Alcoa (symbol AA), one of my holdings, reported earnings after market close yesterday. It beat estimates, and its stock climbs some more. It has been doing nothing other than well ever since they kicked it out of the Dow Jones index. Heh heh heh...
As Alcoa always starts off the earning season, it sets the tone for the market. So, I bought back the few shares I sold a few days ago. Does that make me a day trader or what?
I saved myself around $1.5K in losses compared to what happened if I had held them (my entire portfolio "loss" is >20X more), but it is fun. A lot more fun than going to Las Vegas.
