Week of 2014 JA 03

IWM fell by 0.4% this week, while my account fell 0.9%.  The loss-floor has fallen to -7.1%.

New year: The market was closed on Wednesday for New Year’s Day.  I have rebased the chart and table so that “0%” now represents IWM’s price and my account balance as of 2013 DE 27 and “1%” is now ⅟₁₀₀ of that revised account balance.  Last year my profits were minimal and I withdrew 10% of the money, so all the numbers are now about 10% bigger than they used to be.

Window dressing: The markets rose Tuesday, so that mutual fund managers could report a nice year-end number.  Then they fell on Thursday because there was no further need to pretend.

TNA: Great!  Sold this big “long” bet just as the market started heading south — and it hasn’t come back yet, so I’m stil ahead.

UWM: Unfortunately, the robot bought this at roughly the same time that it sold TNA, replacing ”60% long” with ”20% long” so I lost some money.  Tried to buy it on Tuesday, but thankfully didn’t hit my limit-price.  Buy attempt was successful Thursday, but this could be a “wave 1 down” that I should not have bought.  We’ll see.

AGQ: Nicked my stop-price, then went back up.  Tried to rebuy on Friday, but limit-price not reached.  The robot will try again on Monday.

YHOO: Finally succeeded in buying this thing!  Hopefully it’s not too late.  TRIX(s) has now turned negative, so this will be a short-term trade unless things take off soon.
