I'll start the week off with this funny cartoon that 'says it all'.

ES reacting so far to this key area here, but will it sustain, given the bigger area that sent it up? Dueling areas. I wish the bullish area would give way...

Well, that looks like all it has. Darn.

Okay, another chance, C'mon, give it to me, baby, dump you oinker.

Of course they snapped it right up off the low, again.

I get quite upset when I hear anyone talking about how good things are in their area, about how well they or some others are doing. As I mentioned before, I live in a very rural area that is very hard hit by this depression we are in. Everyone I know/see is suffering. The Walmart here has clearly shifted to looking more like a dollar store, with just endless junk on the shelves. On the first of the month it is standing room only.

The other day I saw a 10# bag of potatoes there for $5.50! At Walmart! I usually pay $1.79. Yeah, I have heard the excuses, there was a flood, or a drought, or whatever, and potatoes are up. Right. I hear that excuse about something every time I shop. Funny, though, they never seem to come back down much after the issue is resolved.

Anyway, here's some quotes from people that sound exactly like all my neighbors. The real bi#%& of it is, some day we will all look back at today and wish we could be here, calling this 'the good old days'. Trust me, we have it great right now. How sick is that...

Okay, that snap was a fake, looking better now. C'mon, baby, 'You can do it!'.

The reality is this KZ here is likely to stop this. But, I can dream, can't I? Now we have three successive areas dueling, on three decreasing timeframes. Decision time is at hand.

Swooooooooooooooooooooooooosh out of the blue.

This is an update to some work I posted before. I find it very intriguing.

Well, I totally got my wish off that HOD area. Even if it stopped here it has done more than enough to make me happy. The rest of an additional move here would just be gravy. Bounce off a key area at LOD, up to a key area at HOD, then rolling over. This is 'as good as it gets', in my opinion.

heh heh heh
