Hi Voltage!

I've been trying to get in touch with my Angel.

I was wondering if you meditate or use some other method to clear your mind. Perhaps it's gardening or flying.

What happens? Do you suddenly feel what you must do?
I'm curious.

Often times, I've had it where I'm trying to do a simple task, but things get screwed up. I fight and fight to try to do the task, but something comes along and makes it difficult.

Here's a few examples:
I'm late for work. I'm rushing to get myself into the car. As I'm trying to get to the car, the phone rings, then my son wants a snack, the dog runs outside, etc.
Then I finally take off and get stuck behind a slow moving car or truck. I finally get around it only to find another one in my way. Then I get to the jobsite late. But then, by some coincidence I bump into a person and by some twist of faith, I soon land a big contract to do work for that person.
It was as if my angel was trying to steer me into this happening.

Another example:
I'm putting together a small piece of furniture like a printer stand or something similar. As I rush to put it together, certain screws and fitting refuse to be connected. As I wrestle with the thing to get it finished, more and more things happen to make the assembly much more difficult to do. I fight and fight and fight and finally get the screw to thread into the hole or get "Tab A4 to fit into Tab D17".
Soon after that I realize that I was supposed to do "Steps 21 and 22" before I attempted to do "Step 35"...

Another:
I'm trying to execute a trade. My P.C. freezes so I reboot.
I try again, but I didn't type my password by accident.
I try again, but the price now jumps higher than the limit I set.
I readjust my limit and finally execute the trade.
Within minutes the stock begins to tumble much lower than where I bought it.

In each case, it was if my angel was trying to guide me.
When I refuse to listen, I usually find out the hard way.

Lately, I've been trying to listen a little more carefully...

...traffic doesn't always upset me like it used to...
(crappy furniture still does)
:^)

Got any Angel listening tips?

Tom,

Do you feel Septemeber is far enough out to get past the current state of this market ?

In other words, is buying calls for Sept a smart thing to do?? I am trying to gain leverage with the use of calls VS stock, but I must admitt, I prefer to get the calls a little further out....at least November, preferably january. How do you feel about september ?
