Gain Vegas

By -

It was only on Friday, literally a few trading hours ago, I suggested shorting Las Vegas Sands (LVS). Since Sheldon Adelson has been in hell for two years now, I feel no compunction in hammering home this suggestion again, more than ever. It is absolutely fantastic, and my conservative puts are already up 18.33%. Break the neckline, and Adelson gets jammed with a pitchfork even more heartily!

Featuring totally natural-looking hair, and he’s completely not old or anything.

A Well-Running Morning

By -

I’m just delighted at my positions. They are cruising along magnificently, and with the /RTY down 1.75%, I feel like the portfolio is truly firing on all cylinders. My superstar, which I’ve mentioned endlessly (and originally to my cherish Gold/Platinum members) is XLU, which is spot-on perfect. The only wart on my morning was a dead computer, which I’ve managed to repair (yay, me!) although it’s making too much fan noise (boo, me). Onward.
