I'll start off this week's topic. I think it may be quite an exciting week, with all the European 'news' and potential for meltdowns and meltups.

I'll post a pic I just took here for fun. You big city folks should get an even bigger kick out of this than the rest. Here's a pic of my garage roof. It's not as green as it will be in the summer because we are still in 'winter' here. Even though the climate is somewhat moderate, we had snowflakes just yesterday. One might ask why don't we scrape it off? We do, it just grows back so fast it's crazy. Nothing like living in the rain forest.

Now here come all the comments about what a nice beard that is...

there was no technical reason to not play the 886 algo to line.... i did not.... given there have been SO few days to be short... i chose to reshort at fib with line and hope for best.... stop is now break even....if price is going higher once again i will soon be stopped out...

Look at this action!

i am always PARTICULARLY!!! INTERESTED!!! WHEN THE LEVELS used by the pivot traders conicide with the levels that are key with our tools... perhaps this wiil give a little more depth as to why i was willing to short again...

If they really shake this out, next stop may be around 31.

Watch this 41.25 low area here, that might be it. I'd like some more selling, some serious selling, but I want a lot of things...

IF THE COMPUTERS ARE TO ROCK THIS OUT OF THE HOLE.... it will be from this... covered short at line and have called it a day...

Sweet, even gave a little possible 'W2' to help push it up. Now watch the ABCD right here. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Pretty cool, roofer and I have been posting the same areas each time.

A nice, crazy burst up close would be just a fraction over 50.

Hmmm, I just realized something. I am probably not going to get many, if any, thoughts or replies to my post. To do so would mean 'choosing sides', and I can see that few if any would want to do that. If they say I should 'enforce' my rules, then the person on the other end of that gets mad at them. If they say I should lighten up and let things slide, that may be perceived as going against me. I didn't realize this when I posted the above and asked for feedback, for help. I thought I was being as fair and upfront as I could be, trying to involve my readers and ask for help in a tough situation.

It just hit me now the situation we are all in. Hence, I guess, I'll have to decide. And I feel like no matter what choice I make I (and we) lose. If I say I'm just too stressed out and I'm leaning towards just locking the forum, I know I'll get e-mails begging me not to. I guess maybe the best thing I can think of is, if you have something to say on the issue, please send me an e-mail and let me know that way. At least I'll know where some people stand before I make my decision. Thanks.

Here is my two cents, unadjusted for inflation. I consider it a privilige to be a member of this forum and see how other traders do things, based on the Kane Trading Methodology. This forum is one of the most awesome things I have seen in this sham-filled world. IMO, one's health is of paramount importance, and I think it should be guarded carefully, if one is to maintain it. I say this as I face serious health issues of my own, caused, in good part, IMHO, by my sedentary lifestyle. I love the charts, and IMO, a picture is indeed worth "a thousand words." IMO, when the aggravation gets to be too much, it is a sign that one should put some distance between one's self and the source.



Sincerely,

Al Kamego
