Note on this week's trading

I made 5 trades this week:

1. Tuesday, AAPL: DT, shorted at 174.4 and 171.48,covered at 169.52 for an gain of 3.5 points.
2. Tuesday: AAPL: DT, half position, shorted at 172.48, covered at 167.12 for a gain of 5.3 points.
3. Wednesday: AAPL, DT, shorted at 168.88, covered at 163.11 for a gain of 5.7 points (not posted in real time)
4. Thursday: AAPL, DT, shorted at 163.28, covered at 162.61 for a gain of over 0.6 point (not posted in real time).
5. Thursday: POT, DT, long at 115.11, out at 119.11 for a gain of 4 points.

Each one looked not too bad on the day, but most of them look stupid by the end of Friday, why? Because I don't have the guts to stick to my swing calls in the face of huge volatility, I chickened out for some quick and cheap thrills, in other words, I sucked.

Since this is a long weekend, I probably will not post my "weekend notes on the market" until Sunday and "weekly trading calls" until Monday.

Bears, uh, I mean beers for a good weekend everyone!
