Today the market recovered almost everything she gave away yesterday and it did well for my stocks. The market added almost $700 unrealized profit dollars to my account. That was the good news. I bought 3 new stocks today and one took me to the cleaners for $211 dollars. But this is why we use stop loss orders to protect our capitol, so we will live to fight another day. Technically I was down 8.6% in this one transaction, but when you look at the entire portfolio, I was only down .07% of my entire capitol. That is pretty awesome when you look at the entire picture. I do not want to harp on it to much, but set a stop loss when you by a stock.
The other good news is that we printed a green flag on the S&P500, so that cancel's yesterdays warning for now and like I said, I will wait until Monday before I make any new decisions about market direction.
Tomorrow is Turkey day, so I will put down the laptop and there will be no news from me. Enjoy the food, family, and football. Do not forget to nap……
