11/30 – 3:40 p.m. New York time
I entered a new shares position on FIVE. I exited options positions on KR and ADSK and shares positions on MIK, DSGX and PSTG.
This brings the site up to date after a problem at the site’s host, WordPress, left me unable to post or edit for two solid hours. This didn’t impact my trading, but the documentation of positions that I closed will take some time to complete, and may well slip into Friday, a day in which I anticipate entering no new positions.
Long story short: For options, KR and MIK produced profits and ADSK, DSGX and PSTG, losses.
