Hey Saleem,

I just got back from an all-morning engagement and disappointingly find my TZA sell didn't hit (had 23.93 sell order). The three-day rule has rocked me again as I would have liked to cover yesterday, and hoped for a decent price today, and couldn't get either, and now the whole endeavor ended up costing money despite initially great hedging gains. At least I didn't liquidate any of my key holdings and the portfolio is still up nicely today.

I'm looking for an opportunity to unhedge now.

Hey Saleem,

Sold TZA @ 22.97. Still disgusted with how this turned out...

Hi Stocktrader,

Your 3 day rule has built in risk with any leveraged bet.

Hopefully you will put that money in better ideas.

Good luck.

Hey Saleem,

Bought BIDU @ 153.20. Even thought their upcoming travel spinoff is relatively small, it could fuel positive sentiment surrounding the stock.

Hi Stocktrader,

BIDU chart looks good...like many stocks it went below 50DMA & rebounded.
