Isn’t it soooo late to do a wrap-up of 2007? Well I never say too late to reminisce about anything, to learn and improve above past mistakes and successes. 2007 is a pretty good year and somewhat interesting for me. In 2007 (which is several days past) is where my life is at a crossroad. [...]

It’s another day and currently the third trading day for me after holiday. Still got a lot catching up to do. The portfolio return also fluctuate a lot since I’m not disciplined to take profits. The overall return touched almost as high as 75%+ today but I have to settle for something around 68%.
And I [...]

It’s the end of holiday and I’m already at Jakarta. Will be back tomorrow to Bandung and start trading again. Near the end of my vacation, when I transited in Dubai, guess who I met…

It’s Muhammad Yunus him self — on the way to Seoul Korea!
A very sweet closure of this whole holiday. Now back [...]

So Bush and Bernanke spoke yesterday (or is it earlier today? — jet-lagged here, currently on transit “somewhere”) but I don’t really like what they have to offer. Bernanke spoke that The Fed will do everything it can to save the financial industry, ahem, I mean credit crunch. Those speech in retrospect will make the [...]

It’s official now, I’m off for holiday! It’s still in the middle of the day but I already closed all of my position. This last two weeks have been amazing. My portfolio got beaten up before but for the range between late May till late August (that’s today), it’s been up (as in “net profit”) [...]

After 277 point down, the market swing at us with full force to close higher. So where actually are we? There’s no positive news yesterday so I believe that the rally is still based on technical factors (bottom fishing everyone?) in which does not justify a sustainable moves. (NCTY is not a very smart move, [...]

Okay this is so not good: http://www.forbes.com/feeds/ap/2007/08/28/ap4062676.html
The stock is currently down 13% from closing, so not good for my position (didn’t enter strangle or straddle — thinking that the China’s gaming industry is booming). This is so not me. I have to get back into my discipline to NOT playing earnings (or playing it from [...]

Dow Jones plunged yet again in what can be considered the biggest 1-day decline since early August. My trading position took a hit today after gaining quite a lot on previous trading session. The profit that hasn’t been closed was asked back by the market but the overall performance of my portfolio is still in [...]

This week has been an emotional roller coaster (just like the market, although we closed higher for the week for most of the market). This Friday I closed out SPWR (after averaging it down a little, a sin, I know) for almost $1 loss on the trade, sold NVDA for quite a proft (sold @$3.1, [...]
