Thanks to some very shrewd trading on my behalf, yesterday was a great day for my stocks. Both Take-Two and Sony were up, and the night before I bought five shares of Microsoft, which seemed to be in the low point of a trough on the charts. It ended it going up yesterday, too, and ultimately I made my first double-digit gain ever, pulling in almost $12 at the closing bell. And then came today.

Red arrows pointing down are all that I woke up to. My three stocks, as well as a handful that I’m watching but don’t own, including Gamestop, Activision, and Apple, were all way down. Yesterday the Fed cut the interest rate, which caused the small spike, but today everyone must have forgotten all about it. I’m only $9.95 down at the closing bell today, so it didn’t completely wipe out yesterday’s goodness, but there sure as hell aren’t any steak dinners in my near future.
