I closed the remaining long position today with a little more gain. But too bad the market did not move much to the upside. These days I am evaluating the option of starting an incubator fund. If anybody can share their experience and/or opinion on the service provider I'd really appreciate it.

Overall a pretty good week. Took profit with half of the position on Thursday and will ride house's money on Monday. Both initial trades should've happened at the market close of the previous day, but the damn meetings caused me to miss my trade. I figure it costs me about 15% ROR... oh well, I'm still an employee and such is the cost of doing business I guess.
