might join you in the higher 600s , if we get there
That's ideally where I would love to put some on. My first three here are wee...can't get any wee-er (sp?).

Just wanted something in in case it kept running. Was using Gold profits to hide any DD. Now that I'm flat Gold...all I have is my EA DD (albeit very small). I'll take my next fill, and cut the three around 2620 unless we look a little exhausted once there.

Gold pays so handsomely...

Would be a shame not to spend a bit of it looking for another setup.

three fills and 2620 stops will lose me about 0.7%. So be it.

Thanks mate. Looks good! Not that I need even more stuff hammering in and strengthening my bias. LOL.
Tough not to let yesterday's close do that, though!

Always need a bounce, but tough to overlook that one.

hah, I love numbers. I'm being way to aggressive again this month. I'm greedy

However, that massive cable drop && euro drop paid me nicely... I'm actually above goal for the month, and I can't stop... lol

Loves it!

Last week messed me up! Worked for free. Been a while since that happened. This week has been OK, but would like that monthly figure to be about double that at this point. Still time.

Btw, regarding that Basel, I will be glad if you expand/correct me, because I am digging these memories from my head so they may not be accurate.

They have raised basel requirements for about 1% last year when problems with Greece started to escalate @ June. Since then, banks in southern Europe, which were already experiencing heavy liquidity squeeze, were squeezed even more. This one extra percent should have served as a cushion in occasion of periphery defaults on its debt. But since banks were in loss and squeezed, I ve been saying that if...
Good post mate but don't jump the gun just yet. This is just the knee jerk reaction on the EU comment. The news is important and have ramification across the board. First it needs to be confirmed in the next meeting. Second we need to know for how long they will delay (1yr, 2 yrs), third and more importantly is tracking the knee jerk reaction on the directly affected sectors (financial..that are driven the rally in the opening range) and only after let it settle in...

In simple words, in my books I see this as fuel for the next leg up in stocks later ...

Indeed. Just hate getting chumped by the bastards!

No real complaints, though.

How did the bottling go? How many?
45 bottled, carbonating right now. I need to get proper filtering tools for getting the last little bit out of the fermentation bucket. Probably another 2-3 beers worth, but soaked in sediment so let it go for now.

I gave it a taste. The warmer than expected fermenting temperatures gave the Oktoberfest a little bit of a hoppy flavor. So not quite what I wanted, but for a first go it's not bad, and I have tasted many a commercial beers far worse than this. Not to mention, it was warm, non-carbonated, and non-aged as well. So maybe the hoppy flavor will simmer down a bit after aging??

If not, I have another German lager I am getting ready to cook. I need to find a fridge to maintain proper fermenting temps though.

Probably going to use the H1 200 as my stop...a close above. In and around 2620...little higher, and rising...so may be -1% when it hits.

Sounds great for a first outing!

Would a regular fridge do...or would it not be big enough? Maybe you can grab an old one for cheap (or free) on craigslist?

A regular fridge would work, like a (large) mini fridge... or a freezer with a temp regulator. The bucket holds 5 gallons, so it's right at that point where a small or medium fridge would probably not fit, but come close.

Craigs list is perfect for it, I think.
