Going to be a downward ass kicking today.

If you are a day trader get on it and you will find opportunities today.

Down 1,045 right now They claim it is due to the South Afrikan Covid variant. Any excuse to drop the market, but we all knew we are long overdue for a correction.

Glad it’s a short trading day……
I would rather it just run and hopefully get it out of the system. Worse thing is a short day with momentum down into the end of day and then it carries over thru the weekend into Monday.

Ok…just took a look at how it all ended up. About half of my losses in the market today were made up for in my bonds area of my portfolio.

Perfect example of being diversified so you dont take heavy losses.

Still a loss today but much more tolerable.

I jumped out of the markets about a week or so ago. I know sitting on cash and bonds isn't good for vary long. Just too much bad shit going on right now. Inflation, Brandon fucking with oil and just thinking this gain can't be sustained forever.

Plus I wanted to lock in the gains from the last year and a half. Yesterday a 900 point drop and futures today are showing a 1000 point drop.

Saw this AM the DOW is down about 900 before tomorrows open. I would buy at the open or at least within 30 min after open.

Watch the rubberband man show up

My buddy said he bought 20k worth on Friday.

I don’t follow crypto so I have no idea if that was smart or not

I have thought about it but always just let it fade. I do watch the BTC daily though.

Rumor has it that this Friday might be just like last Friday. Never traded options before but I might be interested in some puts. Good or bad idea?

Down 70 cents on my Friday Boeing buy.

Looking at jet blue for a swing trade and IBM for the dividend and ETY for the same.

With Powell and Omnicron there isn’t any reason why we can’t get back to oct 2020 levels.

Shiba made another run today in the coin world.
.com is trending down.
I picked up a few thousand bucks of Bitcoin cash (BCH) as it’s sitting at like 13% of it’s all time high.
The kid I listen to turned his $130K 401 into a bunch of millions over the last 2 years with a surgical understanding of how it all works.
He staked 33 Etherium ($4500 a coin) yesterday and a minute later moved $300K into BCH.
He said it should go at least 70% of ATH within 180 days, but he will unload at 50-60% of ATH.
I followed suit with my measly $3K.


To be fair, I told him not many people in their early 30’s would have the balls to risk $130K in the crypto world.
He said “it wasn’t that brave, I married into money...” lol

My portfolio is down about 5% from where it was 2 weeks ago :( I am still in the overall positive though. Letting it ride and waiting for it to rally.

I’m waiting for Palantir to take off. Now that Alex Karp is done selling shares it should help.

Apple carrying my Ass right now.

My KR is the big winner today. Up about 9% and I have a fair amount.

Yesterday was kind of shocking how quickly the market turned.

Today so far.....minus my APPL stock.....is turning into a very strong rebound day for me.

We shall see how it all ends up though.

I completely missed the turn yesterday and didn’t see it until close. I would have doubled down on BA, it ended up at 188.xx

Who knows where Omicron will take us, but the created media fear will be the market gift.

Politicians continue the scare tactics to stay in control. Fuckers.....It definitly had an impact on the market since Friday no doubt.

With the wild swings the day traders should be making out quite well. I tried it for a while ago but my mindset seems to not be able to change...lol

I need to just stick with my LT strategy and hang tight with it all.
