High flyin', we are

Wow! This market is on the good stuff! I had a pretty darn good day with the longs. Unfortunately, with all the stops lately, I've got a lot of cash sitting there doin' nuttin'. The shorts moved against me, but not too bad considering the market.

I lost two today. First up is ISIL:






I REALY am beginning to get tired of the gap down stop-outs. Blows my safety net completely out of the water. I'd much prefer they edge down and get taken out at or about my price. These are ugly. Not to mention it moved steadily back up into the channel. Bastards!

Here's another bastard down gap: NEU






At least it stayed out of my channel. Thanks a lot.

I added one position today. Got NOC early before the move up:






Nice stop, nice trend. Let's make it a winner!

Tomorrow I'm hoping to get some cash cleared in my IRA. I'm going to be on the lookout for pullbacks in QQQQ and DDS. Both look excellent, but pulled off their lines today.
