Reviewing your own performance is a critical element to sustained profitability. If you take a minute to recall the most important trading moments from 2015 you’ll likely be thinking of your biggest wins, biggest losses, or biggest missed opportunities. For me, those memories only cover a tiny fraction of my trading activity – so the real lessons worth learning (or reminding yourself of) are found by going back to my day to day and month to month trading results to find out what the most important trading moments from 2015 really are.

And That’s That
First off, there is a hub-bub going on Twitter about how it looked like I was wearing lipstick on my show. As appealing as that might be to some of my more troubled viewers, the truth is that my lips are parched and cracked from a week in bone-dry ski country, so they look bright red.

Second, today was a hard one to bear, but it ended not-too-terribly. I had a sleepless night, so I felt like hell, and I had that horrible I-am-totally-missing-out feeling persist for most of the day. The late-session recovery salved the wound some. I saw my “what if I shorted my 125 positions at the closing price of the 31st” spreadsheet (created merely to torture myself) rocket to $32,000 in profit, only to wither away to a $13,000 profit by day’s end. So, like I said, it didn’t sting as deeply as before.
Semi Bearish?

A technical look at Semi stocks and the Semiconductor index
I must be bearish the Semi Equipment sector because I am short both LRCX and AMAT; the former a successful NFTRH+ long position that hit target and found resistance as anticipated by this chart originally included with the update.
