Think & Grow Rich

Not much coming up on scans. Seeing as though I just finished Think & Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill last night I thought now would be a great time to share.

Napoleon Hill is genius. Our minds truly are inflection points with one way leading down the wealthy route and the other poverty. Within Think & Grow Rich, Hill discusses thirteen principles each a different component to developing a successful mindset. He shares real life stories, recommendations, situations, and activities to lead the way.

I would recommend the classic Think & Grow Rich to anyone, regardless of goals in life, age, or financial status. There are several takeaway and memorable points throughout this book whether you're looking for money, a great job, successful career, or for personal development. Hill will give you the tools but it all comes down to you. Will you apply them or merely read and absorb?

To find out why your mind is your most valuable asset read this book.

You either control your mind or it controls you. There is no halfway compromise.

Another Light Volume Week Ahead: TA on the Major Indices and Stocks for Monday

In this post I will combine the typical Saturday information with the Sunday stock watch. There were no trades last week so it will consist of technical analysis on the major indices and stocks for Monday, enjoy.

Major Indices:
All three have RSI above 50 and in some cases 70. Watch out for the > 70 area though because that can signal an overbought condition.

INDU: Low volume last week but that's to be expected this time of year. Expect similar volume this coming week.
SPX: Steady climb last week.
COMPQ: Candles don't have as large bodies as they did earlier this month but nonetheless the index continues to go higher.

Stocks:
NTWK: Keep an eye on $2 area.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas all. As you celebrate look back at all the things you are thankful for. Those items that may involve people, material, and/or environment forms and sources. I did a little reflecting this morning and came to the conclusion that

You don't really appreciate something until it's not there. In other words we have to have scarcity to appreciate abundance.

Major Indices, Weekly Recap, and the CFTC Report

Good week all-in-all.

As usual lots of paper trades. (denoted with a p after the ticker) More than anything the GOOG weeklies were more of a chance item lotto ticket play. Huge return on it (paper). Other than that my stop was probably too tight on BPOP. I sold the remaining half of my AAPL shares this week after a three week swing. Finally I picked up BAC calls after financials starting picking up and BAC broke $12. So far a good swing still holding. Good stuff.

Major Indices:
All RSI values remain above 50. The charts vary this week-some chop some had a clear direction.

INDU: Only index that hasn't broken its early November highs. Did touch that level on Tuesday but was quickly rejected.
SPX: Great volume on the weekly and nice close on the week.
COMPQ: Similar to the S&P. RSI is very close to oversold territory.

CFTC Report:
The COT report is a weekly released report that comes out on Friday and the data is taken on Tuesday of the current week. If interested you can view it here. I've watched these reports for

A Few Trades But Nothing Like Yesterday

Couldn't quite duplicate the enormous 1000% plus gain yesterday from google. Nonetheless a decent day.
Video:


Recap:
1)Entered BPOP at 2.97 and was stopped out at 2.92 for a -.05 or a 1.7% loss.
2)Entered SOMX at 2.89 sold 1/2 position at 2.97 and moved up stop to break-even. Was stopped out shortly after for an overall 2.8% gain. (paper)
3)Entered BAC Jan 12.5 Calls at .38 (paper)

Stocks:
XPRT: Getting some vol

TASR: Big run

Taking Off Some Trades Today: Recap & Stocks

Crazy gap at open today.
Video:


Recap:
1)Sold 1/2 of the GOOG 590 Weekly Calls from my last week entry of .55 at 6.30. For a 1045.5% gain. (paper)
2)Stopped out of SPY 127 Calls at .85 for a break-even minus commissions. (paper)
3)Sold remaining 2/3 of SFI shares at 6.24 for a 3.3% gain. (paper)
4)Picked up SPY 122 weekly puts at .25 and set a close stop. Probably a combo of a tight stop and the wrong timing but I was stopped out later in the day at .21 for a 16% loss.
5)After selling GOOG 590 weekly calls earlier in the day I moved up my stop and was stopped out of the remaining half at 5.00 for a 809.1% gain. (paper)
