Quote from gmst:

the bullish momentum is gone. I am positioned for the short. let us see.

Wow, look at that little monkey go!!

That was the line that ended Howard Cosell's illustrious broadcasting career. It applies well to the move we just had.

Quote from JoshDance:

Order still sitting here at 96.50 for the last half hour, missed fill by 1 tick and some change. I knew 97 was a much safer guarantee of getting in, but of course as usual want to minimize the risk as much as possible and as a result got left behind.

I had my finger on the trigger at 98, but got analysis paralysis.

More waves to come, just gotta watch and wait...and avoid the sharks.

Quote from gmst:

yes as soon as i finished posting that, it took off

have now reversed and am long again ...targetting 1206 or so

almost at the target...thinking if i should move the stop be (which was 1202 btw) and let it run for next hour or two...and just take it off before bernanke speaks ??

Exactly. I have finally arrived at the place where I`m comfortable missing a move. Makes for much more relaxed and profitable trading

I just hope I don`t get too lazy sitting on my butt here.

Too bad. You`ll nail it next time.

Awesome, gonna make that the wallpaper on my desktop!! (The monkey picture, not 1208).

why fight the dominant trend...price dropped after opening, came back up strongly, slight pullback and again amazing bullish momentum

not a time to short imo.
