My trading account hit an all-time high today. Excellent moves\/sales in TWTR and GPRO calls bought last week, sold LC also from last week and sold my UWTI position +5% that I was down 20% just a short time ago. And I jumped in and out of the monster that is TWLO for a very nice win.  Was feeling pretty happy&#8230;.so naturally AH decided to take me down a peg&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I bought some HAIN calls last week (have had a small stock position in my 401k for a long time) as it started running. I *ALMOST* sold the position as a quick in\/out trade on Friday as it really heated up but then didn&#8217;t. Got greedy and thought maybe they really DO announce an acquisition over the weekend. And then when nothing was announced &#8211; almost sold AGAIN this AM. Still up on position. But nooooooo&#8230;.the greed devil on my shoulder said &#8220;hey they are September calls&#8230;hold them a little longer&#8230;.&#8221; Sigh&#8230;It&#8217;s a small position but make some VERY annoyed. Since I ignored myself TWICE to sell. Gah.<\/p>\n<p>HAIN came out after hours today and announced reporting\/financial issues. Always a winner. Stock tanked about 25%. Yay. I will likely add to my LT position at these levels (maybe) but those calls should be nice and worthless. Grrrr. Hate that greed devil.<\/p>\n<p>The stock market gods giveth, the stock market gods taketh away.
