Wow, The live blog at TheStreet.com is packed. I am a panelist for the room and the number of people entering is climbing 100 every few minutes.
Totally insane and the place you want to be to feel the pulse of what people are thinking.
it's not easy reading about the markets or finance in general without running into 5000 facebook articles or posts. I have received a lot of questions about the IPO as well. You won't find me buying it at the open if at all tomorrow.
Monday wasn't the biggest day trading for me. Computer issues stood in my way for much of the day. First I had a scanning issue with documents over the July 2009 fraud hit I took, then my email provider went down (again and for the last time as I moved frist to outlook online by Microsoft, then to gmail apps from Google).
Last week I signed the paperwork to write stock analysis articles for TheStreet.com and this week my first article hit the wire.

Rocco Pendola writes for TheStreet as well and he as expected has simply been tearing it up.

Today went well for me in my trading. I wasn't very active but I did close out the VXX puts I wrote a couple of weeks ago. I timed it out well buying back near the low of the day in price. The gain was $1.15 and after watching the VXX fall in price into the close i believe I would have ended up with only about $0.70ish had I held.
If you pay attention to Sirius XM Radio (SIRI) stock you have to see this youtube video with Rocco Pendola, Crunching Numbers, Brandon Matthews, Spencer Osborne, Stephen Faulkner, and Cameron Kaine.
Alcoa Inc. (AA) reported today after the close saying investors from what would have otherwise been a down day. Alcoa still ends the after hours trading in single digits, but at least Alcoa shareholders are not staring directly into the eyes of a sub $9 stock...for now. Alcoa beat beat and beat according to Baletwine in the chat room.
