    Depending on the performance against the closing line this week, I may stop posting the forecast at the open, it seems a little bit extreme in the way it beats the closer.

    I'm may be doing something right, but may also be doing something wrong.

    I have it it two houses now. Paid the -110 for the opener privilege and The Greek, then hit Pinny as well.

    We have positions all over the world at this point, some at -6.

    Will likely hit Vegas as well, once they dare hang the line.

    I want to put more apple in here, but it's costly and I think I can do better trading cheaper ones, as long as I trade them.

    AMZN is another, I will buy on the dip. AMZN can rule the world, should always be owned, I sold it in this fund, it was only 4 shares but have it otherwise.

    I just took some profit, took at some cash, etc.

    Now I sit with cash looking to make a bigger move, maybe up the unit before a run.

    Acct. Total $82,425.91 $79,083.75 $3,342.16 4.23%


    In all the tracking, commissions are built into the trades on both ends.

    This account is at Schwab and commissions are very low anyway, but at least they are accounted for in the trades for this thread.

    Some trades have no commission.

    I disagree, the commission is low enough to be negligible and we win more than we lose, for now.

    I don't think it's like vig at all, anymore.

    You can negotiate fees if you trade enough with some online firms.

    Schwab will do just fine for the purposes of this account.

    So I can add something to the thread, I opened a Major Purchase account on Betterment recently with the sole purpose of having around $4K for the 2026 World Cup. $18.00 bi-weekly. Crumbs.
    I see, this is similar to Intelligent Portfolios at Schwab. You give the goals and computers help get there and re balance daily. There are humans looking at it too, but most it is mostly automated.

    You can input any goals, from a quick savings plan to retirement.

    Are you adding $18.00 twice a week?

    I like that you are planning the betting money for the World Cup, good shit.

    In this thread, I am mentioned I would buy into the another sports fund and didn't. Then my MLB Contraian Fund went up 10 units quick. I thought I missed the boat, then it lost 12 units even quicker.

    I almost bought it, but didn't. Now, a week later, the Contrarian Fund is back up over 7 units.

    Unreal.

    The attractive thing about Apple is the services and app store and those things.

    Iphones are out there and new ones will be neat and sell among competitors, but those other areas of business are really taking off.

    Same with Microsoft and cloud businesses.

    I sold those, but might buy back after the dip settles. Good companies still, with a lot of legs left in them, for sure.

    Amazon in the same boat, maybe even better.

    Bought 2 Calls to Close GME 10/19/18 15.00 @ 1.14.

    This cost the Fund $234.28

    A small $5 loss here but then I...

    Sold 2 Calls to Open GME 10/19/2018 16.00 at .70.

    A little rotation at a small cost.

    Because of the rate of beating the closing line I was forced to stop posting the CFL Sharp Forecast at the open. That means I could no longer post them in this thread. This means I had to basically sell out of the fund for a loss in this thread. I still invest in the fund, just not in this thread.

    Here are the final numbers for the KVB CFL Sharp Forecast Position in the KVB Total Return Fund with links to the plays...

    The position will take a loss in this thread but I will track the sports positions like the others tracked above.

    I was supposed to buy into the KVB MLB Contrarian Fund but didn't do it on the dip, now it's back up.

    I will be moving a position into an NCAAF Fund of which I have already posted two plays.

    I posted the other two expiring already and now the 8/24 expired, only to see it jump over 66 the next fukkin day.

    That's a $104 loss to the account.

    I got outmatched with those dumbass, illiquid trades.

    KVB I’m still trying to read you after we met, it’s been about four days trying to break down every movement you made and your lovely wife.

    I check everything from the way you style your hair, facial expressions, clothing and voice recognition software that I’m running

    Best of luck
