Alright, enough of this market stuff... what's everyone doing this weekend?

I'm headed to Bimbo's tonight (only two blocks from my Apt.) with the girlfriend to see Tainted Love (really popular '80s cover band) here in SF. It's always a good time and everyone dresses up '80s style.

Then headed up north a bit to Napa to visit with the gf's god-daughter (she's turning 1 year old) and chillin' by the pool.

Might try to catch the new Batman movie on Sunday, pour over some charts, and have a lazy day.

That sounds like a hoot...good stuff, mate!

I have no serious plans, but the Jazz Fest is on where I live...literally right outside my door. Queen Street gets shut down and there's bands and food and all that up and down the street and in pubs...all this weekend AND next. So, like it or not...that will certainly be part of my weekend. I have some audio equipment hired to the largest venue so I get all kinds of passes and shite...will milk that at some point, I'm sure! Jazz isn't my favourite music, but always good when there's a buzz on the streets.

Also want to check out Batman...must be done on IMAX!

NICE! I'm with you regarding Jazz... don't care for it TOO much, but I can definitely appreciate it. However, it is always a blast when people are out and about and there are some great food stands. Love that!

+44 right now, but still has some size to it. I may close out another partial and just leave it at the bare minimum size. Still deciding.

Just testing a theory...and I hate paper trading. Wouldn't suggest anyone long here.
Still have this one floating around...

My theory worked...theoretically()...just wasn't enough movement! Need more data! Will try it again next week. If it works...I will explain the "theory." It DID work...was just looking for a bigger move. Tightest day on Gold in a while. Pity it didn't pick up my order below...would have been a(nother) little cherry on the week.

Good good. Definitely one worth thinking about.

Are you in the dark now on the weekend? Still with Oanda, too? I know they stopped the "all" weekend thing, but they still seem to open earlier than most on Sunday.
