Starting it off.

My track record for that is very close to 100%. What's the secret? There is one. There is something to it. I try to think like a sucker, a noob. I try to get into that mindset. I think like I did when I first started. I try to get excited. I try to get into the moment, just like a plain old sucker. Then I try to post that just at the point when I would want to jump all over it. Seriously.

One thing that was pointed out to me by a student long ago was he was surprised at how much I use, how much I draw from, in what I do. I used to use the level of excitement in the announcers/guests voices on CNBS (used to be CNBC before they revealed their true shill nature when the crisis started) to gauge the strength of a given move intraday. I will draw from anywhere and anything that I think adds to my edge. Hence the 'secret' of why my die, pig, die's are such good reversal signals.

I just know this will jinx it, but: Die, pig, die!

They showed strength and didn't follow through... I wish that meant they are done, but it seems almost fantastical that this could go down even a few ticks at this point.

I'm just not going to say any of my flippant comments here...

Watch 43, it's critical.

I'm just not going to count on much here.

I'm stayin' cool, not saying anything this time...

I'm literally chomping down on my tongue right now...

This 38.25 area is worrisome. I hope it is at worst a bounce and roll.

don't say it

Just as I suspected. Good roll spot here, but I'm not sure they have anything left.

Pound spot is 70 pips down from yesterday HOD.
