AMD in and out, back in to TSRA...

Can't short in pre-market. Fun. Wouldn't have mattered since it gapped pretty hard. Entered at market at open 500 @ $6.10, watched it climb to the $6.18 range, but held tight, covered at $6.06 for a net profit of all of $5. Woo.

Tessera bounced around a bit more today before triggering my limit order 100 @ $21.55 before closing at $21.87 / $22.10 (A.E.) netting roughly $55. I'm going to set another trailing stop and let this one play on its own again. If it keeps wanting to trade in this range, I might as well ride it each way. I just hope I'm on board when the Amkor news comes through, assuming it's good news.

Also, a veritable bounty of earnings calls coming up over the next week. Time to pick some tasty picks... Bed Bath Beyond, Circuit City, Progressive... and a bunch bunch more the week after.
