Yeah! Market's rocking today.

Sold 700 MGM up here at the 8.83, still holding 1300. In the money!

LVS BYD CENX CRZO BGP others skyrocketing up on the open... super day so far. I'm making money.

10:40am
Closed out all 2k shares MGM up here near the high 8s, back in small 100 shares, I'll be in and out of this all day.

Note: I just talked w/IB to ask why I was getting slippage on odd-lot (non multiple of 100, eg 30-50 share) trades, and
he'd said that it was because those need to be filled via ISLD, which may not be at the same inside market as the
complete exchange. So that's a good technical thing to know, eg maybe use LMT orders for fills when trading
odd lots, because MKT may have slippage, when trading size other than in increments of 100 shares.

Bought 2000 MGM 3:40 into the close. Let's hope the reaction to earnings is positive.

Whew! what a day - bought a lot of stocks into the close, we'll see if they do well into tomorrow's open...



Here's my P&L and confirmations from today, I made over $900 in *real* trading profits today - yeah!




No I'm not some "personality" on financial tv waving and shouting. I'm a trader. And a trainer of traders. It's what I do.

Best wishes for success,
