Went to the driving range this afternoon. As I was leaving, some middle-aged lady stopped right in the middle of a one-way street and blocked the entire road. I was thinking to myself, “what a stupid lady”. Just as I was about to honk, I saw her 150 year old mother waiting by the sidewalk, [...]
Shot my best round of golf this weekend at Raspberry Falls. I shot 89 from the golds, which has a slope rating of 138 and a course rating of 73.70. The total yardard from the golds was 6765, not short at all. The best thing was that we played everything down, which means, no moving [...]

So, I dumped most of my stuff on Wednesday morning (missing the runup) and I closed my cheapy forex positions after the big runup. Let’s see, I dumped IBKR slightly above $15 for about +$700 and I dumped VCLK in the high $6 range for +$350 or so. Poo Poo. It’s so easy to sell [...]
Figured out the discrepancy between my IB 1099-B and my actual results. Looks like the form just reported my futures losses and then the gross sales for only my stock transactions. No clue why they didn’t add both. No clue why they didn’t include the options sales either. Maybe next year, they’ll get it right. [...]
Went to AC on Friday. Got back last night. I dropped about $700 on the first night playing $2/$5 NL. I had one early suckout that kinda got me on tilt a little bit. I just called a $25 raise with AQ in the small blind from an aggressive player in middle position. One other [...]
Went to play some golf yesterday. Shot a 97 from the blues at Westfields, which is about 6500 yards. I played okay on the front 9 (44), but sucked it up on the back 9 (53). I just need to hit the range for a few sessions, then I’ll be back in business. Alright, I [...]
Usually it’s long and so wrong, but today, I am long and so not wrong. I added a few things this morning, when I saw that bull gap. 500 shares of UYM at $8.90 500 shares of UCO at $8.54 500 shares of IBKR at $13.77 I’m up about $4.4k on paper right now. I [...]

The stock market is in freefall here. Look at this monthly chart of the S&P: I mean, WOW. Just got two emails from my trading buddy this morning: “Very tricky here. 638 is a magical spot. I want to see 25-1 up days with 2x+ vol for at lease two days close above 683.” I [...]
What a lucky mofo: Looks like Obama’s mortgage refinance plan is finally in effect, as of yesterday: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/03/04/AR2009030400911.html?wprss=rss_realestate The article said that call volume spiked 150 percent yesterday. Not sure if I want to deal with that crap or not. I’m definitely gonna refinance though…why not? If you have an iPhone, then I’m sure you’ve [...]
Just got back from a 12-hour session. Same story, different day. I couldn’t do a damn thing today. Lost just over a thousand. Dagger. It was a just a matter of time before I “ran bad” and gave some back. I don’t think that I played bad, I just kinda grinded myself down. To make [...]
Got an email from my buddy this morning: “Mike. I really don’t see a bottom around here. May be a 4-5 months bottom. 60% chance we may see Dow 3800 and SP 370 in next 12-18 month. I hope that won happen. Otherwise, our 401K s*****” Here’s one that I got from him yesterday: “Plan [...]
