"John looked over to the place where the body of Jesus had lain, and there were the grave clothes, in the form of the body, slightly caved in and empty--like the empty chrysalis of a caterpillar's cocoon. That's enough to make a believer out of anybody. John never did get over it." "Then...

Any chance of an unbiased source with which I could educate myself further? From the site you cite: "We are sponsored by Christian Leadership Ministries, a non-profit organization ... the faculty outreach and training arm of Campus Crusade for Christ International ..." "... a growing...

Yes, I agree. There are reasonable interpretations of reality that have consistently conformed (allowing for the odd revision) to our empirical observations coupled with logic/induction etc. and ones which thus should appeal to most reasonable members of society, such as It's not very nice to...

Unfortunately reality is continuously filtered and interpreted subjectively by humans. In fact we can never know the true nature of reality, such as it may be, because we are blocking the view. What enters one's eye over a given period is not identical to what one "sees" in the brain. If it...

A few Dawkins quotes ... The total amount of suffering per year in the natural world is beyond all decent contemplation. During the minute that it takes me to compose this sentence, thousands of animals are being eaten alive, many others are running for their lives, whimpering with fear...

Hi porgie, Simply because we have had a relatively tight choppy consolidation for 3 days ... I think pressure is building for a big break one way or t'other. Or indeed one then the other. :) The usual volatility expansion / contraction cycle. That's not to say it can't grind in a range for...

Thanks mhashe. :) But the blotter is only an average summary of all trades, I didn't trade 50+ though I hope to some day. I would have posted the whole thing but it takes up the whole screen. The most I have ever swung is 35 cars and my pants were in severe danger of changing shade so I won't...

I agree but am nervous about the reaction to CAT earnings (hence the piker put purchase) :). It made an all time high today and if they disappoint tomorrow it could nip the bulls' fervour in the bud, especially given the heavy weighting.

And my blotter, for what it's worth.

Breadth ...

The hourly chart looks quite bullish imho. Nice day for me scalping the 5 min channel and little 1 min ones, aided by volume climaxes at important time pivots, especially 15:00 and 15:30 (GMT) [blue lines] and also the double bottom at 690. Couple of Tick divergences and high volume hammers...

Winding up for a big move I'd say. But which way? 60 says up, 40 down. Anyone else got a view? A fake move down to 690 could make a double bottom and suck in some triangle B/O shorts before a big move up. Or just continue on down. Hmm, so many possibilities. :confused: Apologies for my...

Look, there's another one. :) A low risk entry in the 716-719 area. Wish I'd taken it for a quick 20 points.

Cheers MACD. Geometry is something conspiciously missing from my armoury, except for obvious Fibs and measured moves. You've inspired me to have another look at Gartley bats and butterflies etc. so thanks also. :) The world's luckiest final partial exit too. :D Gonna stop trading now before...

Nice to see someone using Gartley. :) Funnily enough I entered there too. Gap fill, pivot at 715, dumping volume climax, 3 pushes down, successful retest, TICK divergence...

I hear that Big Ben Bernanke kindly added liquidity at the crucial moment to ensure ease of movement in an upwards direction.

Wonder if that'll be it for now?

Good ole gap. :) Sold 2 @ 925 as targeted previously. Stop to 926 on last 2. A 1:1 complete from the 850 lows with a decent volume climax so this may be the top at 944.

Channels aplenty and positive breadth divergence on the NYSE. The COMP has a long climb ahead to fill its gap. :)

Ah well lost 25 x 2 = 50 points on this premature entry. Fortunately I then bought 3 @ 843 and 4 @ 844 with 20 point stops after it started basing around S1. Sold 3 at 897, 899, 902 respectively for +169. Stop to b/e 844 on the remaining 4. Will close two of these at 925ish if we get...
