Week of 2013 MA 24

IWM fell by 1.4% this week, while my account rose by 0.2%.  The loss-floor is now -1.6%.

US news: The Federal Reserve has started jawboning about maybe “tapering off” the $85 billion they’re printing up every month to prop up the stock market.  But probably they won’t actually change anything until their next meeting on June 18‒19.

Week of 2013 AL 12

IWM rose by 2.4% this week, while my account was unchanged.  The loss-floor is now -0.3%.

US news: On Tuesday at 2pm, the Federal Reserve report was “accidentally” released a day early to certain insiders (who promptly sold their stock), so on Wednesday it was released to the public at the open (instead of 2pm as planned) – leading to a huge uptrend even though there was nothing positive in the report!  This could be a short squeeze before a big drop.

TZA: Not a bad profit, considering that this was a non-model trade!  I had bought it back even though the revised model said not to, then it got sold before the model issued its next “buy”.  This was using the “SellD” rule, which has been good to me in the past.
