Haha...started the day off with DUST. Thought GDX would break early because it rose so much in such a short period of time but nope, it would not. Was still in DUST when I saw the big drops in VRX due to Warren Buffetts comments on VRX over the weekend. Watched the chart until I saw a good reversal sign and exited all my positions in DUST and went all in on VRX. VRX started to bounce but the bounce was very strong and there wasn't a substantial pullback. Went to stocktwits to see what was happening and my man Ackman was saying good things about the company in CNBC. Got lucky on VRX again

Made all my money today on VRX.
My trading would be 2+ stars today for the horrible entries/exits in DUST but today was my biggest earning day so far, so going to give myself 2 bumps and rate 3 stars for today's trading. Riding VRX wasn't difficult because there wern't any notable pullbacks along the way and there was strong volume and good stability. Was hoping/thought it might see green today but.. this works. Seeing green would have been amazing though.. WOOT what a nice start to the month. Going to concentrate on maintaining this capital..
Also switching from scottrade to IB. Last Friday did a calculation on my trades for the past 3 weeks and the transaction costs alone cost me over $1500.... fml. Not sure if I will be able to credit my new IB account tomorrow to trade, but will definitely trade on Weds.
