The RO Report, "Lame Market" Edition

Out of nowhere, the market went lame on us today. It's a news driven market right now, which in my opinion, makes trading tough.

It all depends on your style though. Trader B was up over $35,000 at one point today, so I guess he's fine with it.

We're all just waiting. We have the Senate vote, the Big Debate, and then the House vote. And oh yeah, remember economic numbers? We have the jobs report on Friday. Someone may be paying attention to that as well.

You go down 800 and then up 500 and then you go into a holding pattern. That's how fast you have to change gears.

Anyway, out of 19 traders today, 10 were gross positive, or 53%. I was #9 of 19, or slightly positive.

Perhaps more important, is that the office as a whole was gross negative today, which hasn't happened in a while. 7 traders finished up over $1,000 gross, but 7 traders also lost over $1,000 gross. Kind of ugly.

In short, the "manservants" took it to the "bosses" today. Accordingly, I'm putting the manservants "on top."

1. Trader C, -$25,488 on 86,700 shares traded.

4. Trader K, -$3,509 on 50,500 shares traded.
5. Trader H, -$1,925 on 4,500 shares traded.
