I think Toni made the trade of the day. She traded the boredom and potential frustration of the Fed day for sleep by going back to bed. She always has been the brains of the operation. Brandon

I really dislike the Fed days myself. I do ok in the first hour or so of the day, but after that I would definatly do better at the beach or something. Brandon

This thread has gotten to be pretty long, so Im basically going to let it go. If you do have some questions specific to a stock you are watching etc please do feel free to ask here and I will reply. I will now be posting on my new thread "The pump and dump thread" with real time trading ideas...

One of the most important concepts in trading is that nothing moves in a straight line. Even the strongest of trends will have resting periods characterized by either sideways movement or retrenchments. This is a function of the market that is as true as the fact that the sun rises in the east...

We havent had any from this one. We had a few last week though. Toni is no fun! I want to stand outside and see one, she says "If you dont get in here and come into the basement, if that tornado doesnt kill you I will" Always pissin on my parade ;) Brandon

Nope, there was a lot of support around 1140ish, so everything was closed at 1142. Brandon

Actually thats exactly what I pay for. To post here and share information, hopefully get some clients. If it was just a banner there is no way in hell I would pay for it. I don't get traffic from the banner. And, just to clarify I don't have to pay to do it, as most do not. I just think its the...

That works too, Except that I pay to be a sponsor of this site. DOH!!!

On friday we had a pretty strong uptrend day. Normally after a strong trend day the next day is choppy. Thats the volatility cycle. Brandon
