I also have feelings for GU going down.
The question is how deep?
If H&S on 15M would play, I would expect 481X.
H&S on Daily could bring it down to 4400 (I wish!).

But it looks like she doesn't want to be knocked down.

Infinity,
There is the pin on 15M, but it's above 5ma.
Should it be ignored?

No pin should be ignored but you have to approach with caution because of the fact that you mentioned...

I took more profit at 5000 and my stop is now at +80...

I would have thought that the further above the 5 EMA a pin is, the more likely the PA will work, I'd be wary of pins that are on or below the 5 EMA. Have I got this reasoning totally wrong?

In 1923, Who Was:

1. President of the largest steel company?
2. President of the largest gas company?
3. President of the New York stock Exchange?
4. Greatest wheat spec ulator?
5. President of the Bank of International Settlement?
6. Great Bear of Wall Street?



These men were considered some of the worlds most successful of their days.

Now, 80 years later, the history book asks us, if we know what ultimately became of them.

The Answers:


1. The president of the largest steel company.
Charles Schwab,

died a pauper.

2. The president of the largest gas company.
Edward Hopson,
went insane.

3. The president of the NYSE.
Richard Whitney,
was released from prisonto die at home.

4. The greatest wheat speculator.
Arthur Cooger,
died abroad, penniless.

5. The president of the Bank of International Settlement,
shot himself.

6. The Great Bear of Wall Street.
Cosabee Livermore,
also committed suicide


However,
in that same year, 1923, the PGA Champion and the winner of the most important golf tournament, the US Open, was

Gene Sarazen.

What became of him?

He played golf until he was 92,
died in 1999 at the age of 95.
He was financially secure
at the time of his death.

The Moral:

Fuck work.
Play golf.


PS I dont play GOLF !!!!
