man you just need to find a good stock. Longing ESV is the only good one I can find right now. Shorting AMZN is not a bad plan either right now.

ive always tried to do the opposite. ive read the intelligent investor. i also sell too soon i think, i picked up fslr at like 34 bucks a share but sold it at like 90. so far the only pretty successful stock ive picked up. within a week after selling it was up over 130. i was /endlifing.

holy cow hong kong is getting crushed, down 6% today. typical first time i invest in it and within a week it's down about 10% = bye bye $3k.

tempted to load up on this dip but i kinda fear it could drop some more. hmmmm....tempted to but i dont really want anymore exposure to it.

got my xlf nov puts a bit more expensive than I wanted. Too bad you cant trade on weekends or I would have been protected from the citi news
