My latest gamble was ZNGA, loaded up on it in the morning of Facebook Ipo, and dumped it when the FB did not fare well. I got a relatively good price, the damn stock got halted after I dumped it. I guess a lot of people were riding this sheeyt and they all dumped.
Now I am in FB, the limit order at 38 did not fill so I changed it to market and got a fill at 38.009. This is just a swing trade, hoping to find a bigger idiot than myself. Steve is very negative on FB and has advised us to short it.

I think the markets will go lower, but Steve thinks that they may go down a bit but they will go higher. So I am not sure about markets whether to go short or long. When you are confused you take 3J's advice and stop trading.

AAPL seems to be in a downtrend right now. Nobody at this site will recommend it as buy because they only recommend stock that are up on a short term basis. But I will recommend it as a buy, since they been beating street expectation by a wide margin and the analysts projections have been rising.

AAPL has been going down for two weeks now, and my losses are accumulating. With a possible market correction coming we may be in store for more pain. The good news is that they report earnings next Tuesday and all things seem to point to a beat, so I will hang on a few more days.

I am going to crap out of AAPL calls for the next month to see if the job numbers improve. You can always make money in the markets. You don't have to be invested all the time. Most of my losses were incurred in the last two recessions and I don't want to repeat my mistakes. So we are just going to keep Dividend stocks for now and hedge them with some TZA, untill the job number improve.

I have negative return on Dividend stock including dividends. I had them for a month so far and we are in a bull market. We will try it for another month. Meanwhile I have added a heavy dose of AAPL to beef up the portfolio. If the return don't improve I will switch to bonds.
