Thank God I survived yesterday's ultra-black-swam with little losses. I closed the week with a little profit, even though I gave back 90% of my week's profit yesterday. Now I have no position, and I AM PISSED! Pissed not because I gave back some money yesterday, that's part of the game, but...

Wow. I tip my hat to you EMG, I don't know how do you get your points, but it is working, you have been incredibly precise in picking inflection points

Yeah, I second that. IMHO, this market detached from fundamentals, and even most news over 1050 spx.

Pretty difficult to pick a side in this range; trend is up so far, but there's the gap hanging below... Waiting on the sidelines.

Government agency's secrecy and democracy don't normally walk hand in hand. Think about it.

Please contact your senator and support this legislation to audit the FED. The FED is not the owner of the money; the money BELONGS TO THE PEOPLE. The People have the right to know what the FED is doing. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/04/27/broad-bipartisan-coalitio_n_553305.html
