Jacksonville Jaguars won this weekend! We are playing Kansas City Chefs (are they all cooks?) on Sunday - here in Jacksonville!
Well, see you here at the pond in the morning.
9/8/98 15:45
OK, stop the emails!
I hopped out too early today! - I admit it! I don't need anymore emails telling
me that!
I'm a red faced green Toad. We did make money today - but we left a lot on the
table. (That's a small ouch.)
Largest point gain in history and I wimped out - SCW. Hey, we made money today.
Toad Update 9/8/98 #4 14:23 EMAIL and ICQ
What a wimp Toad I am.
It went up RIGHT AFTER I SOLD!
Poop.
Good trading,
Toad Update 9/8/98 #3 14:22 EMAIL and ICQ
I hopped out of the Sept 490 Calls (OEXIR) at $13.
Watched it run up to 13 3/4 and was fooling around with the sell order,
so I missed it.
Missed the high, but got $13 - I'm FLAT!
Will it go higher?
Toad Update 9/8/98 #2 13:41 EMAIL and ICQ
I just hopped into 10 contracts of the Sept 490 Calls (OEXIR) at 11 3/4.
Will let you know when we hop out.
Toad Update 9/8/98 #1 12:23 EMAIL and ICQ
What a day!
I was definitely going to buy a call, no a put, no a ....
Well, that's what it has been all day so far.
Now it looks like a PUT - I'll let you know when we hop.
9/8/98 9:46
Aren't you glad we didn't hold the PUTS over the weekend? Still rocketing
up - where will we go today?
9/8/98 9:25
Globex closed up 26 - we are in for a ride today! Stay tuned to your
Toad station...
9/4/98 18:03
Well, that could have been a good ride today. We didn't open up
anything - I was concerned about holding over a 3-day weekend. You
never know what might happen over the weekend and really dump your postion.
Fifty percent more opportunity to mess you up on a 3-day weekend.
SO, we are FLAT - I like that.
Let's see... we are up up $7025 this week AND some of the Free Trial
Toad's will be dropping off the list tonight. Now is the time to subscribe!
Have a great Labor Day weekend and I'll see you here by the pond on TUESDAY!
Toad Update 9/4/98 #2 15:02 EMAIL and ICQ
OK, maybe the dip at 10:30 wasn't a sucker play.
BUT, I didn't hop into anything yet, I think I'm concerned about holding
over the long weekend - just don't want to get stuck.
I'm going to PT around 3:30 and I won't be hopping into anything else
today.
Have a good 3-day weekend - I'll update the site later.
The "observers" that were here today are leaving now, so ... that's all
folks.
9/4/98 11:40
One of the "observers" that is visiting today just told us this:
Before President Clinton's last grand jury testimony, he said he was
looking forward to telling the truth.
Hey, it's not me this time.
"Well, sure, a person's first
time is always exciting."
The visitors today are in an investment "club" and three of them have been through
Toad Training already. With the market closed on Monday, they are basically on an
extended weekend visit to Jacksonville.
Toad Update 9/4/98 #1 10:33 EMAIL and ICQ
That last dip (right before 10:30) was a "sucker play" and I almost fell for it.
Still a Flat Toad on a bagel Friday..
9/4/98 9:33
There's the bell and we are off...
Interesting day today, we have some "observers" here (I think they just came for the bagels!)
Should be interesting, we will let you know when we hop...
9/3/98 17:20
Well, it's bagel time in the morning at the Toad house. For those of you who
refuse to show up Friday mornings - this Cyber Bagel will have to do.
Week is going OK so far, it was a little scarey today - as soon as I bought the
Sep 490 puts (OEXUP), they jumped up to 16 or 16 1/2 BEFORE I COULD EVEN SET MY
SELL POINT! Then they dove down below my purchase price - thought I had really
screwed up. BUT, nooooooo we didn't.
They ran up to 16 two more times, I told some of the Toadsters that I was getting
out the next time they hit 15 1/2, unless they were running - so they ran for us
today!
We missed the high, but we all know we can live with that!
Forgot whose turn it is to bring the bagels in the morning - let me know if it's
your turn. See you here by the pond.
Toad Update 9/3/98 #3 15:34 EMAIL and ICQ
I'm FLAT! Sold the Sep 490 puts (OEXUP) at 18 - then it went even higher!
Update the site in a bit, I'm not hopping into anything else today!
See you in the morning,
Toad Update 9/3/98 #2 12:31 EMAIL and ICQ
We just hopped into 10 contracts of the Sept 480 puts (OEXUP) at 14 1/2.
Will let you know when we hop out.
Toad Update 9/3/98 #1 11:11 EMAIL and ICQ
What to do today, dropped 148 Dow points on the open (10 OEX points) and
now we are down 73 on the Dow and 3 points down on the OEX.
What to do? I've passes on a couple of "sucker" plays already today.
Let's keep watching the pond - I'll let you know when we hop.
9/3/98 9:15
S&P futures are down - what's going to happen today? Stay tuned...
9/2/98 20:25
Good day - at least in the beginning. I left and the market tanked!
(Do I cause that?)
We are doing fine - hope you are also.
See you here, by the pond, in the morning.
Toad Update 9/2/98 #5 15:10 EMAIL and ICQ
WOW, sure hope you hopped out earlier.
OEX just hit new lows for today.
I'm outta here until after 4:00
Toad Update 9/2/98 #4 14:12 EMAIL and ICQ
I have another Physical Therapy appointment and will be leaving the pond
about 3:15 today.
We are flat and made our money today, was tempted to hop back in around
1:30 - but didn't.
So, I'll be back a little after market closes - don't do anything a Toad
wouldn't do.
