Residual Value

DNS +69, +27, +8.

Trades:

I sold-to-close the RBCN put options, +6.5%.

I closed out most of my underwater September call options while there was still a bit of time value. HUN -97.9%, ODFL -87.3%, TW -71.7%.  AGM and TIBX are about to close worthless.

I sold calls to convert ROSE to a bull call spread.

Timing can be everything with options and I really jumped the gun here.

REITs ARR and NLY were up, GLD down, and SPRD marches upward.

Reversal alerts: (2), SAVB and VLCCF. Nope.

Miserable

I don't like to short the market but that seems to be the only way to make money here. It's a good thing I put my gainers list together yesterday, because today's action pulled a lot of those numbers negative. DNS -304, -61, -32.

Trades: none.

HURC beat the estimates, up 9.1%. REITs ARR and NLY were up.

Portfolios:

The ESG port is down to -18.9%, the value-sales port is at +2.37%.

Reversal alerts: (3).

CHRM's growth and P/E looked good, then I saw the chart. Maybe not.

Roller Coaster

I'll be glad when we get off this ride. DNS -119, -20, -13.

Trades: none.

 There are some stocks showing steady gains for the 1 & 2 week, 1, 2, & 3 month, 6 month, and year periods - i.e., everything not counting today. The two month period is the crunch point, so I'll order it by that performance period: EM (being acquired), ATHN, SPRD, CF, FCFS, CVI, SLV, LVS, WPRT, MCP, BIDU, GG, AMZN, and VSEA (acquired).

Honorable mention goes to those with a loss in only one of those periods: JCOM, CHL, AAPL, KGC, PAAS, ZAGG, LULU, EGHT, and GTLS.

Reversal alerts: (4), nothing interesting.

Up, Then More

What a day! I'm so glad I didn't push the panic sell button yesterday morning. DNS +276, +75, +33.

Trades: none.

My WPRT leads the watchlist, up 19.4% today.

Reversal alerts: (4), nothing interesting.

Down, Then Not So Much

That was a decent recovery after a rough open. DNS -101, -7, -9.

Trades: I bought GLD.

Reversal alerts: (1), junk.

Ugh

A very disappointing two days to say the least. Oddly enough, the indexes are up for the week. DNS -253, -66, -30.

Trades: none.

I'm not buying any more here. I'll wait to see how things shake out.

Portfolios:

The value-sales port is at +4.33%. The ESG portfolio was coming along, but now back down to -16.8%.

Reversal alerts: (2), uh, no.

I Should Have Waited

Today was certainly a better day to buy. DNS -120, -33, -14.

Trades:

I had orders in, but nothing filled. That's probably because they were for call options on SPRD (up 8.55%) and CVLT (up 1.86%).

Otherwise, CIEN had a good day. Hey look, they might turn a profit in six months!

I'm generally optimistic because my reversal indicators are trending up, as is the VectorVest Market Timing Indicator.

Reversal alerts: (3), duds.
