WOOHOO, just sold the AAPL i bought at 100 and 107/share at 219/share. I thought about holding longer, but it's been a yo yo and this was its highest ever.

Nice day today.
BX has been on fire probably due to x div date soon,.. I'm loving it.
I had to jump back in to FIG due to strange huge volume day, not sure how long I will ride it. This is one I trade often.
On the investing side I'm very happy with PM & BP.

There is a surprising lack of posting going on in here considering the monster "stealth" rally we have seen in the past 2 or 3 weeks particularly in tech and now in the financials.
I have pretty much remained sitting on all the positions I took in late 2008 and early 2009. But I picked up some NSR a few weeks ago.

TGB, DPTR, WMB, CLF, BAC, INTC, ATVI and FSLR (unfortunately)

bought Foster Wheeler @ $24.71, Nucor @$40.67, and AMT @ $41.94 this morning.
I bought a PILE of Verizon call options and some stock. Bought Monsanto Calls the other day. Also bought General Electric calls and ADM stock.
Foster Wheeler is up $2.20 (still have)
Out of Nucor, did OK (2 points)
Out of AMT did OK (maybe 2 pts)
Monsanto 16% in 2 days. OUT
Verizon up about 60%, will sell today probably.
ADM flat to down 1 or 2%. This may take some time, technically it looks good, but I may have been early.
Overall a good couple of weeks.
Right now I am getting some cash together. I think todays FED meeting will trigger a sell off even though they won't do anything. Things look overvalued and even though some companies look very cheap like ADM, I am afraid of a pullback. The S&P is at 1151 and seems to have stalled at the top of its range, so I will wait a little bit and see what shakes out.
FISH!
