This Week

What a week. I made 17% this week.

I am really looking forward to next week and start shorting some people out of the gate.

My small goal is 5.1% per week. My real goal is 10.408% per week for 1 year. Let me be honest if I can maintain that 2% per day for one year, I will stop investing when I hit 2 Million. Of course that would be 2M net. So I would need 2.7M.

March 18

My goals are 1% per day. That is every single day. This comes out to 5.1% per week.

Today was a good day. I am up over I should be up $2708.09 (as of 3/18)

I have at this point not sold for a loss, even though I wanted to.

I am in with AAPL for 100 shares.
I am also long with C for 500 shares.

Today's score book is UP $732 and change. This brings my total upto $2954. of profits. This puts me over $246 ahead of the time deadlines by being up by 2 days.

The goals for wednesday: $128.

I normally keep track of this by the week.

I expect to sell both AAPL and C on Wed. I will then buy on the down turn.

Today was the wild ride.


The bad news is AAPL is up. And I shorted Apple. On the books I am down $284. Grrr.

Up 1954
Dn 303

I am ahead 1651 on my third week.

Or 16.51%

March 11

Well I did my first actual day trade. As Mr. Toads wild ride came to C (Citigroup). I bought at the somewhat high mark. I should have waited.

I cleared $575.

I am currently at shorting C for 500 shares.


AAPL (Apple) I sold my long shares and made 92.50.

March 11 = 667.50.

I have also shorted Apple.
