Hi Paul, Dwight,

(off topic)

Thanks for sharing your views and information. Very sobering. I can kind of see some of the things happening but haven't been investing long enough to actually "experience" what's going on. It makes a difference. Every long trade I do these days feels like a risk of epic proportions. I recall reading that gold futures are one of the leading indicators of market trends. From recent news items, I see gold prices are at a 12 year low.

It looks like world markets were slightly up on low volume while we are on holiday. I guess everyone wants to see how the americans feel after killing enough turkey to feed half of China. I understand there are some economic numbers due tomorrow. That's another area that I have a hard time interpreting. I pretty much depend on the articles to tell me if the news is good or bad. Unfortunately there isn't a 1 to 10 scale to tell how "good" or "bad" the news is. Things generally look like we should have a few up days starting tomorrow. I'm going to start trying to hold cash more often than stock and just target rebounds from lower support levels on day trades. I also figure on putting together a small portfolio of put options on short term run ups. I don't know how well that will work but it seems like it should cover my back in the event of a crash.

Any opinions on time frames or if the Asian situation is fixable?

Regards,

Don
