Getting LEH’d
Today is Timtastic.
And the graph of LEH (particularly with the preceding H&S pattern) is breathtaking.
Brilliant Mistake
Two hilarious things just happened.
First, in the middle of the trading day, with about two zillion dollars of positions, my puppy chewed through my network cable. It took a few minutes to realize what had happened, and thank God my network guy was able to fix it quickly. I was planning on having Dog Stew tonight if we couldn't get it worked.
Second, I was really dismayed watching the OIH sunk, since I thought it was going to firm up. I had bought a bunch of calls earlier today. And I was confused that my portfolio was holding up so strongly. I was even more bewildered to see the position in the green………..then I noticed……….it was a put! That's right; I'm so used to buying puts, that I used the wrong side of the options chain and accidentally bought puts instead of calls.
Proving, once again, that God is a bear. He's looking out for me. Yeah!
