Day Trading Results 8-20-2008
I found myself fighting the market early on today. I gave back roughly $300 dollars by noon and even found myself down a little over a $100. I began yelling at my monitors as if they would yell back, but I made up my mind at that point I was not going to lose on the day. Now, $70 bucks is nothing to get all worked up about, but what I am proud of is my ability to bounce back. Stay tuned, I have the feeling the next two days are going to be big.
Total Gains for the day: $70.60
