ETF Trading Portfolio Update -- October 5, 2015
Reversed the China and Crude Oil Shorts....
ETF Trading Portfolio Update -- September 28, 2015
Same-week whammy in the small caps ... that's a quick way to lose ~13%.
ETF Trading Portfolio Update -- September 21, 2015

Timing of the pop odd since the story was on the AFP wire at 3:32 AM ... maybe it came on the boob tube, I have no idea... in any event, the scanner should have been screaming at 10:50, I assume a human could have entered at $11.38. See the StockTwits screen cap below to see who picked up on it fairly fast: WallStJesus, OpenOutcrier, NewsHedge_Squawk, UTradingFloor, DayTradeWarrior, and TrendsInvesting.

ETF Trading Portfolio Update -- September 14, 2015
Reversing QID and TECS for large losses ... those are two of the terrible positions taken on 8/24 (fixed the date typo in spreadsheet, prices were always correct), just the absolute worst sort of whipsaw. Anyway, soldiering on.
ETF Trading Portfolio Update -- September 8, 2015
Reversing the yen short for a loss ... a reminder that I'm the only person on Planet Earth who shorted the China market on June 1st, find me another time-stamped post, article, TV clip, I don't care, which shows similar timing and I'll paypal you $20 ... I've posted a chart of the SPY down below ... you can expect prices to bump around in that range for awhile, nearly a 30 point range, so....

ETF Trading Portfolio Update -- August 31, 2015
SRS belatedly reversing, no other changes. Terrible action last week for trend followers, just the worst kind of whipsaws, but nothing has *re-*reversed yet so I'm assuming that real damage was done to the market and we'll see things back and fill for many months.
I joked on The Twitter that SCO could reverse now that I had bragged about my "gains" ... never brag. :-)

Again a case of people in the know being able to sell some before the "news" hits. Back on Tuesday, regulators put the kibosh on the EXC purchase. No way to make money on this unless you were able to short into the fat bar as it formed, pre-halt. Good luck with that.

Supposedly being bought out ... action during the lunch hour telling ... lots of buyers "under the radar" ... still if you got in after the "news" hit, you should have done fine, assuming you were quick.
