Day’s Gain: $20.23
Radiant was the big loser today (losing close to 2.3%). I would buy more actually at these levels (currently trading at $9.69 per share) but I’m on a business trip and is pretty much unavailable to trade.
Another interesting news was the existing home sales rose 0.5%. This is particularly interesting to me because [...]

This is the week’s game plan.

Day’s Gain: $533.67
I’m back to a sane state after I cooled off a little bit during the weekend and today’s nice run. I actually went up even though the market went down. A couple of things happened.
I wanted to buy Marvell (MRVL) but I was scared that it has gone up too high when it [...]

Day’s Gain: -$4275.82
I’m not going to post my portfolio since I made many emotional decisions today so I will just post this. It was the IPO of Nymex (NMX) and I bought 100 shares at $135 and saw it go up to $140 within 1 min. Then I got really excited and kissed my girlfriend [...]
