September 8th


I was very busy witht he day-job yesterday, Tues 7th as well as most of today. However, an early finish allowed me to sit in on the markets for the last hour or so. I was still in my GS and CRM papertrades which became swing trades because of my stupidity and my inability to be by the computer at an opportune time. Today I shorted GS with four trades at the final top just before the big collapse of the day. I held and got the entire GS position out with a gain at the bottom of the move. How the heck I can do what I did today in GS, near perfection in momentum timing, and then screw the pooch so badly at other times is a complete mystery to me. I wasn't even thinking today... I just saw and felt what was there then clicked the mouse.
Anyway, I am still in CRM, awaiting a collapse. We'll see how that goes over the days to come.
