The Cult of Fausto

The gifts I mentioned a couple postings ago are literally paying off now. I joined the Cult of Fausto (my nickname) and signed up for the program at cybertradinguniversity.com. Yes it costs a lot and my mom would have a heart attack if she knew how much I paid. I told Austin and he almost had a heart attack! :-) But with day trading, as with any skill, you need to learn from a master of the craft.

I made $842.32 today, my first day of live trading with my new cult. Biotechs were on a tear. I traded AGEN (that was a loss) SVA, CPRX, and SQNM. I would have traded HGSI during the last 10 minutes of the trading day but I maxed out my account and didn't have the wherewithal to switch to one of my other two accounts. duh.

My mom was so excited she hugged me. Lack of results thus far was beginning to get her worried and I was starting to worry that she was going to pressure me into getting a regular day job. Getting a day job would kill the whole point of my new life. I might as well roll over and die rather than do that.

Also today, I got my mom logged into the site where you can check up on your kid's grades. Alex has gotten all 100%'s so far, plus some extra credit. We were very happy and relieved about that. I told Alex he was awesome and he was pleased despite himself. He tried not to show it but he couldn't help it :-)

Better still, my mom decided not to have any more big parties, yay!

The whole house is breathing a sigh of relief with all the good news.
