^ ty @jolette. I been a bit curious if my stock Vlogs wd turn people away. Although, just trying to keep it real, and Vlog about where my life is at the moment.

Made $1k this week trading, but was up $2500 on the week Wednesday....blame TSLA and me holding onto it.
Currently +8103 in the stock game as TSLA had a downswing Thursday and Friday. Almost sold everything off, but stubbornly held onto it. I think the plan going forward w TSLA is to find a gd spot to sell off around 260. It's a gd stock that has the potential to hit 300 by the end of the year, so the growth is def there. But if I can free up some of that money, and put it on the oil sector, I think my roi will b greater and quicker. We will see, that's my thoughts on it for now.

Oil had a huge day Friday, and of course I only had one in play, WPX.
Frustrating to see a gd day of oil, and only have one in my line up.
The only thing I cd do Friday was to try to position myself for Monday, and I did just that...IN A BIG WAY.
I made a huge gamble, but hv reasoning behind it.
Here it is; W oil having a gd day Friday, I'm hoping it follows up w a bad day Monday. It was up 6% Friday and that was the biggest day in months from oil, so it has to go down, right?
So as I planned for my big move, I witnessed OIL slowly tail off towards the end of the market closing Friday. This is when I splurged w $10k on GASX.
Why GASX? I been noticing the last 2 months that GASX goes up 7-11% everytime oil has a bad day and vice versa, going down 7-11% when oil is green. So around 1p Friday, I put a stack of high society on GASX when it was down 9%, w my hopes of oil going down Monday. If I'm correct on my theory, this stock will guarantee a 7-11% return.

If it doesn't work out, then we end up going backwards.

If u all want a sweat, check GASX Monday.

@seams thanks. Shaylee loves to do videos, and her own Vlogs.

From + 11k YTD gains after first 3 days of trading to +8k after wk 1, to +3k after 4 weeks to +7k, to +9k last week, to now +7,214 YTD gains after 6 weeks of day trading.
I'm starting to experience stock tilt frustration. I feel like I am under performing and capable of doing better. Tbh, I feel I shd be up $10k ish.
Trying to craft the timing aspect of everything...both buying and selling.

I still like my side at the $20k YTD goal.

APRIL GOAL

-painting The Melody is underway, and yep it's a bright yellow.
Here is a pic of the difference in colors.
Top part of house has the old color vs bottom of the house new color.



I might actually accomplish a goal this month.
That will raise my goal met % to around 65%.
I don't always meet my goals on here, but 65% of the time I do.

Can't dump it right now. Don't know what it is necessarily but looks like the stock price is quite relatively low compared to what it has been.

You can't beat the trend. I recommend looking into a stock picking service like fitzstock2004 (google for his twitter). Been following the guy for a while, he charges 100/month for his services.

@steve420 I'll check it out. Hanks

So w OptionsHouse u hv 60 days free trade OR 100 trades free which ever comes first.
I hv exceeded 100, so now being charged $4.25/trade.
I had applied for Robin Hood last week, and was accepted yesterday. Might start the transition to Robin Hood to save me from the commission fees.
I made 14 trades today (most I'm made in one day since trading), and was charged $60 ish. That cd b costly if I continue on trading w OHouse.

+700 ish at the moment today.

$+5,800 ish YTD

^i respect ur passion@tsw. I'm with u, solar energy is our future.

Another lame one. Didn't have time to add any music or heads up on getting . On that note, not sure if I will hv anytime when new arrival gets here.
It is all looking like a slow end to everything. No one cares, and I don't blame them. I'm just a square looking for something. One day I'll find it, until then I'll keep grinding.

This Vlog has Nuttin to do w what I just said. I'm not for sure what's going on

I'm very curious as to what happened, what really happened, to make you head in this direction. For someone who has always been so open this sudden complete change in passion is odd. Maybe we will eventually get the whole story. I've never been one for rumors or bull****. When was the last time you played poker? When was the last time you were at HSI? What happened? Maybe it's none of my/our business but after all this blogging...

I feel the same way. There has to be more to the story if u play poker as much as ray has. It hard to just stop cold turkey even if your get run over by the deck. I hope the poker come back

You guys already know what happened. Just put 43 and 43 together.

Rayz, just go apologize to Robert. Be the bigger man.

This thread was entertaining when you were playing. Now that you've switched to stocks (BTW, take your profit and run), you've killed this thread.

It's obvious Rayz was banned from HSI or boycotting for some principled reason.

What happened Rayz? #FullTransparency

Not for me. I'm not addicted to poker, I play only for the money and competition.
In my current situation I cd live off my rental income, and b fine. Poker earnings, day trade earnings r extra side income for me.

Cincy runs a better room, but HSI has the convenience of shorter drive.

Robert who? The Poker Floor guy? Why do I need to apologize? I hardly talk to Robert.
I'm the kind of guy that wd apologize for any of my mistakes, but in this case, I hv no flippity idea what ur talking about.

Lol, I wasn't 43+43'd. If I was, it wd b thread worthy and I wd tell u.

Switching to stocks killing the thread...
It's my mission to keep it real about my journey. If I killed the thread w my stock game, so be it.
Poker will come n due time, for now this new stock venture has been a refreshing change of pace. When I come back to poker, I'll come back heavy.

Haven't checked the thread for a while. Loving you mixing it up with stocks. Some people on here are morons though. Play poker whenever you damn well please. Keep up the videos I enjoy the hell out of them! Sending good stock vibes your way!

Looks to me like Ray might have a bit of an addictive personality. When you decide to do something new, you probably over do it for awhile, and let the things you used to do fall to the side for a bit.

Not an insult, looks familiar.

The latest.
All my trades hv settled w OptionHouse, and that allowed me to close my account. I am now using RobinHood (thanks to @1800rpm for suggesting).

Q). Why the switch?
A). My free trades w OHouse hv expired and now costing me. As a daytrader that can add up quickly, so switched to Robinhood which is free.

Only downside of RobinHood is...cash only accounts, no margin accounts at this time. I wavered back and forth whether to pay for trades and use margin, OR trade for free w cash account. After a couple of days of mulling it over, I decided to go ahead w Robinhood.

OH is now closed and RobinHood is open. $30k has been electronically funded, of which $1k is available right away, and the remaining $29k will b available the 22nd. Weird, but how RH does it.

Because of the transition period, no trading today, or the rest of the week.
Once all of the $30k is ready to trade (4/22) I'll once again b looking for spots.

So this week I'll b finishing up April Goal - painting The Melody, and hitting the felt.

Today: worked at The Melody, and here's a pic of the 2nd coat paint job.
**Going bright yellow. Even brighter than before. Trying to win the brightest yellow house award. **
