    General Electric - new position

    bought ge 11.75 up up and away The way I calculate it, we should be within about 5% of a nice looking low. Not sure how high it climbs, but it should move nice. I mostly trade futures. The last call I made on an Equity was ENDP at 5.80. I don't make Equity calls often.

    I actually wish I was given that advice early on... think I threw 3 years out the window focusing on trend reversals. Also, even now that I have deployed a trend reversal system... it only makes up about 10% of my trades. I've made it a more "rare" event, because they kind of are rare at least...
