From 10 to -10

June 24, 2008, Tuesday

-$7 on 14,400 shares traded.

Okay, today’s trading was really rather exciting, volatile but still readable. Walmart moved in a large intraday range (56.25 to 57.85), and there were a series of crests and troughs.

I had fun even with a -$7 on my blotter. At the start, it climbed up to $10, then I misunderstood everything and dumped to -$9, then it went up again to $12, and then I finally ended up with -$7.
The good news is I was able to contain my losses within [10,-10].
