The worst feeling for me is not abiding by my trading discipline and rules and then getting punished for it. I could care less what the market is doing as long as I stick to my own trading discipline and rules.Quote from Roman Candle:It's your call, but the worst feeling as a trader is missing rallies. It makes me feal like crap.

BTW: The 2003 rally took the SP500 higher by 40% over a period of 12 (!) months. This rally so far is clocking in at 35.1% within 8 weeks (!) or ~500% annualized.
Quote from ByLoSellHi:
Biggest, fastest rally since the post-Crash 1930s, and on the back of a weakening economy here and abroad (Europe has abysmal revisions yesterday - they are in deep crap).
Markets can irrational longer than individuals can remain solvent, but with the continuing job losses, which is by far the most important indicator of future corporate profits, sticking with one's discipline is now more important than ever.
Quote from Roman Candle:
That suff won't matter. The game is now rigged to the upside. Goverment will just lie about the economy. Thats what they do.
There may be bread lines out side CNBC but all the masses are going to be fed is good things, nothing bad. It's all rigged in the other direction now.

We cleared resistance @8000 on a weekly basis. Their is some congestion near 8500.
