The next 10-14 trading days point down.
I'm quitting.
Thank you to all the anal, sanctimonious, traders who have taught me so very much.

Boy O-So-Rico,
A difference of opinion on the value of
"trading the news" and the importance of being able to state your case
(via Live Calls, the acid test of whether you're right or whether your wrong, regardless of what traders on this board think of them) and you high-tail it out of here?
Shesh!, I hope you're a little more thick-skinned when it comes to your trading.
***
I'm exact in my beliefs because that's what the market requires, exactness and the conviction of your beliefs in your trading methodology. That you took it personal is your problem, not mine.
'81 packer didn't take it personally when I stated - MHO - that he hadn't made the best R:R trade-off
(in fact of the matter, we were both surprised when the market dropped through the floor, not the least of which on my end the screens were green and less than 3 minutes later, BLAM!).
2006 didn't take it personally when I said
"everything's red - I'm looking to sell the retracement". Hell no, he just said
"Yeah, you and 1/2 of Wall Street, just you wait and see.", and the market proved him right, and I was happy for his success.
Why?
Because, I just learned something else.
We're here to learn my friend, we're here to learn, if you think something is valid, there's nothing like proving it
(or would you rather throw money at an untested concept)?
Good trading,
Jimmy Jam
