 So how have you been doing this year? We haven't talked for a long time Really good really really good. I mean ever since the The quarter opened in July. I mean I was doing good before that I did good the whole week before of the last quarter And two and this quarter I've been doing great and the only thing that was frustrating was when I couldn't get into Netflix Which drove me crazy. Yeah, that's right. Whatever the explanation with that price Supposedly I'm supposed to go on spider arca and not arca and He said that that's they locked they they were having problems with just plain arca the connection And so they closed it, but they didn't let me know well Maybe if you can't get in something you just try a different ECN Yeah, well that's and actually he went he was we spent like like a half an hour and We reset it up. So he said that if I use anything with this sb Sdb are spider in front of it. It'll work. He said that's strictly for our platform Yes, yes, yes, because you it was it was Netflix that day and it was Was it DFS? There were there were two But it would have been a whole huge day A huge day. Yeah. So anyway, you can't look back. I mean I can only forward and I've had a great two weeks Yeah, well I like today I said as soon as I get out of this J&J. It's gonna go to 165 165 yeah, but it's a 166 I like it's going to 165 so I'm laughing well. I'm glad you're having a good year Yes, I am having a good year and I'm having a really good third quarter Did you increase your risk or you're still keeping your risk? No, I'm still keeping it because I'm doing well and I just and then I don't I don't sweat it so much like like I always figure if I can make one between one and two hundred dollars a day That's still five hundred, you know to maybe seven fifty a week and that's a pretty good chunk of change Yeah, you know what I mean, you know that can be like a two thousand dollar month Which is great for me. So Well, yeah, that's terrific And I learned ever like every day. I'm in I learn more and I would never sometimes I like I I have to tell you I was a little days ago. Yeah, but I liked it. I liked it and there was so that I thought today was a short play I couldn't get behind it alongs. You liked along today. I like the Look at it. Did it go did it go initially? But then it then it dropped off I mean if we could have done it the first five to seven minutes We probably might have made money, but no J&J was the better which is why I'm still in the room It's so funny I mean, you're usually pretty good about getting there on time or one of the first people there So I know that you are scanning and looking at your own picks, but it is good to have Me yes double triple check it to see what I like to narrow it down. You know what I mean You know like I always love when I write they were like like cuz I never know if he's like I don't want it I don't want to be there and telling you what to do or anything in fact I I don't have expertise, but at the same time like I wonder if she saw this I wonder if she saw that It's great. Put ideas in and just don't get upset if I don't like it Yeah, no, I don't I don't because sometimes I'll still keep an eye on it and see what it does and a lot of times It doesn't work I Like oh, she was right like today. She was right Honestly this market. I'm what I'm noticing the last couple of weeks. Like you said we've been on quite a role here is like Again unlike earlier in the year Things are starting to have some more follow-through here to the downside Like where I did watch like I saw Tesla today. Tessa was falling again Was like a neutral open it wasn't down But I was like, oh, this is fun Like some of the things that we've been doing even love was down again today I didn't go back on that did but a Ford was done again today So it is nice that things are following through now finally Whereas that has been, you know, not always the case when we started out the year so bullish And and that's what I think that's what bit us was the fact that it wasn't having follow-through And we're so used to follow-through that you almost have to like then you have to change your whole mindset, you know Like things aren't following through so we'll get out of 50 cents and we'll just call it a day The thing that was positive I think about this trade today was that although it bounced it never really even got up to the open Yeah, yeah, that's so that made me feel that made me feel better because we could have actually put stop a break Even maybe with five or ten cents and we would have been all right. So so that that Made that's why I stayed in it too. So what was your biggest trade so far in the last month? And you didn't do the Netflix could you didn't do that one? But what was your biggest one? E-bay and CVX. Oh and well When I went back in spot and love both were good for me and then XP right we did XP on Friday July 20th, right? Yeah, ebay was a big trade Yeah, ebay ebay was good and and it went really well. You know I mean it went fast. Yeah I say that I'm doing an ad. Are you doing ads now or not? Yes, but maybe not double but like if I go in I won't double it, but but I'll take more yeah I'll take more unless my price was so good then I let it ride I Mean like I just kind of evaluated as I do it, but I did take more the ebay. I did well, that's good Yeah, because look wasn't love a little bit of a slug initially. Yes, but then it went. