Financial Skydiving

Posted by Sean | Posted under Investing | October 15, 2008

My last stab at the market bottom was decent, but I was not very greedy on the way up. I’m thinking about giving it another go tomorrow. We’ll see. Logically, I know the math is against me in speculation. This is more about getting my recommended daily allowance of risk taking. Sometimes there is a fine line between managing risk and avoiding it. With all the expense cutting and getting defensive, I don’t want “small ball” to dominate my thoughts. So I’m in the mood to buy into a vertical stock market drop. Maybe I’ll have an opportunity for “financial skydiving” tomorrow…?

Perhaps. I did a little buying last Friday, and perhaps it is time for a little more.

Crap! The initial descent was not vertical enough, so I got tied up with business. (Soup Nazi voice…) No QLD for me.

What I'm Doing...
- Reading "Once in Golconda"... feels *perfect* for 2009, even if written in 1969. 5 days ago
- Good news, bad news. Up 12% in little trading account (+19% longs, -7% short). Wasted some good volatility. 5 days ago
- We have been Walgreens-only for a long time. Now, we're getting our first CVS. DW is going to freakout. Best blogs? http://iheartcvs.com/ ?? 3 weeks ago

- ~7 hours into "The Snowball" Buffett audiobook... so far not much diff than Lowenstein's. 2008-12-04
