wrong side?  The good news is that I bought 1500 shares of UYG around 7pm last night around $3.56.  Unfortunately, I sold it all this morning at $3.76 for about +$300.  I only sold it because my trading buddy sent me an email saying: “It is up but [...]

January 27th, 2009

I’ve been watching a bunch of Arlovski post-fight interviews and I’m starting to gain a lot more respect for the dude: First off, the guy just made $1.5 million from 3 minutes and 14 seconds inside the ring, but it doesn’t even seem like he cares too much about the money. He seems genuinely disappointed [...]

CAP vs. GPWA

January 26th, 2009

I know that very few of you guys follow the online gaming industry, but I pretty much follow it religiously because well…it’s my job. Over the past few weeks, there’s been an ongoing “discussion” involving the two biggest casino certification portals out there. Casino Affiliate Programs, also known as CAP, and their counterparts, Gaming Portal [...]

Monday.

January 26th, 2009

I just bought 100 shares of SMN at $38.59. I am not terribly bearish here, but I do think that we will be trending lower for the next few weeks. I just want to keep myself in the game, so I’m taking on a handful of smaller positions. Nothing worst than holding all cash earning [...]

Friday.

January 23rd, 2009

I sold out of my UYM and VCLK positions early this morning. I just don’t like the feeling of going long down here. Not yet, at least. I will be buying soon though. I broke even on the UYM trade and lost about $100 on the VCLK trade. In return, I bought 100 shares of [...]

Black Wednesday Revisited

January 23rd, 2009

It started out just like any other day: The day was January 23, 2008, exactly 1 year ago.  The market was in a freefall for the past week going from 12,800 to 11,500 in a matter of days.  It finally looked like it had bottomed, but the trend was still down. At around 9:30am, I [...]

Thursday.

January 22nd, 2009

I’m not gonna lie, all I want to do is BUY, BUY, BUY with my cash reserves.  I’m pretty much all cash right now, with the exception of 1000 shares of VCLK, and 300 shares of UYM that I just bought this morning.  I sold my AAPL this morning at $86.  Bottom ticked that bitch.  [...]

AAPL

January 21st, 2009

I bought 150 shares of AAPL at $80.50 driving back from AC. I had no clue that they were reporting earnings after the close. I’m such a lucky SOB.

Wednesday.

January 21st, 2009

Still in AC, but heading back today.  Dropped about $250 on Monday (thanks to Craps), but won about $350 yesterday.  I played in a $150 + $30 NL tourney.  147 players, I cashed for $375 in 13th place.  A little bit of a dagger because I had over 50k chips.  Got it all in with [...]

Hero Call

January 19th, 2009

I’m up in AC now.  Started off playing some $1/$2 NL.  Check this hand out. I limp with A-3 clubs in late position.  Dude from one of the blinds raises to $10.  One or two other callers.  Flop comes 2-5-9, one club.  I have a gutshot and a backdoor flush.  He’s got $149 behind him.  [...]
