Wednesday Trade Review 4/30/2008

Another day where I just could not pull it off. To add insult to injury, I was in 4 good trades and found ways of screwing each of them up. I will leave it at that. I had things to do in the afternoon so I missed the decline.

Tuesday Big Mouth Stocks 4/29/2008

These were hard to make money off of. I tried but came up with nothing.

Tuesday Trade Review 4/29/2008

I do not know what to say. I drove about 500 miles between noon and midnight yesterday so I got in late. I ate too much and drank a little. Could not sleep and then over slept so I was not in a good mood. I drank a bunch of caffeine and got all pumped for the open and found this day to be really boring.
-
I made 6 trades and all six I would put in the break even category. I could not find any action and I am pissed I did not think about playing MA or V. Dumb move on my part. Even the Big Mouth Stocks were useless.

Monday Big Mouth Stocks 4/28/2008

These were a gold mine today. I only got a hold of one of them. My daughter was visiting on my mind was not on trading.

Mondays Trade Review 4/28/2008

I need to cut this trading day short. My daughter is visiting for the fist time which seems like forever. I am going to drive her back home and hopefully her boyfriend will buy me dinner. If I get home early enough, I will post some charts.

This trading day sucks anyway.

Childern

One of the last night hosts was asked how it was being a parent. He said his ex-wife said it best (and I hope I caught it correctly).

"From the moment a child is born, it is like your heart spends the rest of your life walking around outside your body".

I agree strongly.

Mystery solved

Over on the DT site, there are many stories of the common ups and downs of life. I never laughed so hard to his story of a crazy morning that ended with his 2 year old taking a dump on the kitchen floor. Here is one of my stories. I changed the names to protect the innocent.
-
(smart-ass-daughter - calling on a cell phone) Hey Dad.
(dumb-ass-father) Hey kiddo.
(smart-ass-daughter) so what is the deal about visiting? (dad was to call daughter about when daughter could visit and transportation details)
(dumb-ass-father) I gave you a long voice mail on it yesterday afternoon.
(smart-ass-daughter) I did not get a message from you.
(dumb-ass-father) I called you about 3:13 and about 10pm the night before. (looking at his dialed list on the cell phone)
(smart-ass-daughter) I got no messages from at all. (looking at her call list)
(dumb-ass-father getting very frustrated) Well, I called you. In fact, I try calling you about 4 times a months every month since you got out of college.
(smart-ass-daughter) I think you have only called me once or twice since I got my my phone in September. What number did you call?
(dumb-ass-father) XXX-XXX-XXXX
(smart-ass-daughter) that is my old phone from the phone my old boyfriend gave me. He must have not disconnected the number.
(dumb-ass-father seeing he had the new in his phone book but the speed dial was still set to the old number) shit!
