LOL, Paul....I'd comment on how much I want to agree with you, but just how much my GitaLong sense says "don't dare do this" makes me reluctant to do so.
My mental stops are gradually getting realized, awaiting whether a couple more are going to have to get executed before the close,.... have let go FTX, FDG, CPEU,....Watching ESV, RAIL, and BTU flirting with my mental stop points.
Is this called capitulation?....I could care less!.... when the market is not listening to the "IDIOCY" of people like the recent post of Big Energy Bull, and succumbs to the "RATIONALITY" of the Smarties, the Greenies, and I'm sure the self-satisfied likes of the Slippery ones. What a crock! When that category of manipulavesters succeeds in driving the lemmings over the cliff with their incessant Bearish caterwauling, while gleefully accepting the accolades of the very lemmings as they plunge over the cliffs....when this juxtaposition of the market holds sway over its behaviour, then I'm inclined (and, I'm sure along with many others) to step aside and let the massacre have its way!
It makes the strategies espoused by the likes of dabum3 seem so logical if one can accept the continuous research and close monitoring demanded (IMHO) by such strategies. To say the least, its probably a far more pleasant way of life to experience than to subject oneself to the vagaries of the occasionally successful manipulative crap going on these days.
Sorry, I couldn't resist one more mini-rant...but after all, its another month.
Otherwise, I wish you luck, Paul,
