Market crashing this morning. If this happens four straight days, I'll make a lot of money.

How do you know this and why would four consecutive market crashes make you a lot of money?

I have March puts. They are dead atm, but the closer it gets the more they wake up. 400 dow points would do it.

Not crashing.  500 is down 0.5% at the open.

Puts went completely worthless. Calls now have the straddle in the green.  :P The last four days have been kinda wasted time. But hey, I'll take it.

I'm fairly pleased with a large (for me) purchase of Rexam shares I made in January. At £4.40 they seemed undervalued, a few weeks pass and Ball corporation have made an offer of £6.28  :cool:

Going to try to buy these tonight: HCP (HCP), Philip Morris (PM), General Electric (GE), Vanguard S&P500 ETF (VOO), Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (VTI).  Also will add a little to AT&T (T).   

One problem with buying US stocks is the time difference.  I need to stay alert and awake at 11pm.  I have an early flight tomorrow to boot  :lol:

I slacked off and didn't buy VTI.  Put the money in VOO instead  :blush:

Another bond will mature soon.  Thinking of buying shares in Royal Dutch Shell, Mattel and Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce. 

Ok idea?  Stupid idea?  Alternative ideas?  :unsure:

You need some index fund.

Ok.  Vanguard Mid-cap (VO), Mattel (MAT) and Royal Dutch Shell (RDS.A).

All this sideways movement is annoying. It just melts away the time premium.

I love sideway movements.  If the market stays stagnant, my retirement plan will work.

200 more shares of T.

Took a look at preferred stocks.  The higher yields are heavily dominated by energy companies.  :ph34r:
