Since Jim is likely to have trouble typing after having landscaped cement all weekend, I will get things started.

Duane! Thanks for starting this. Actually, we've been at it for over six months straight. It's a seriously epic nightmare. I passed 'fun' a long time ago, and surely didn't collect $200...

How much are the futures up? They have to be 'up'... There is only 'up'. Up. Up, up. Futures are up... How much are they up? Up. Uh-oh, I think I'm losing it...

Anyway, for those wondering how the S&P might double within a year, wonder no more. Oh, and also for those who were wondering how it could be possible to get more insane than stark, raving, over the rainbow, toys in the attic crazy, well, read on. And you know what, when that all blows up, what comes next will make all this seem tame. Like the article said, and it's the first one to mention something I've been saying for a long time, when it blows up this time, they will hand more not less power to the banksters. Welcome to hell.

Oh, I see, ECBOT, GLOBEX, and NYMEX are 'unavailable for trading' due to 'technical problems at the exchange'. Okay, I get it. Hey, no problem. Imagine being in a trade, stop in place, and the market goes down. Then a 'shock event' happens. Great system.

Took them awhile, but they got it open. And the futures are... drum roll... 'up'. 2000 is a stone's throw away, and if they don't hit it tonight, they will surely hit it tomorrow, I think. In fact, tomorrow should be a big up day, a 20+ point day from the Friday close, I'd expect. Long and never wrong. ES 3400 coming soon. Oh, well. It is what it is. The trading is phenomenal, in my opinion, so who's to complain. I'm always looking deeper, always thinking about the broader implications, and that's why I'm always so miserable, I guess... Working on what I love, in an environment that is just fantastic for doing it, and miserable. How'd that happen? I guess the answer is: Banksters happened...

Anyway,'The Player' told me he's long like 175,000 contracts. Bought the gap opening, looking to see what it does around 2000, then he'll see.
