LFC, RHAT and QQQQ

LFC is building a tight base nicely It may break out again.


RHAT continues to its move and it’s at the edge of breaking out. I have almost completed my scaling out. I left some money on the table as I underestimated the strength of current move, but I had to lock in some profits when it’s more than 100%! I still hold a few calls on Dec 12.5 (deep ITM) and Dec 15 (ITM).


QQQQ (its ticker was changed after moving to NASDAQ from AMEX) is at its 3-year high (the comment in the chart was wrong after looking it more carefully) right now although it has not made much move during these four long years! Looking back at those dot com booming years, there is still a long way to go back to its old glory. I should’ve not sold my QQQQ Dec 39 calls though. I’m always nervious when it’s at peak and worried about it’s topping. To work around it, I choose to scale in/out in multiple lots.


Karen Carpenter

I ordered a Carpenters Gold – 35th Anniversary Edition CD set for my wife as Christmas gift from amazon.com. Both of us love Karen Carpenter’s songs very much. I first heard her songs on cassette in 1983 the year she died (Feb 4, 1983). There was no Internet then, we had limited access to the world, mostly through short-wave radio or some printed media. So I knew very little about herself other than her crystal clear, amazingly beautiful voice, and wonderful melodies.

To get free shipping, I ordered another CD for myself,
Yo-Yo Ma’s Sinfonia Concertante/Tchiakovsky: Variations on a Rococo Theme/Andante Cantabile
