Out of Energies

By -

I saw this trio of comments a couple of posts ago:

Either people are able to follow my watch lists much more closely than I could have guessed, or the above is a snark-fest. Turns out Slopers are so damned clever they've found a way to track changes in my watch lists. Slopers have outdone Sloper. Amazing! And cool!

Anyway.

In point of fact, I did dump out of UNG, OIH, TBT, and DBC early today, and they were all pretty danged close to the top. Here, for instance, is UNG. I've cut 'n' pasted the confirm tickets from my broker's web site (the quantities are different since the buys/sells are done in  multiple chunks, but you get the idea):

 The reason for the sales is mostly psychological – – – in this environment, I am wanting to bag any decent profits I can, since things have been so difficult to trade lately. I still believe, as my post last night indicated, that energy markets probably have good times ahead, my desire to bank some profits trumps my need to allow myself to get stopped-out. So, snark or not, I'm out of all my big positions (except for being short SPY, entered earlier today).

Later today I am going to post my updated equity curves so you can see how I'm doing in general.
