Well, I hate trying each day to think of exciting new names for my thoughts. Might be why I don't even post every day!
So today I am still in MGRM. It has not taken the flight I thought it would yet. I'll wait patiently. I think it has much potential and when it does go, it will go big I think.
Today I hung out for 3 solid hours (only taking quick potty & coffee refill breaks) in Muddy's chat room. For those of you not following along....go to http://greenonthescreen.blogspot.com/ and up at top right..."Chat Room". It was a fun morning! I mostly watch and try to pay attention. This is a "market hours" type chat room and is for alerts mainly. Buy and sell. HOD (high of day). That kind of stuff. I rarely speak up as I'm so new to this game, but every now and then I get bold and offer something. Today in between watching the chat and my pee breaks, I was on stockcharts.com at the 52 week high scans and checking out the charts on Scottrade. I stumbled across a very fun chart for SWRI. I think when I found this one it was at 1.73 and I mentioned it to the chatting crew. It seemed to cause some excitement in the room and for the rest of the day it was a hot topic! It closed at 2.24 with a HOD at 2.25, gaining volume the entire way.
I, unfortunately, was not on the ride, but it was a positive experience nonetheless! I think I am "getting it" and once I learn to trust my instincts and use my hard learned knowledge, I might make some $ at this. In the meantime, I am getting some help from some friends (can people you barely even know be friends? I think they can!) and think I'll be on my way shortly.
I told K today that I am getting bored just watching and want to jump back in the game. Nothing against him or his stock picks but when I make money at this, I think I want the satisfaction of knowing I did it myself!! (okay, well, myself but with help!) So tomorrow I am going to watch the chat again and possibly participate and POSSIBLY make a trade. We will see! I feel much more educated then I was when I bought PRW, that is for sure!!! (and that one still could do something someday. Never say NEVER!) Bye!

Monday Action
Just to keep everyone in the loop, and for my own personal record, here is what happened in my trading account today:
Sold NGEN 300 shares at 1.53
Bought MDII 720 shares at 1.52
Watching PRW, it's climbing. Would like to sell soon.
BIOM is looking to be a nice purchase!
I got my margin form filled out and faxed back so I'm good to go! See ya!!

Two in a row!
Okay, everyone, try not to pass out but I'm posting two days in a row!!! Crazy, isn't it?! I know.
Well, the morning started out a bit frustrating. First of all, I got stopped out on my CYTR shares. Not a good way to start the day. BIOM actually had a slight gain so that one is good. PRW is flat. Blah!!! And NGEN closed out at 1.60 but it was a slow market day after all.
So my friend, the genius who is tackling the stock market like you would not believe, is going to help me a bit more. He has tried but alas, I'm very stubborn and like to do things MY WAY so he's had a hard time "guiding" me. He made me realize today that I am making some costly mistakes. For one thing, I am buying small lots of stocks, 300 here, 250 there, and I really need to put a big chunk into something that's on the way up, make my gain and get out fast. Do that over and over until I've built up my account and then I can start to add a bit more variety. Also, the sleeping in and missing the opening bell is probably not the best way to go about it either. And the fact I have to step away from my computer a few times a day is not helping much.
SOOOOOOOOoooooooo....I am giving my friend FULL control of my account to whip it into shape and I'm going to follow his every move and continue to learn. I know you will be wanting every detail so I'll still post here and you can follow along. No worries!
I'm going to do a bit of homework this weekend. My friend is into the Bio-Tech stocks and I found some great sites for breaking news:
http://news.biocompare.com/
http://biotech.seekingalpha.com/
http://www.genengnews.com/
So everyone enjoy your Good Friday and Easter weekend and I'll be back again soon!

