I post from many different time zones in last three months I have been in my home country for 45 days, my working country in Gulf for 25 days and London and Paris the rest of the time alongwith 9 trips for few days to nearer destinations, now I have three kids, some businesses to run too. The time I get is according to the time zones, most often I read first thing in the morning and make my observations. Now later in hte afternoon if i have time that would be near EST NY opening I will make some observations too. I have a sense of duty to my thread and have rarely taken an off, I am a kind of guy htat enjous work and for me even if I am in my hut in hinterland I make an effort to write. In the process if you still think I fail you, I think you should just look for a more frequent poster. I t has also a lot to do with my mode, sometime I like to be cheeky others serious, in serious state of mind I just try to be to the mark, right now I am little 'cheeky' like to take my liberties with you, however knowing you well from my past close encounters you will get upset. My request is that if you please read my posts in the last few days you will see my SPZ levels or SPX plus my very positive view of the market. I think you just want to keep listening to me all the type, and I appreciate the tremendous anticipation but mavericks like me are a rare commodity, sometime it is more others less, you rest assure that I try my best to write more often, when I am in NY as of mid Dec you will see my posts during markets with higher frequency, although I come for holidays but 'Idea' never far and is very much of my part of holiday, I take it very seriously and I assure you of my most distinguished considerations. <<Should I buy or sell? Should I just watch cnbc? >> In my whole life I remember very few occasions that I have followed CNBC, it does not suite my taste. The journalists analytical span is a short as that of 'extinct dinosaurs' or a 'chicken'. If that's what you do while sitting front of your console you need to get out in Central Park take some fresh air and avoid CNBC hig drama. It wrecks your nerves in bull runs and bear runs, just read serious analysis like I do and make your mind on medium to long term, you will see all this short term anxiety will be replaced by a nicer senerity.. Please read my yesterday's reports for market direction what I think I will do, my levels are clear and what I think of market is also very clearly stipulated.. 1355 was not tkaen out I need that out on closing basis..