Toad Update 9/2/98 #3 12:28 EMAIL and ICQ
I hopped out of the Sep 490 calls (OEXIR) at 18.
I really wanted 18 1/4 - but I'm concerned we won't get higher AND I
WANTED to be a FLAT TOAD!
Toad Update 9/2/98 #2 11:32 EMAIL and ICQ
OK, OK, it did hit 16 1/4- but I didn't sell yet, I was trying to pick
up more than a point.
Why? Because I sold too early yesterday - looks like it's going up again.
Let's see.....
Toad Update 9/2/98 #1 10:31 EMAIL and ICQ
I just hopped into 10 contracts of the Sep 490 calls at 15 1/4.
Will let you know when we hop out.
9/2/98 9:30
There is the BELL, I'm here watching the pond. Stay tuned to this Toad
station...
9/1/98 15:20
YES, YES, YES - I hopped out early. I can live with that!
Quite a day - for awhile I thought we were going to start off September
with a losing position - DIDN'T!
It was hairy for awhile, as soon as we bought - the market went against us -
do I cause that?
Mostly it's just an opportunity for the Toad +10's to get in cheaper.
I have to go have some pain inflicted, (have more physical therapy for the
auto accident problems) - I'll be leaving about 15 minutes befor the market
closes. Was not going to hop back in today anyway.
I'll come in 15 minutes early tomorrow morning to make up for the lost time -
see you here by the pond in the am.
Toad Update 9/1/98 #4 14:49 EMAIL and ICQ
WOW! I'm outta the Sept 490 Calls (OEWIR) at $15.
I'm a FLAT Toad, I didn't think I was going to make it today.
Toad Update 9/1/98 #3 13:54 EMAIL and ICQ
I'm still holding onto the Sept 490 calls (OEXIR) - they went as low as
I thought they should and I didn't sell - right now I'm glad I didn't.
They are back up to 13 1/2 now.
I HATE holding overnight, but I'll probably do it if these suckers don't
hit $15 today.
If the market starts running up, I'll remove my $15 sell point and let
it run.
SO, I'm NOT a Flat Toad and I'm watching the pond with both eyes.
Toad Update 9/1/98 #2 12:31 EMAIL and ICQ
I just hopped into 10 contracts of the Sept 590 Calls (OEXIR) at $14.
Watching closely now...
I'll let you know when we hop out.
Toad Update 9/1/98 #1 10:38 EMAIL and ICQ
Nope, nothing yet.
Up, Down, UP so far today.
Decliners beating Advancers right now with positive signs in other
places.
Go figure.
I'll keep you posted.
9/1/98 8:25
Happy (?) September - What's going to happen today??????
Bounce up? Stay tuned, we are here watching the pond.
8/31/98 22:10
OUCH! Around 2:30 it felt like the internet brokers were bogged down
with all the market activity, then I couldn't even get quotes - then I
found out my ISP was DOWN!
Mrs. Toad says it was to prevent me from making a mistake - Maybe the OEX gods
were angry?
All things being equal, I WANTED TO TRADE TODAY!
SO, I'm a flat, dissapointed, flat, disgusted, flat Toad. I was also stopped
out of my INTC again!
We went out to dinner tonight and when we got back, everything was back
to working. I'm crying about this lost opportunity - I guess we didn't
lose money...
I'll be back here in the morning - see you then.
Toad Update 8/31/98 #1 12:02 EMAIL and ICQ
There have been a lot of sucker plays today - If I was using YOUR money,
I might have hopped into the market already.
BUT, I'm using MY money - so I don't trust this market right now.
Looking at a lot of puts and not sure if we will stay down - I'm a safe
Toad right now, will let you know if I hop. We are coming up on the
lunch-time crowd - watch out.
8/31/98 8:52
Hope you had a good weekend, we are here watching the pond. Looking up so
far...
8/28/98 17:45
Quite a day to cap of a pretty good week. The Jaguars won their last
pre-season game and...
We are up $12,409 this WEEK and $22,326 this
MONTH.
Have a great weekend, I'll be back here on Monday.
p.s. Some "Free Trial" toadsters will drop off the list tonight - don't
let this happen to you - I'd hate to see you Toadless when we have been
doing so well. Subscribe Toaday!
Toad Update 8/28/98 #2 15:12 EMAIL and ICQ
Have you looked at a chart of today?
This is crazy, the apprentice toadster is about bald from pulling his
hair. Have not been able to catch either the drops or the rebounds today
- only gets back to our prices when the market reverses.
Had a lot of SCW (shoulda, coulda, woulda) today:
Just missed buying the Sep 510 puts (OEWUB) at 11:10 for 16 1/2 - we
pulled the order as the market went down and then they went from 15 1/2
to 20 1/2 at 11:44. Oops and OUCH!
Nothing purchased and no money made by the Apprentice Toad today -
that's two Apprentice Toads in a row that haven't made their money back.
NOT GOOD.
Maybe the next Apprentice will put us back on the right track.
8/28/98 12:46
Yes, we have an Apprentice Toadster here today, learning how to hop.
We have HUNDREDS of extra bagels
(well, maybe just 6 or so extra) as we were expecting HUNDREDS
of Toadsters (well, maybe just one) to show up this morning!
We always have a good time on training days and most of the Toadsters earn the
cost of the training by making trades! Cool, huh?
Toad Update 8/28/98 #1 12:32 EMAIL and ICQ
We are training an Apprentice Toadster today and the apprentice has been
FRANTICALLY changing prices on the positions we were trying to purchase.
We are still flat, have not been able to catch anything at the prices
the apprentice wanted.
Might still catch one - we are still trying.
8/28/98 9:28
Good Morning! I'm here and only one Toadster showed up for bagels!
Watching the pond - let's see what we can do today.
