Quote from RichardRimes:
uhmmmm perhaps you needed Mrs Rennick to be at the computer to catch the 50 pts of the dow you missed???
Ideally it would land precisely on 129. My call was for the Averages to roughly maintain that level. This means a certain amount of plus/minus latitude. On a day with the dow up 129 when the call was made, a 30 pt. plus/minus would be a reasonable range to considered "FLAT". Therefore I'll say the call was off by about 23 Dow points if you use 129 as a benchmark, not too far off.
Here is some " Inside Info" that you don't know. The "Chrystal Ball" I use consists of a Morning call (which I'm not posting) and the Afternoon call (which I have been posting). Todays Morning call was for "STRONG" Market action until the Afternoon update. At 9:43 am this morning I went long the QQQ's with the Dow up about 65. I hit my automatic sell order just before noon and was finished for the day with a great gain. I was actually glad the "chrystal ball" gave a NEUTRAL reading for the afternoon since I already hit my upside target. Obviously with 20/20 hindsight it would have been best to stay for the close. However , I learned a long time ago to set an upside goal and if it gets hit then I had a great day. The Dow was up 145 when my sell order was filled, so I didn't leave that much on the table. Plus I was able to golfing while the Market was still open.
That's the way I've been trading since I discovered my "Chrystal Ball".
