Not a good day or week so far…..sigh!

I could whine a lot but what good is it going to do me. That news Monday killed me and I let most of my positions go for one day, then waited to see if they popped today. No, that was the answer and some started sinking farther so I pulled the trigger and took my losses. SNDA was my only shinning star for a winner and I got stopped out of that position trying to hang on to that 17% pop Monday. Well this morning it came down to my stop loss point, then actually ended the day up .62 cents. I hate that and that is why I hate the automated stop loss orders. But on the other hand, if you do not have the discipline to take a loss like I did today with 3 stocks, you need them. TWI, I actually sold that Monday because I had had enough of that stock too.

You would think this would slow me down but I had my stock list loaded and was ready to fire the moment that I sold one position. I replaced all three positions today with BIDU, PDC, and SINA. Tomorrow depending on market conditions, I will be searching one or two more stocks.

TWI – ($146.03)

SNDA – $291.33 SLW – ($297.05) PAY – ($224.08) REE – ($321.92)
