Yesterday VMW tanked after hours and I was going to grab it this morning for under $33 it closed at $37 FUCK! I also said hmmm airlines might have a second day in them lets buy JBLU in the morning and it went up %16 FUCK! Instead I went to the casino, lost $300 went to bed at 7AM and just woke up. FUCK! lol EDIT- I would like to say i picked up some WM assuming(%20) was an oversell situation and see where it goes in a few days. I also picked up some RDN well after it was already hot but today they are voting on the housing insurance blah blah blah thing and i think on approval it will still go up tomorrow. ---

Siri and XM merger APPROVED! Just stacked up 18,000 shares more today. Been waking up early for the past 3 days waiting for the approval but nothing. Hopefully Monday it’s gonna pop. Anyone has shares in this stock? For the past week, I’ve been shorting some financial stock. Hell of a ride with this market. One day up I’m down 10k, the next i’m up to even money then a little change. ---

One day up I’m down 10k, the next i’m up to even money then a little change. Well for a three week recap I had two weeks in a row that i did great on the rally we had since as some of you know I buying big in financials for a few months now and it paid off. Unfortunately I was a mess all last week I was making solid trades that could have even made me money but i was being greedy and missing great selling opportunity. All in all I made enough to pay for the entire vacation I just took 🙂 Now to SIRI I thought I was crazy hahaha I am holding 4k shares and plan to ditch them on Monday. I kinda went insane this week and was letting emotion in the picture and kinda cleared out my folio haha so I might sell down half and see how they do for a 1/4 or two. I have to put my thinking cap on this weekend basically. Good luck to everyone this week. ---
