bad valentine's day stock maneuvers... (that word looks weird right?)

10:30am BIDU up about $14. Going to short it...whoops didn't pull trigger. Stock starts nosediving. too late now.

11:00am BIDU now off the high by 10. TOO LATE TO SHORT!

Go long. Go loooooong it.  Just to be safe I put in a stop of $2.50 loss.

11:22am Lost the $2.50.

Round 2

12:30pm Feels like a bottom. Could turn up...

12:45pm Go long!

1:00pm Down another $5. waiting to see if it turns in the later pm.

1:35pm back to where I got it. Should I dump out? (gotta go do some writing, horror script, trying to get better at left/right brain multitasking. Have to get to page 69. What was I talking about?)

2:20pm got to page 69. It’s a mess but I got there. More to do. No market check yet. Waiting til 3:00p

3:01pm back to even. (though still down 2.5 from the first trade)

3:42pm hit page 73! Not bad. Though still doesn’t make sense and I have no way out of the mess I got the characters into. Going to cross fingers and wait eighteen minutes til 4p on BIDU. Then go home take a nap.

4:01pm here we go. Going to check price. Thanks iphone. Fingers crossed.

4:04pm (interesting that’s also the internet error code) Ok, here’s the deal. I’m up $1 from my second buy so that means I’m still down $1.50 from the first loss. Could be worse. Fingers crossed we open UP UP tomorrow.

4:06pm I’m going to take a nappy. Bye for now!

Newsflash UPDATE!

7:55pm took a nap. Walked dog. Check after hours prices. Turns out earlier when I said I was up I wasn’t. I was looking @ the ask 266.40 not the LAST 264.50 so it turns out I’m down $1 on the last trade.

1) -$2.50
2) -$1

Total losses for day $3.50

Not good not good at all but coulda been worser.

GOOD LUCK tomorrow!
