Today was a nice change from the last few days and even couple of weeks. I saw some gains, and big ones too! Most notably in my Stock Wars account which only had one pick stay in the red and I kicked it to the curb pretty early in the day.
I actually ended up staying up all night to ensure that I was able to call my wife's doctor first thing in the morning. To kill some of the time I did some research and came up with a few stocks with strong FOUS patterns. I then kicked off my day with a first for me... watching the opening bell. It was a fun way to start the trading day.
My two biggest gainers of the day were $WTSL which I'm still holding on (SW), (GTL), and (PS1000)... and a stock I think is a pump & dump, $ECRY.
I made a fast 10% gain on ECRY yesterday on a small long position and added big today when I found that another press release was issued (3rd one in a row) and bought 20,000 shares with my (SW) account. The stock jumped to around 11% and I pulled 15,000 shares for a nice big profit. The I decided to bail the other 5,000 share for the profit and just get out... that's when (SW) had a bug in the game and no matter how many sell orders I sent the last 5,000 shares would not cash in. For a second I panicked when the stock dipped into the red and I was losing, but in the end the stocked closed with a 4.55% gain and it's in the green again. Hopefully I can get it to close on Monday with a gain still. GLAD THIS WAS A PAPER TRADE!!! if a real broker did this with real money I'd be pissed!!!
Biggest loser of the day for me was $NIHD which I entered around $0.68 and cut it loose at $0.60. I had a large position of 20,500 shares and just couldn't stomach the loss. I wouldn't be surprised if it turns into a gain in the $0.70 range but oh well.
Starting Monday I'm going to start posting my positions before the market opens. I don't know if anyone is reading this, but maybe if there is, it will help them. That way you can learn from my losses and gains.

Just an update on (SW) and the 5,000 shares of ECRY. All of a sudden after hours the 5,000 shares cleared. Odd glitch in their system. It didn't change the price of the account at the end of the day eaither.
