What a week, at least SBS escaped running last by 1-1/2 lengths. How CLNT was able to Place is a miracle in and of itself. Will wonders ever cease? Will next week be a volatile as this... hmm?

Shucks.... this post deleted by the author, who spaced out in another world.....

Look at all those non-leveraged people at the top!

What a wild week!

Fortunately, I did not ride my horse SQQQ in my real life portfolio for the entire week.

Well, I did on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

On Thursday, before the open I placed an order to sell the SQQQ and buy the TQQQ.

I wish I could say I racked in the profits, but the opening gap Thursay morning was killer.

Does anyone trade "after market"? I never have.

[architecto25]

Congratulations to all you horses at the front of the pack....especially No.1 (Uncle23 with CBOU). I'm hoping to cross the finish line "before the cows come home"....that's Texas talk...for you folks that only speak English.

Occasionally I trade after-hours or before-hours. I do it if I think some piece of news is going to make a stock rocket at the open. It's pure computer matching of orders, and (at least with my broker) can only be done with limit orders. The only thing I've found that works is to put my limit order at exactly the ask (or maybe even a tad higher). Then it will usually either fill immediately or it's never going to (at that price). I swear sometimes all my order does is kick the ask price higher.
