Simulated Trading Frustration
I've been practicing with the IBRK paper trading sim system until my trading account is funded this week. The trades are slow and not responsive to the Buttons and Hot Keys. Very irritating and contrary to a simulated trading session that mirrors the really situation. Hopefully this will not be the same on Thurs. when live trading resumes.
The share sizes will be kept low. 10 shares at most until profitable patterns emerge. Hopefully, the MACD and BB Band strategy will prove to be the ticket to successful trades. Looks promising, but only the real deal will tell.

Day Trading.... At the Brink
The MOAM has neglected the Nanepashemet Blog lately as I have taken my attention to learning the nuances of Day Trading during the last three months or so since the beginning of the year.
As you may know, health issues and generally stuff that affects people who have aged have beset me. I had thought that I was immune to the things that catch up with normal people as time rolls on.... but my doctors have told me differently. About a year ago, I fell carrying tools out of the shed and landed on the driveway asphalt with my shoulder bearing the brunt of the mishap. Although the pain was bearable, the shoulder wasn't, and my mobility and strength was impaired.
Dr. Ryan Churchill of the Mass General Hospital operated and pinned it back together..... but it crimped my efforts to keep the remodeling business active. Then I got diagnosed with prostate cancer.
My Urologist, Dr. Michael Kearney, didn't seem concerned as be caught this in early stages and over the next few months, we set in motion radiation treatments designed to zap the offensive cells away from my private areas. I anticipate this will restore the normal vitality that the MOAM has enjoyed through out his extraordinary lifespan.
Needing to replace the construction business cashflow with something more passive was the new challenge. I first looked to this pathetic Blog to place advertising and create a flow of income, but no dice. Even though the viewership increased, the revenue didn't respond in kind.
I then tried to sell stuff with affiliate marketing efforts through Amazon and Esty. No luck there either.
Somehow, Day Trading caught my attention. Here was something that I could do to create an income without physical activity and attention to a marketing area and workspace. No insurance or license requirements either. So, I moved around some money from my 401k to meet pattern trading rules and started trading.
For a while, it was downhill with a cumulative loss of three thousand dollars or so. Then, in two Days, I gained it all back and then some. Seemed like the MOAM was headed for the land of Milk and Honey. But that was short-lived, and I found out how fickle the stock market can be with a new series of setbacks.
I stepped back and changed my trading platform to Interactive Brokers (IBRK) and began intensive examination of market indicators like Bollinger Bands and MACD patterns. And I followed the advice of a trader in YouTube named Ross Carmeron, who showed me the types of stocks that would be best for the style of scalp day trading that I have been pursuing.
Next week, my account will be up to a level to begin live trading and chase a weekly profit goal.
Day Trading is not for everyone. But I have immersed myself in the nuances and conditions of this, and and am optimistic that I can turn this into the type of cash return that befits the standard of living that the MOAM has been accustomed to.
Will give you details of how this transpires.....

Shopping at Costco: A Journey Through Abundance and Community
In the ancient land of Nanepashemet, where the whispering winds carried tales of the moon and the rivers sang songs of abundance, there existed a place unlike any other—the great emporium known as Costco. Gather 'round, dear readers, as I weave for you a tale of shopping, camaraderie, and bulk-sized wonders.
The Gathering Place
Costco, nestled amidst the rolling hills of modern-day Danvers, Massachusetts, beckons travelers from far and wide. Its doors swing open, revealing a treasure trove of goods—stacks of bounty that would make even Nanepashemet himself raise an eyebrow. The air hums with anticipation, and the scent of freshly baked muffins dances through the aisles.
The Dance of the Carts
As shoppers enter, they grasp their chariots—the mighty shopping carts—each one a vessel for dreams and practical necessities alike. These metal steeds glide across the polished floors, their wheels singing a harmonious tune. The rhythm of footsteps blends with the clatter of bulk cereal boxes, creating a symphony of commerce.
The Art of Sampling
Ah, the sampling stations! Here, the gods of taste bestow their blessings upon the hungry pilgrims. A morsel of cheese, a sip of organic juice—these are the offerings that fuel the journey. Nanepashemet’s descendants gather, their eyes alight with delight, as they sample and nod in approval. “Verily,” they say, “this smoked salmon is fit for a sachem!”
The Quest for the Perfect Rotisserie Chicken
Behold the rotisserie chicken—a golden orb of succulence, spinning on its spit. Shoppers circle like hungry wolves, drawn by its aroma. “Two for the price of one,” proclaims the sign, and hearts swell with joy. Nanepashemet himself would have traded his finest wampum for such a deal.
The Great Pallet Hunt
In the cavernous aisles, shoppers seek the elusive pallets—the towering stacks of bounty. “Behold,” cries one, “a year’s supply of paper towels!” Another discovers a mountain of avocados, ripe and ready for guacamole feasts. And lo, the oversized teddy bears—companions for lonely nights or grand feasts.
The Fellowship of the Checkout Line
At the checkout, a fellowship forms. Strangers become allies, sharing tales of savings and discoveries. “Did you see the colossal jar of pickles?” asks one. “And the industrial-sized Nutella?” replies another. They exchange knowing glances, for they are bound by the Costco code: “Thou shalt buy in bulk and rejoice.”
The Farewell
As the sun sets over the parking lot, shoppers emerge, laden with treasures. Their carts overflow with bounty—gallons of olive oil, towers of toilet paper, and a lifetime supply of granola bars. They nod to one another, their hearts full. “Until next week,” they say, “may the spirits of Nanepashemet guide our way.”
And so, dear readers, let us honor the legacy of Nanepashemet as we navigate the aisles of Costco. For in this modern-day emporium, we find not just goods, but a sense of community—a place where abundance and camaraderie intertwine like the rivers of old.
May your carts be ever full, your samples divine, and your rotisserie chickens perfectly seasoned. And remember: Nanepashemet smiles upon those who buy the 96-pack of toilet paper.
Note: This blog post is a whimsical tribute to the spirit of Nanepashemet and the joy of shopping at Costco. Any resemblance to actual historical events or sachems is purely coincidental.

This Week's Launch
MOAM's Stock Picks of the Day
These fine companies are the stock picks for my swing trades for the day. I can't sell these during the same day, or that would be a day trade, and I don't have a spare $25k in my account to qualify as a day trader because of securities laws. So my plan is to hold these stocks and sell at a targeted exit price at the end of the week. Already down by $70 bucks as of this blog post, but I'm pretty optimistic that these companies will perform as well as possible to launch this prosperity quest.

Hasta La Vista
The MOAM has been spending a lot of time in learning Day Trading lately. There is copious information on YouTube and elsewhere on this activity and since I have been sidelined with a couple of issues lately that keep me deskside, I might as well see how it is done.
How Hard can it be?
Quite a few cocky bastards are boasting how they make millions with their trades that anyone can do.... and the MOAM is "anyone".... so ergo.... I will soon be making millions too.
Will keep you in touch with how it is done, and I will never forget the little people that I will be stepping over in my quest to be a millionaire.
HASTA LA VISTA BABEEE!!!!
