Update 10/01/09

An incredibly volatile session Wednesday, featuring not one but two sheer drops in price. The averages still managed to close mixed, with the Nasdaq positive on the day.

We bought AMCC and a second helping of FXP today. CNQ opened above our buy price, hitting the high of the day in the first minute, then crashed below its sell-stop. We're not supposed to trade the first minute of price action for reasons like this. As for current holdings, in my opinion we're good. While the market can go either way, I see the downside reward as much greater than the upside, and that is amply reflected in the current mix.