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I did I mean we could have doubled up on both of them, but then like you said that's being a pig You've been doing good, which is great. I have to check in. I just got so busy to check in with people But I'm glad I know doing good I was surprised of the market was up today when you emailed me yesterday about that other bank going under I wish or Saturday whenever you sent me that email I was I was like, oh, we're gonna be down a lot on Monday, and then we weren't ever miss being a nurse No No No, you know what for 30 years work so hard Years ago I stopped work. I retired what three or four years before COVID so in 2019 I retired and I just I started in 83 and And you know what they it's all a lot of it's a computer stuff And I just miss them, you know, you know me. I'm a talk or my people person So that's the thing I loved about nursing was getting to know the patient and getting to talk to the family And that's really when you when you find out things like you find out really that they something they forgot to tell the doctor about their history or Maybe a symptom that they didn't disclose because they didn't think it was relevant And just in a chit chat you can find out so much about them You know what I mean like I used to find out about like especially I had a pow from World War two And he was actually behind Nazi lines. He had infiltrated the other side. He was Jewish And when he had a raging fever after surgery And he thought he was back there and he felt like just so knowing that he was a pow What just gave you you know some things that you would never You know and the interesting people I met I met somebody that was there on D day You know, I mean and and the and the boat opened up and he was six foot eight He was huge and he said that it opened up too far from the shore And the guys that he was in the in the boat with he said we're gonna drown and because he was six foot eight His head was above water and he carried like six guys to shore with him. Yeah So things like that that I you know, so I miss those kinds of things, but Yeah, it's hard trading what year and then when did you retire? Oh, when I start trading him, um 2015 And I retired in 2019. Yeah. Yeah And I love it I love it gives you it gives you A reason to get out of bed every morning and something fun. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, it's my job, right? So so for an hour or like, you know from nine to ten. That's my job Like that's what I think and then I'm free to hang at the pool You know do errands, you know, I have my whole life in front, you know, rest of the day So and that's great. Great. Yeah, it is So I love it. Yes You don't need any help I do My friends parents like want to train. I like I always send them your open houses. You know, come on Just send them my way if they're interested. Yes, I will. Well, it's funny. I have I have another girl that's just started. She didn't do the class yet. She's doing the class in august and she's new, you know, and she's asking all these questions about How to set up her charts and just to kind of follow along and everything and She was just asking me to explain About the shorting. She's like she just doesn't doesn't understand the concept of shorting. Do you know what I mean? So it's again for somebody that's never traded before they don't know even understand What is a short? No, I had no idea either You know, my thing was I like the company or like like I like lululemon and so I bought a few shares of lululemon And so that's that's been very good But then I bought a shares of BYND and that didn't do well. So like for the long Yeah, that did not No, that did not for sure. Well, you weren't you're not trading options anymore But you missed on the news that are the microsoft I called before that you cannot remind me of that BYND because it helps off like Hot cakes. I think you did the BYND option. I did. Yeah And other one that I love Do you remember the day trade we did when tesla was just starting out and I remember you said It's it's gonna stop drop and it's then it's gonna take off. So just and you said It was a day trade and you said it was like 11 30. You said hang on hang on. It's gonna go And it went I remember it was the biggest Day trade of I think a still of my career. I didn't even remember that. What year was that? Yeah, that was it was even before it split. That's how long ago it was But you knew I you know, it could have even been 75 dollars a share. I mean, that's how low it was at the time But I remember that one and I remember BA was the gift that kept on given So, yeah, yeah, which now we could have done last week and I didn't do it I didn't do we could have gone long that last week. Actually it had the air We did other stuff, but You can't get well when lockdown when love went down that day BA also changed I don't know if it was in conjunction. You know if it was in sympathy, but Well, I'm so glad you're doing it. It's always on my rate. Well, if you keep in touch with me, I love your emails You always keep me abreast. I will Yeah, okay I will you too. Bye
