Day Trading Review

Up $16,000 and back to cash in 10 days – now that’s the way to have fun!

I think we’ll risk $10K on that WM play today and maybe FRE too if they come down again.  The key to our performance was having an itchy trigger finger and jumping on those profits.  We could have made much more in GLD and USO if we held it but I don’t like to take chances until we’re a little more ahead as cash is your only cushion in day trading.
