Bought EWBC at 47.19. This bank honestly doesn't have retail front operations in China, but it's been hit like it has been. Consistent north of 20% ROE locked in by catering to wealthy Chinese-Americans and charging a premium for being able to merge the old ways and the legit ways.

Last downturn when banks were dying, these guys were shopping.

I bought AMZN back at 1665 and sold at 1690. Now it is 1701 and climbing so it got me again!
However the positive is that I made money not lost. I had a feeling I should keep it a bit longer but I stuck to my rule of selling after seeing a good gain.

Closed one trade, Internet security. I was hoping to make 100% on my trade, but yesterday it did a double take reversal for no apparent reason. I’m not taking any risk with my gain. I rather make 70% than 100%.

AMZN closed all the way back down again at 1663.54 but still up for the day by 1.24%. I wonder if this means it will continue downwards tomorrow. We shall see.

Closed my UPRO position at 41.65. I'm worried about the government shutdown along with other things to be holding a leveraged ETF.

Great call, bmw335xi!

I think this morning is a head fake - retail sales report this morning beat expectations. Hoping the market rebounds later today....

Bought back in - MSFT Feb 15 2019 $110 Calls @ $4.75.

Goal: that it will finally get back above recent highs of 111.

INTC is similar to MSFT in that it's in a recent channel. Could break today for all I know, but I want to lock in profits going into the weekend.
