Saleem,

I guess no news is bad news right?,,,, Thanks for the "shake" about waiting to know for sure on LDK.
If I had stayed with my original plan of only one or two good trades a year things would be rosy! But its hard to buy just one or two!
70's and sunny in Atlanta, ignored market and reseeded lawn.

Hi Standards,

It IS a tough market......

The only way to make money IS to lock any profit.....

I am having tough time adjusting to this market.....

My optimism takes over good judgement????

Now back to fast trading again!!!

Solar went down except STP???

It was 51 high & 32 low where I live.....

Removed all sand in front of my driveway.....that was put by city to give traction to cars in ice...

If we think AGs are going down short term, then the ETF to buy would be Ultrashort Materials (SMN), this Ultrashort ETF contains MOS, MON, POT, AGU, CF, TRA and TNH.

Saleem and others, what do you guys think, or AGs are very strong?

Saleem,
SPWR was acting like it really wanted to run today. I am watching to buy QLD, QQQQ, RIMM, AAPL, APC and SPWR, to add one or more tomorrow. I am currently in: SOHU, SOLF, ESLR, V, and SSO. I will be taking profits fast too as I am a flea on the back of an elephant! I just want to ride along and take what the market will give me. As little as $200 per trade is ok with me. Keeping 3-5 trades on and peeling them off as soon as they either reach $100 down or $200up. That way, I have more assurance of making a profit each day. Good luck tomorrow all. Wishing everyone a green day.

Hi Doug,

Your strategy is working great in this YOYO market.....

As to the future addition...you will be better off buying winners like RIMM or AAPL....

QQQQ or QLD is fine when you do NOT know which frontline stocks will move UP.....

Solar tape was very disapponting by close...so will stay clear until they show strength....

Hi Troy,

Ag remains strong...so far !!

Unless they show weakness..then SMN will work !!!

DBA is still working !!!

TROY

WIth out reading the offering on LDK
It seems that the price as set is fair and reasonable. Hurray

Now what to do in a crazy market

I got some AAPL yesterday and GS which as you know dropped over $5 bucks. Ouch But GS is best of breed , but this financial mess is far from over.

I still believe that AAPL will NOT disappoint -- especially with the new I-Phone coming, etc. AAPL is not good for fast tradiong IMHO, may be a medium term hold.

Good Luck to all!!!

I may pick up some TOL or ESLR today, it depends on how bad the sell off is today. Comments always appriciated.

Disclousre, Sold ESLR @ 11.20, for 15 cents again, wanted to reduce Solar exposure and buy some index puts as hedge..!! I feel there is more pain in the store.

Stocks100 said...

Hi Troy,

Reducing exposure in Solar IS a smart move.....

Solar has rolled over????

Saleem

Troy House said...

Saleem, I do not think Solar has rolled over, but I had too many solar stocks, LDK, YGE, TSL, so just sold ESLR for now..!!
