Something a bit off topic... Looking at picking up a new laptop today to due some trading while traveling. Any recommendations? I was looking at the sony vaio FZ series, or possibly the hp dv9000 series. 15" or 17"?

Nothing less than 17" will do.

With my desktop I use a classic triple screen setup myself, so you might have to seriously pare-down your screen real-estate as well.

Actually everything is pretty rosy for the Longs, if that's what you mean.

Until the Gap is closed, the Dips should be bought if anyone is playing today.

I'm trying to graduate from the bush leagues by learning how to hold on to my wins and call it a day.

remember its options expiration, take your profits when you get them.

this is a very volatile market. Excellent for intraday wide swings.

Am I the only one looking to sell this 1520-1521 level retest on a reversal bar with a tight stop?

Are you bullish because you are long or long because you are bullish? Emotionalism the downfall of many a trader to be.

I bought 1508's twice and unloaded them for a decent size gain on each batch.

So apex could have easily bought them, but not sure how wide his stop was.
