 Are you there yeah? I'm here. Yeah the internet spotting until this is fixed, but it's interesting I'm glad we're doing this now because before I have another TV hit they got to get this Yeah, because it's it's obviously I knew it was a problem, okay So you did HD and then you did do the spy as well Right because by the time you called the PM call on the spy I was out of HD, which was probably a mistake. It started to back up a teens and I You know like you I always feel better when you're in something too because I know like yes I have confidence. I thought it would go you didn't really love it, but gyro liked it So I'm like, okay, so I was actually looking for 325 and it almost got there It backed up a little and then I got out so by 1010 I was out of it Yeah, okay, and then and then when you called the PM spy what I did was I Made $316 in the HD and I was pretty happy with that because I only took 50 shares So my risk was $350 so I made 316 so I didn't really have to take the spy But I thought to myself if the market really rolls over like Melissa says it's gonna roll over Then I really want to be in something even if it's a little bit. Yeah So what I did was I took 25 shares so that my risk was $100 so that if I lost it I wouldn't have I still would have been green for the day But yet I was in it a little bit to ride it down and I did I should have gotten out right around to when it hit 325 No, it was 420 What did it hit? I was talking so I knew I really wanted to be out of it before then So I actually exceeded it at 427 so I made four hours in that so that was a hundred bucks I know that was great. That was fabulous. So that was really good So you're not having a really really really good year. I know I just said this morning It's because we're being strict and then I get out of that first And what I always think is good is is that somebody with a small account like mine can look at my Positives yeah, and say, okay, like I've made since January 4th. I've made almost of what I say $4,000 It's a great start to the year we've hardly had any losers though. That's why that's true That and a couple of days that we lost in one we made in the other Yes, what do you mean my biggest thing with having the small account is when I do something like the spy or the cues or something I can't take a lot of shares. Yeah, but that's okay. You can do a lot. So that's good that you do a lot And I tell you the best trade of the year so far for me. My day trade was PayPal Yeah, that was the best hands down and everything every single solitary thing. Yeah, I didn't in fact I didn't look at that today. I didn't look and see what that did today. I didn't Which tonight is tomorrow morning is Lowe's so we'll see I mean I don't know if we'll get a good one in Lowe's because it depends on it if HD keeps going today I didn't even look at Lowe's today. Yeah Closed either but I mean it's the same thing with small size and options if you only do one contract You could do well now. I mean when you were back and forth with the options. Tell me so you're doing good with the day Trades that was your plan of action for 20 yeah So what what happened with the options was I had to dissolve my account because my daughter needed tuition money to finish paying for her Hair school. So that's what I did with it. So until she pays me back, which maybe we'll be within the next year Then I'll be able to do So I keep you know I just think that with all the practice I'm getting in the exits because you know with me even with the options It was always the exit that I always thought I could go further or further or further And I and I got spoiled because we did BA for so many times and I I told you I made $8,000 in a one contract of an option one time So the problem with that is when you're new when you have a great trade like that you think they're all gonna be like that I know I know and so I've learned now I think I'm with you now four years what I've learned is Green is green and what and and when you say you say something really important that really sticks with me is So you give us a target, but they're areas Anything that comes close to that area Well, that's what you did with HD today. I said 325 325 if you did it I wasn't crazy about it. I had to go early. I said 325 if it bounce in the morning initially right before that Before I did that it did break it anyways, but I mean again you kind of you just have to pick an area It's the same anything you have to say, okay, this is what I'm getting out. That's it if it keeps going I'm not gonna think about it. I'm not gonna worry about it. I'm out with the profit, you know, whatever Right, and I thought three hundred dollars for 50 shares that that was a good And I was out by 10 but when you looked at it and it went to 316 you're like, oh my only stated It would have been like I would have made like sixteen hundred dollars My own worst enemy, you know, but I mean you're chunking it out. You're growing. Yeah, you're up a lot I mean times it by ten more months of the year. We're only two months into the year If you can continue this track, but between now and 1231 then you're gonna feel so so good by that point And if you don't take any money out, you'll grow in the account so much So just right now just stay on track with what you're doing and think positive about that because you guys sometimes You just got to take the small takeaways. I'm getting somewhere with it Getting somewhere with it. It's like if you were on a diet and you were losing weight if you get up One pound, okay, that's one pound, you know what I