Well I decided not to hold anything over the weekend, so I missed out on the run early on. I did however buy some calls on the dip. I decided not to day trade them though, and hopefully we'll be green on election day.
I was never gone.... I stopped in anonymously in order to read the latest diatribe from a certain person... remember, gambla is never gone, he just goes into lurker-mode
Lurking is good but sharing some of your trades would be better. I was up over 80k on my options swing trading account but that crappy dip this morning stopped me out with only 18k profit. Grrrrrrrr.
LVS absolutely carried me today. Up about 10,000 in options (all LVS, pretty much, picking up slackers like RIG, WHR); down 8000 in shares.
2nd time in the past 5 trading sessions I couldn't beat or equal the market in my shares...but I had a streak of 18-some sessions before that where I did...
Made 50k on flipping LVS calls this morning in a little over an hour. Gotta love the volatility. It's been consistently providing 18-50k a day easy and sometimes knocking it out of the park with 100k+ days.
I'm a little wary of what may happen tomorrow though, I'm at cash in my options account waiting to see if we have a pullback tomorrow.
How did Etrade screw you? I use them now and their Ipad app is the shiznit!
I'll have some screenshots up soon on my pathetic trades the past few days. Not pathetic by dollar amount, but because I only squeezed out 8-10% of the trades when I could have returned 25-50% if I hadn't set my stops so tight.

They didnt necessarily screw me, but TD Ameritrade allowed me to have up to level 3 options instantaneously, while E*Trade was about to make me wait for another few months.
And, I screwed up and day traded more than is allowed in a week and had my account suspended.
Here's my submission, took me three days, I should have sold at the open yesterday....lets keep this thread going, it's always interesting to see people's picks. LVS lately has been too easy to make money.
it took you 3 days to make 300k or that 1k?
how are short term gains defined compared to the long term gains?
That is one day. You can tell by the date range on his E*Trade picture.
I bought and held that one for three days, the realized profit is just for one day though. I'm on my Ipad now, if I can kick my son off of the computer soon I'll post some more screenshots.
