LOL...if I ever get the guts to do that with a full lot Ken, I'll be making some money then. I probably should have because this one off the 1H and 15m candles was pretty obvious that it would be in profit rather quickly. But I always get a bit a nervous right after lunch time. No telling what those boys might do when they get back with full bellys...

Most Americans are simply too stupid to see this.


After watching interviews of Obama voters as they exited polling places I've become a supporter of giving a written test to voters before they're allowed to vote, much like the testing of immigrants trying to become citizens. I'm convinced that 90% of them couldn't pass the citizenship test.

Hell...90% may be a low figure!

I recall standing in a line before the last election and hearing a minority group of Obama supporters who were absolutely convinced they wouldn't have to make a house or car payment if Obama was elected. They were sure the gov't would do it for them. Before it's all said and done, they may end up being right.

Baby steps don't rush it you will when it feels right, Just remember that setup and if 9 out of 10 work then you gain the confidence..

E/J did not make it down as low again , Why did I not take the long.. Who's got the stick..

would have been a nice 20 pipper pretty good for a day like today.. I am sure those that took the short from the tops aren't complianing at all though..

One day Toto..

I just read an interesting article about an energy trader at CITI. His name is Andrew Hall. Apparently he's pretty good at his job because his trades have entitled him to make a $100 million bonus.

Now there's a controversy over whether he'll get his bonus since CITI received federally funded bailout money.

I say pay the guy if that's the way his contract is structured.

No brother! He's made a killing in the oil market. I had never traded oil before in my life until it got same damn cheap I couldn't afford not to buy. I'm glad I did! It's paid me well and my remaining positions will probably get passed onto my grandchildren.

I've never traded that market but I thought oil was traded on a futures contract that had an expiration date. If it has an expiry date how can you continue to hold it so far into the future?