I'm still here...
How sad. I feel for the few readers I have out there. I hate it when I visit blogs only to see their most recent post was days ago. I LOVE fresh content! So why am I not here more often?? Well, there are many reasons and I will not complain about them too much BUT the point of this blog to begin with, was to help more busy women like me excel at trading . When I first started out (granted, only a few months ago!) I found very few blogs from women traders! And even fewer from women like me who were married, raising a family, running a household and had very little time to jump into a venture like this and learn what you need to know to be a successful trader. I thought it would be fun, useful and informative to log my journey, not only for other traders, but for myself as well.
So enough of that!!! I can't promise I'll be here daily, as every spare moment I have on the computer seem to be looking for the next big move, but I'll try to get here a tad more often then once a week as that is a huge pet peeve of mine in other blogs!!!
So, a lot has happened since I was last here. I convinced my husband we should use part of our tax return to fund my trading account. I deposited a grand total of $2000 and it went in today at market open. I promptly spent my wad!! (I AM a woman after all!) My stock trading friend and mentor has been tossing bones my way for a while and I decided to shock the shit out of him and actually act on a few. Unfortunately I was not quite fast enough (translates into "snuggly in my bed and did not want to get up, put in my contacts and be at the computer screen promptly at 6:30 Pacific Time) so I didn't make quite the profits I possibly could have but I'm not unhappy with my holdings so here you go:
PRW - 300 shares (still holding from long ago, hope to sell soon.....)
Today bought:
CYTR - 200 shares at $5.24, stop at $4.82 which is an 8% loss
NGEN - 300 shares at $1.68
BIOM - 350 shares at $1.24
Bought these early in the trading day. My friend gave me the leads (actually I found BIOM on my own from previous evening scans) and I checked the charts, liked the volumes and jumped in. I set stops on CYTR and NGEN but did NGEN only till end of day and it ran out so I need to redo in the morning. I'm leaving BIOM as a longer term effort (know there is an official name for that....??).
So that is where I'm at. Isn't this fun? NOT YET! It was a bit gut wrenching. The big question will be whether I can be a successful and profitable trader while living my normal and hectic life!! This week, for example, my Mother is visiting for a week, the kids are on spring break and we have numerous activities daily. I also like to work out, preferably in the morning, which is during market hours. NO CAN DO. Today I worked out at 1:15, right after market closed. I also have a real job and work part time. My kids play sports, my daughter is getting ready for her Senior year in high school, we are a very busy family with a big social life as well.
So the purpose of this blog is "CAN SHE DO IT?" and I am out to prove I can!!!
P.S. RCAU...by the way...sold last week at $2.45 with a nice little profit (at this point anything, even $50, is a nice little profit!) but as you all know, this stock is out of control with growth!!! I like watching it even though it's long gone from my life for now.....

Tuesdays must be my thing....
Well, here it is, another Tuesday and I'm posting. I work part time and seem to have the most time to post or think about posting on Tuesdays. So let's get to it!
Okay, I took another online tutorial by Toni Turner yesterday which I found by linking to her site http://www.toniturner.com/ and then it links to http://www.realtick.com/ and the class was basically examples of her technical indicators that she uses to decide when a stock is a "buy". I took 2 pages of notes and she had great charts for visuals.
So yesterday my friend gives me some stock tips. One of those was RCAU and I watched it all day yesterday. It basically shot through the roof! So as part of my learning curve, I woke up this morning, jumped onto my streaming quotes screen and after seeing it was still climbing, I decided to buy some. Now, I only had a measly $140 or so in my trading account. Most of my $ is tied up in that damn PRW! And if I quit shopping I'd have a bit more to play around with, but any-hoo, I was able to buy 76 shares (whoooo hooo!!!) and then I sat and watched it some more!!

So I learned a few interesting things today. I learned that I do have what it takes to eventually make some money in the short term market. If I would have just put in $3000 today on RCAU, at several points in the day I could have easily made over $900. That will more then exceed my daily goal when I'm up and running.
The other thing I learned is that I NEED MORE MONEY TO PLAY AROUND WITH!!! This is crucial to my success. I get paid on Thursday from my other part-time job and we will see if I can get it into my trading account!!!

Weekend Update
Well, last week was not too exciting. We had a good day and then a couple ho-hum days. I did watch ITLI and it did drop back down but hard to say if it was due to poor market conditions or just a temporary pullback.
In the meantime, still trying to unload PRW. Watching and waiting for just the right moment. I think it may go back up on Monday.
I am reading my book every chance I get. Really trying to learn the Candlesticks and what they mean. While searching around online last night I found a stock that interests me a little bit - SWEB:

So on Barchart.com it is rated as a 100% BUY right now. The chart looks good, I think. From the little I have learned so far on charts which to be honest, still leaves a lot more to learn! But here is what I see:
Does this look good? Anyone who can help me, it would be much appreciated!
Until Monday then,
Chow!!
