"Okay, Lilia - I am shocked!! at having made so much money this month, and may even double it by weeks end/mo end??

I sold RIG 5/5, and started really trading in my Roth IRA.

Started at that time with about 11.5K, and after selling positions today, am at just under $19K!!!

Looking to sell PCLN and AMZN this week, but in less than one month so far, I've made over $8K!!

This is crazYY.....Especially with a "sell-in-May" poopy market!"
