You did not tick me off, I'm just too important. Seriously, I cannot keep everything straight anymore. I really need to back off. The only practical way to do this is to do it BEFORE you start or AFTER you finish. I see where a lot of people try to follow others and others try to discuss what they are doing as they are doing it.... I have watched this stuff, it must be a nightmare. For example, I will read where T. Williams is Short while I am Long.....Now, I think I am God's gift.....so why is he Short? Makes you second-guess everything you do. So, screw that stuff, I would just as soon take a pass. Nothing against anyone else, but if it fouls me up I am quite sure that it will foul someone else up so I would just as soon not say. It's not you at all, Scott. Think about it this way....GroundZ may think the Market will hit 1500 by August.... David may say 1180 by late July... I might think 1180 by 10 Thursday then 1500 by 3 PM. Now, to be fair, you yourself asked me this morning and I said everyone was Bullish on the Day.....you thought that was a contrary indicator. I can't discuss that stuff. One will be bearish into the end of the week, another Bullish into August, and so on. I only care about the next few hours. It's best that I keep my fingers off the keyboard. So I'm not insulted, I would just rather not put my 2 cents in.
