I got around to watching most of the 2014 World Series of Poker final tables ... I didn't watch too much of the three- and two-handed play at the end (though that can also be very interesting). Here are screenshots of a few of the hands that I enjoyed watching:
Cutting losses in the bonds and silver ... the beauty of being a guru based in his parents' basement is that he can call a "generational low" in the bonds, and then two weeks later reverse himself.
YOKU put out this press release on Thursday evening and held a conference call at 9 PM (eastern time). There was a chance to get short above $15 after hours, but there was next to no liquidity and I don't know how easy it is to locate shares to short. I'm interested to talk with people who traded this one on Friday (or Thursday night).

Two biotech stocks (surprise!) unusually active today ... would have been hard to make money in Amicus (FOLD) if you weren't in there pre-open ... Coronado (CNDO) gave back a lot into end of day, but probably still a profitable play for alert traders.
Fed day, everything moves, Gold Miners moved the most ... NUGT is the triple leveraged long play (its opposite is the more cleverly named DUST). Would like to see all the trading between 14:00:00 and 14:01:00 but can't do that with a $9.99 data feed. Even paying $9.45 would have made sense carrying into end of day.

Didn't notice this one at the time but went back and checked the scanner from 3/16 and sure enough it was there.
Went back to look at my time-stamped tweets on RENN. Here they are:
Going to list all the TV I've (recently) watched (alphabetically) with my brief comments. I need recommendations from people who agree with both my likes and dislikes.
