I always find it amazing how many people gamble in the market. They even think of it as being a big casino. The people who work in that casino certainly don't think of it as gambling, not as far as they're concerned anyway. To them it is work, and they go about it professionally. Translated...

Call me crazy, makethesetrades, but your trade recommendations are one-sided, so they don't qualify as trades at all. You make a entry trade recommendation at 8:30 am, for instance, to buy F at 17, but you give no exit advice. If Ford ranges between $16.50 and $17.05 that day, closing at...

That's the title of a good Neil Diamond song. I guess we all use a bit of feeling when we prepare to take on a trade, but I try to leave my feelings behind once I'm in the trade; going strictly by the book (of rules) until I exit. In any case, here are a few lyrics from Neil's song that I...
