I hear what you say about the 15th of July but this was when all the countries around the world decided that we were in a recession and economic doom was upon us, people fled to the dollar and the pound plummeted

I think things have improved a lot since then so I am not sure we will see the like again very soon, I will send you a report I got today which may cause the pound to crash due to our government overspending
David, I don't think we're any better off than we were a year ago. I'm sure you've seen me say the DOW is headed back to 6700. I can actually see 5500 as well, but I don't want to scare the living shit out of people with the reality of it. When the DOW was at 14000 I said we're going back down to 10200 and noone believed me, I further said if we break the 10200 we're going to 8800 and we break 8800 we'll see 7200 and then possibly 6500. I'm sad to report, I was right. I didn't want to be and I don't want to be right again, but the global economy is faultering and the US is not able to control what's going on any better than another country. Do I think the $ is any better off, hell no, I think the dollar is about as worthless as the TP I use to wipe my ass with, but it is the monetary currency I have to live with for now.

Now that you mention it bro I do recall maybe I have been sucked in by the media and I have started to believe their BS, it could be time to reevaluate where I stand time will tell.

The fuckin media is poison bro! I can't stand to watch or listen to their bullshit. I'd rather watch Sponge Bob with my son, actually I kinda like Phineas and Ferb, but anyways.

I remember saying years ago.... if she just moves 120 in one direction i can at least get 60 or 80 of it..... and was perfectly happy!

Had a nice run up earlier and closed and reversed at 6400.....stopped that one out with a small loss!

Looks to me like holiday is starting early. Think I will join them.

You guys are the best....thanks for letting me hang out!
Bro, enjoy your 4th! I know I will!

As well, your always welcome here! I'm honored that you choose to be here.

You are right I have been very sceptical of what is going on for a long time, actually I was thinking about this the other day one of the reason I bet most of the people trading in the cable update thread are loosing money is they have a bias in one direction only, I think as has been proved here it is irrelevant what happens if you follow the candles and the Pa you can make money the direction does not matter
