*** A word about technical analysis ***

I use technical analysis to help me with my "short term" trading. When using TA for short term trading it is important to recognize that any sort of catalyst can throw a monkey's wrench into the works.

For example, yesterday I was looking at FWRD based on the charts from the day before. All of the indicators were flashing a buy signal. In the premarket yesterday, one of FWRD's competitors was downgraded and FWRD's share price suffered in sympathy. Hence, I never took the position. Now I'll wait for the indicators to turn positive, provided I wish to visit with this stock again.

No method is 100% correct. TA is used to help get you on the right side of the trend, but be aware of any catalyst that may reverse your trend.

By the way, I purchased some KKD and it's going to the moon. I know it's overvalued, but when I was in Boston last week, I read where a Krispy Kreme store opened on Long Island and people stood in line 3 hours to get a damn donut.

Based on that information, this stock is going to the moon I'm tellin ya. Y'll better get you some!