mean, like that's really one five in one day Back to eating your ice cream next I've been there too Progress, but it's right and that's still good. Well, when you keep it in a notebook I do I keep how many shares my entrance my exit And then I always put the targets down and then I put where I actually got out so that I Kind of like look back and and I share it with Ben and how I'm doing in and you know, he just only cares But anyway, it's a it's a learning process It's it's a learning and I feel so much better like I I and the other thing I do is when the trade is over I Get out of my platform because what I also was doing was so if we had like safe We had the really great trade of PayPal So I would get out and then I and then we would sign off the room and I'd be watching go Oh, it's gonna go again. It's gonna go again. I want to be and I do that and it would bounce and I would lose Yeah, so Well, I know some people do that with the options they get out and then they see that they got out too soon They retake it and they pay a higher price and then it backs up and then it doesn't go and then they give back The profit from the first trade. So yeah, you got to be careful with that You decide you're gonna cut it then just cut it and or you get out of a half a position But you'd have to up your sizing in order right you that which I wouldn't do right now It's worth the tail end of earning season even if you're gonna increase your sizing I would wait till next learning season even if you're gonna do that Yeah, I increased my size a little bit for this one because we did so good even at the end and then At the end of that December we did really well, too So that's why I think I upped it by like 50 to 75 dollars So I went from like like a 100 and 125 risk to now like I'm up to like a $200 risk That's what I'm up to I don't know how you trade when you travel though. I would never feel comfortable doing that I do And we're going to we're going to Colorado in the middle of March and I bring I bring my laptop and my mi-fi and Because Ben's at a conference. So I I'm there in the morning. I do it on vacation. I did it in Hawaii I don't know how you can concentrate that I used to have a platform I could do it on my phone that was that was interactive brokers But the only thing is you need to hire, you know, you need to keep $25,000 in there at all times But you could do it on your phone I would still feel nervous about doing that on Wi-Fi, but you were trading at the hairdresser the other week I was I was I do and they all know what I do. So I'm like, do you mind if I keep track of my stock? That's really funny I'm doing good because I'm I'm listening to you and like I said targets are areas I remember that and then I shut the computer off when we're done for the day I have no idea and you know what does it really matter because he doesn't know what he's doing anyway, so I was Rally when he's talking because usually it falls Well, I think and you know, that's why I wanted to get out because sometimes he starts to talk and the market will spike up And then he'll start to talk in the mic market. Good. I'm like, you know what? I don't want to be on that ride So that's why to a clock, you know reversal time I said this is I can get out here and walk away and I had a really really good day. Yeah But you know, I try and do the research in the morning because you know, you're busy and you know, sometimes one of us can find That one trade, you know, like I was reading an article about Dollar Tree over the weekend That they had a close 400 stores because they had a rat infestation where You know what it popped on Friday, why I don't know but anyway, but you know it when I read news like that It gives me a little thing that maybe I should check it. Maybe I should check it So now in between earnings seasons, it's good to see what news things are going on because it might have a move Yeah, yeah, and Facebook one of the ones was news on that Yeah, we mean before when we started to short Facebook. Yeah, that was all their finds and everything You know, I don't see I mean it's sad to say but I don't see the economy recovering anytime soon And so I think we're gonna be able to ride this wave At least until the midterms. Well, I think I feel like I even have to be hyper focused now because again It's like we're gonna eventually go long again, you know, I mean like it's like when is that going to happen? I like I have to get up every day and look at it Like I was so certain though last week when it was Tuesday and Wednesday Tuesday and Wednesday when I was like We gotta be really careful really careful and those are the days we rally and then we fell off like you know And but you know, you just got to watch it every single second because again, it's so volatile But we the volatility has been on our side. It's yeah sign. So that's but again going back to what you were saying about holding Like PayPal was a good one to hold Facebook like you pick and choose the ones you want to hold HD. I wasn't crazy about it. I thought it was spreading I thought it was gonna open late It didn't and I also didn't know what the mark was gonna do right out of the gate So like don't kick yourself for not doing it again I wasn't in love with it like pick and choose the ones you want to hold Well, you can't hold everything all the time. I mean the one good thing is you'll tell us if we want to go Do something on our own we can but like yeah, then you'll say I'd be out I'd be it like because you don't trust it. So, you know so, but I you know, I listen but but it's In this market, it's