Good call IMO I pushed a generous amount in this week as well. Might even throw more in it tomorrow. I like a healthy amount of risk in my life. :burnin:

I have dodged the storm well with my personal accounts down like 4% on the year with what i consider great positions on a bunch of stock. But damn my IRA and mutual accounts have been hit hard too. I checked last week but probably wont bother to look again for a few months at least. It was the first time i checked in awhile and I actually loled in my chair and went to the fridge for a beer.

my IRA, rolled from a previous 401k, is up .05% for the year. I have been very very good about moving some of my stocks around at the right time.

edit: partial luck, partial skill, proportion is debatable 😃

Nope. This week all I have picked up was some FRE, WM, VMW, and yes… more SIRI. But boy am I getting burned on some of them right now. I also started going long in the last 30 days on some tech and things I expect to do well in DEC-JAN just got greedy looking for early bottoms. But good plays bad plays I am still new enough to be more then happy with position for the future to come. I am also betting big on the election…

Looks like people are starting to take some earnings with them for the weekend. Im staying in on it personally. I wanted to put in more money today but decided to hold off. Blows that I went as big as I have in tech but i am trying to pick them up hoping a better then expected shopping season makes me money. Ok im going to play some football and drink more beer.
