XL-entLady's Account

[XL-entLady]

So I have a reasonable sized Roth where I've been holding GTU and GDX, and trading FAZ and TZA, and getting stomped. And I have a baby Roth that I almost forget about where I have been holding DBB and SMH and EWZ and RSX, etc, etc. and it's been making just a few dollars almost every day.

Do you think I would learn from that?

At this point I have equal $ in TNA and FAZ (because my FAZ has gone down to match the TNA $, not because I've changed my positions) and I figure one or the other has got to go up. Maybe.

The last of my FAZ just triggered it's (20%!) trailing stop and sold. Purchased at $66.60 and sold at $33.96.

I'm sorry to hear that Lady

I'm not in a much better positon. Time is my only consideration. I may have to wait longer than I wanted before selling it.

I repurchased a small position in FAZ this morning. Masochistic, that's me.

The first pot of my FAZ money settled, the tatters remnants that remained anyway. And because of what the Fed did to the dollar yesterday, I spent last evening and this morning looking at ETFs outside the US to purchase. I already have CAF and RSX. Today I added EWC, EWZ (that has a 5% yield), and EEM. I also purchased PCU, which is outside the US and copper, so it met two goals, because I'm trying to concentrate on commodities too. And I bought some DBB, DXO and UGA.

Also bought a small amount of SDY and CVY for the divvies.

I'm thinking these (even the FAZ ) are intermediate term purchases. I've got loose trailing stops set on everything but the FAZ. No stops on it but it is a teensy position. Still holding GTU, GDX and SLV without stops.

FWIW,

I have two Roth accounts. One of them has a small FAZ position. Guess which one I didn't make 5% on today.

I thought seriously about dumping the FAZ but it had already lost so much by the time I could get to it that I decided to just hold through the pain until the euphoria dies and banking stocks fall back a bit.

And to think that last week I sold the last of my FAS at an 8% profit and thought I'd done well.

Man, just think if you would have held out until today!

I bought FAS at $4 and sold it at an 8% profit and then bought FAZ.

The only thing that is keeping me from jumping from a tall building is that I also bought QLD. My QLD is keeping my account even. But I have a $1K+ loss on my FAZ. I need to tattoo my signature on my brain: The market does not care what I think FAZ will do. Only price pays ....

Sometimes the ETF University tuition payments are steep, but I'll bet I don't have to repeat many courses.

Lol I sold my FAS for a 10% profit and thought I was getting away with something. I should have stayed hedged

In retrospect I might go to paper trading for a while, to kick the tires.
