Monday summary - the week started well!
The result of today's trading above. Today was fun. Now time to leave the screens. Blog ya tomorrow!
Selling my Pfizers
Will sell the position just before the close.
Afternoon update on the trades
I covered the INTC at $18.99 and right now it is tempting to take the profit in PFE and go as well but I will see if it can go a little higher.
Will cover the short position at $18.99
The Intel trade is going in the right direction so far. Inserting an order to buy back at $18.99.

Index update
Yesterday I covered my short position in Intel at 19.30. The result of a week was a slight decline. Most of the time I have found a profitable trade for one leg the second leg has let me down. Frustrating yes, but you should never complain in trading as long as no big money is lost. I am posting the updater intraday bets index below.

Now time to enjoy my favorite day of the week - Saturday!

PFIZER
Will try to hold them until the $17.54-17.60 level and put a protective stop where it breaks up above yesterday's high.
INTC
..is unfortunately making new lows for the day. Selling at 19.26.
Thursday's first bet
Volatile INTC: I will buy if $19.40 will be broken.

A stop can be so nice
Bought the INTC when it rebounded a little from the sharp decline in the opening. It did not want to come back and when it broke below the previous bottoms at $19.60 the position was dead. Sometimes when you sell your stocks with a loss they quickly come back and your loss seems to be wasted money. Today's Intel stop shows why it is not. Result -0.86%.
The only thing I regret about the Pfizer trade is that I did not hold it a bit longer as it broke up through the triple top at $17.75 which was a sign of strength, but it is not often you find the exact top. Result +0.77%.

Pfizer is trading around the break-even level but it looks as if the Intels have found a declining trend. Will cover these if they break down below today's low of $19.57.

Index Update
The index over the trades published to this blog climbed by 0.8% during this the first week after the period of no trades. I publish it below and chose to take out the Nordic index since the new trades have been made on NYSE. The index number is as previously constructed by compounding the average daily return.