really good to be in and out fast because at Biden kid or somebody could say anything You know about the Ukraine and it you know The problem is I skim the stuff because if I have to talk on TV about it But every different thing says something different. So if you read one thing says one thing and if you're right another thing It says another thing, you know what? I mean, so I mean, how do I know what to believe anymore? But the one thing I think that's good about this year is like all last year We kept rallying and we were rallying on horrific data terrible data, which was crazy and Actually the market is starting to be more in sync with I think what is actually happening and going on So if you need fundamentals and you're looking for that, you're seeing that now more than you saw in 2020 and 2021 Because yeah, I never thought we should have had the rally that we had in 2021 that made no sense to me It all was a fake rally it was it was and things had no follow-through. That was the other thing So if we did get a really great short, yeah, there was no continuation. Yeah, exactly And I always think what's crazy is the ones that are reporting and then you say like you said where was the earnings? You know, there's no pop either way There's no down down pop to the downside or pop to the upside and that and that was Google and that was Apple I mean all the big tech Yeah I'm glad to yeah So one does the Robin Hood and she Yes, and so what she does is she she has another job But like she puts her extra money in there And my son is in some long-term things like he likes for like he likes things the way because he likes them But he's in it for you know, he's 20 27 years old He's in it for the long haul, but my oldest daughter Allison It's really good to ask her because she's in tune with the reddit people so I can ask her What are they saying on reddit? You know because she had me buy shares for her in Nokia because Nokia is a reddit stock And it's worth like eight bucks but There was a blackberry No, it's Nokia Yeah, she she listens to them too, you know, she's a millennial so Well, that's what you keep us informed of that. I know I do Well, that's why I always say you should be on war room because Steve Bannon sometimes has those reddit people on and he's like He encourages them, you know what you're doing is a great thing because they help each other out Yeah, I'm thinking Melissa's got to really do a spot on that show It's a bad thing if you're making money. It's a bad thing if you're losing money It's not funny if you're losing, it's only funny if you're winning, you know what I mean But even Ben will say about BA, he says well things don't go down forever and I said how do you know How do you know they can get bought out, they can go bankrupt, you have no idea that things will You know, they might go one way and you hope they go the other But that's what I like, you know, you'll tell us and when it's time to buy BA I'd listen to you over Jim Kramer any day Peloton, who could have predicted what would happen to that? Last year you would have said, I mean, we were all going to buy a Peloton and we'd love a Peloton You know, I mean, and again, people use exercise equipment even outside of COVID But I mean, look at what happened to that I bought myself an echelon because I like it It's the cheaper version of a Peloton and it's just as good So I've been using that every day because you know, my Jim, I don't want to wear a mask when I work out No, we're done We're done, but now I'm biking every day So what I do is I listen, you know, I do you and then I have my breakfast And then I work out and then I'm good for the day Oh, that's great, good for you One day we'll get back to normal in New York I hope so, I'd love to go and see you play Although, you gotta clean up that crime It's a mess, yeah Unfortunately the new mayor hasn't done anything yet He has nothing yet, but he hasn't done anything good Seems like a wimp No, I think the governor's race is going to be really, really important for New York State I do too, I don't know I'm hoping Lee Zeldin has a chance I don't even know, because Hockles from up here Everyone said when she was first, they said, oh, she's a moderate She's not, you know, oh, I wouldn't take away her guns She's a liberal Did people like her? Did people like her? Are they supporting her out there? No, no, but she came from here and she first campaigned Like he picked her, Cuomo picked her Because she was moderate, because she was from western New York Well, she's not like anybody up here from western New York They like the guns up here, you know, they hunt You know, it's very red up here It's the part of New York that's very red So she's lost support now, you're saying Oh, yeah, yeah, her husband is a big shot lawyer It's called Delaware North And they own the Sabres Then he makes tons of money, so Interesting, interesting Yeah Well, keep in touch with me, Jackie, you're doing fabulous I will, thank you, miss I know, it's so cute It's so cute that people love to watch your videos and fans So we'll have to do more I know I know, I have to figure about this Bring a different one of us on every That's what I mean, yeah, that's what I'm saying Gyro, Elaine, you know I know, and Gyro, well, he did great today, I'm sure I didn't know what he said He's got a new computer art, because he sounded different His voice sounded a little different to me Well, that's good for people that they're getting used to him, too Yeah, he's a good guy Alright, thanks, miss, we'll see you in the morning Alright, have a good day Bye
