Can the recent high in February stay with us for quite longer than almost everybody is expecting at this point?

We may not know the answer to this question for some time to come, but in my opinion this is a viable alternative to consider!

Thanks for that post. Yeah, you look at the skills 'out there', and what we do in here, and it's so comical you have to laugh. I try never to make comparisons, to put anyone else down, or anything like that, but after what they have put me through, it's hard not to laugh. They slam me, and it gets a bunch of up votes, and no one says a thing about this. They got what they deserved, no knowledge or understanding of what we do, or of how to truly do the work and learn to trade. I guess it serves them right. They got what they deserved.

I don't want to spin off on any more comments on the Public area, but one thing I see a lot of out there is the strong argument that stops are stupid, and I see some 'top guys' constantly saying they don't use them. Some, like kool, who I feel is a very good scalp trader, do use them religiously, and it's good for readers to see that, but many argue vehemently against them. I don't know, anyone who argues against stops, or any thread that allows that without comment, well, that just makes no sense to me at all. I don't even have to make a single comment in here about using stops. I'm about as sure as I can be that not a single person in this forum would ever consider for even a second trading without a technically placed stop in place.

Roofer that is the truth....they can lead themselves down the conveyor belt of "HOPEFULL Profits" as their accounts flow into ours.

if we are to have one more pullback before the bulls rock once more... the turn point is just ahead

Yes, after some communication with Guy, and my thoughts that having that out there, plus what I thought were additional innuendos about me maybe posting anonymously (I haven't), and about my integrity, he PM'ed me this AM that he was planning to pull all that off, thinking it was not doing the forum any good. I agree, and think it is a good idea. I mentioned to Bruce and Guy that if top posters or moderators (I'm a moderator for the whole forum, isn't that ironic) have issues with each other they should address them in private, not publically attack each other, for the good of the forum.

I think it is clear that the type of thing that happened is not good for the forum, and I'm very happy to see him taking such positive action. Now I worry that some will think (they probably won't say it in the forum anymore) that I asked him to pull it all... Oh, well, you can't make people see you in a positive light if they just don't want to.
