Day trading of March 24, 2011: I sell Horizons BetaPro COMEX Silver Bull Plus ETF (HZU) at 10.22$

I am very happy since today, straight in the early stock trade morning; I had been able to sell at profit my holding of Horizons BetaPro COMEX Silver Bull Plus ETF (HZU). I sell my units at 10.22$. I made a profit of 104.01$ after commission. I am feeling better this way because this sell trade allow me to decrease my margin account usage. I could have wait for HZU to gain higher in value. HZU may probably go higher than 10.22$ in value today, but it could also not be the case. A turnaround is possible and I had experience it once. That’s how I got stuck with HZU, Horizons BetaPro NYMEX Crude Oil Bear Plus ETF (HOD) and HZD, while those holding were supposed to be sell on the same day. And remember, I am targeting small profit. This help in order to not be stuck in a quick turnaround.

But really, day trading is not exactly as easy as it seems, but it’s quite possible to make money with day trading, even with margin trading. On May 19, I had borrowed 2961.99$ from my margin account to purchased 300 units of HZU. I sell 6 days later. The interest own on the margin account is of 4.25%. This make around 2.62$ in interest own for that period, not even. So not bad, my trade in Horizons BetaPro COMEX Silver Bull Plus ETF (HZU) had gone very well and I can relax now.

I don’t mind holding Horizons BetaPro COMEX Silver Bear Plus ETF (HZD) and Horizons BetaPro NYMEX Crude Oil Bear Plus ETF (HOD) for a little while in my portfolio instead of having to sell and lose money... No way, and it’s not going to happen. My overall portfolio that is under margin is strong enough to support my day trading extravaganza. I don’t think I will be able to sell HZD today. Maybe HOD will be good for today.

Now that I had sell Horizons BetaPro COMEX Silver Bull Plus ETF (HZU), I can basically do whatever I want during day time, I am no longer a slave to the Toronto stock market. Become day trading can quickly turn your life into a miserable one, as it’s sometime not possible to sell and acquisition on the same day. At a point, I got extremely tired of the experience. Since I did not “stop working” yet lol, I am still working. During day time, I have an evening job and I usually arrived at home pass 1am in the night. I also work during the weekend at another job. It was my choice to add day trading to my activities. However, day trading will never allow you to take a break from the stock market. You cannot take a one day off or you cannot simply sleep in one morning because you feel tired or what so ever. With day trading, it’s the stock market you get the control of your life. But now, it’s all better for me as I was able to sell at profit one of my major day trading holding.

I am very proud of my holding in First Majestic Silver Corp (FR). First Majestic Silver Corp (FR) is performing extremely well and I am confident that sooner or later, I will be able to make a “majectic” profit out of First Majestic Silver Corp (FR). First Majestic Silver Corp (FR) gains today so far 4.86%, to establish itself at a very comfortable 18.35$. Life is all good. I am posting some pictures I took a couple of days ago at the intersection boulevard St-Laurent and Sherbrooke (that being in Montreal were I am located at this time). There were those beautiful tries with pink flowers. The smell of those flowers was delightful. Enjoy!
