    Ohhhhh, SQ how i hate you, lol got greedy should have taken the 40 tick winner at 25.11 knew there was lots of support at 25, just bailed on the rest at .35

    Made back a couple hundred bucks on the afternoon short now down 200 on the day, im at risk of breaking my streak, 12 weeks without a negative week, im up 200 bucks so far this week.

    I keep on sizing in too shit too aggressively off the open when it isnt there, its frustrating cause the market is so bad for me, its just sucking me in too garbage trades, and sucking me in too chasing cause i dont want to miss shit, and its compounding the problem.

    On SQ there is no reason that i shouldnt be taking a 40 tick winner mid day, the problem was that because i had a shitty start to the day, particularly on that specific stock i cut back my size, then because i didnt have big enough size i try to hold it for a homerun when i should have just taken the easy money.

    How does it go?

    "
    O Canada!
    Our home and native land!
    True patriot love in all thy sons command.
    With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
    The True North strong and free!
    From far and wide,
    O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
    God keep our land glorious and free!
    O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
    O Canada, we stand on guard for thee...."

    Etc. Nothing ever changes, no matter which flag you salute. Bugger them all!

  6. Well, when you live in a country that can only afford 1/4 of the flag fabric as a single piece and has to make up the rest with scraps, they can't afford to fund the IRS...

    (Also, you never got back to me about LEAPs and why they may be disallowed for certain LT gain tax situations ;))

    No idea what you are referring to. But if I commented, yet had known it was a Canada thing, I wouldn't have made a comment.

  8. Sad day...I really wish they would move away from income taxes and towards use (excise) taxes...I hate that there's a de facto savings penalty. That fucks so many people for their retirement.

    I just wish it was all logical, i was obviously making alot more money back then, now they are telling me i cant write that off but i have 9k in other unused losses, and the problem is its going to cost me more than its worth to hire someone to deal with the government, cause it will be hundreds of hours, so its simply not worth it.

    Its a pretty big piss off, cause while that wouldnt have been a big deal back then, its somewhat of a big deal now, thats a third of my year so far down the shitter.
