May the wind be at your back..... Thank you sir. Maybe your wishes had an effect ! Today the wind has been behind me and with great strength, in spite of the market being sicker than a dog with distemper. Clearly [and finally] found a strategy that seems to work --at least for now. For that I am in Nirvana. I just spent a few minutes reading part of the thread and I can't help it but... ROFLOL ! I acknowledge, I have not read the entire thing, and I am not even going to find out why all the commotion, but based on my own recent experience... I will take your good wishes, release the spinnaker and let it balloon so it can put great distance between moi and this here thread. I can't say I won't return as there has been in the past good exchanges. But under present conditions and in light of my own experience in the last few days, it was a reminder of the collections of lunatics that inhabit this asylum. --No name calling-- simply my impression, like an image... ah yes, a fantasy of mine... I've been driven to insanity I suppose... After all, if you walk amongst wolves, soon you begin to howl AUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU LOL ! ..."si el saco te queda ché, que esperás para ponertelo !" Roughly, that means ... ...if the coat fits you, what are you waiting for to put it on ! [That way it is self-imposed] ho ho ho. This certainly does not apply to you... [Unless you wish it of course --gg--] On the contrary, I enjoy your comments and I have learned from them, no doubt I will continue to read them. All of a sudden I realized, how peaceful I was prior to the markets being closed. Then they closed them, finding me less busy. Unwisely, I wonder into the asylum and sooner than later I found myself embroiled in silly idiocies. Today the markets opened again and yes, it was tense, as I had no idea where the hell we were going or what to expect. But as tense as it is, I love the intensity and the life that it has, so soon I was enjoying it once again. Very similar to the start of a race where just prior to the marshals dropping the flag, (these days they use a light switch), there is an intense feeling of anticipation that instantly disappears as soon as you drop the clutch and unleash the beast at full blast. The machine bolts forward with great force, rushing towards corners at lightening speeds; the speed, the noise, the color, the smell... all that is intense and allows you no time for fear or worry. You are concentrated with the task at hand, controlling a powerful machine that will thrill you to no end, but also knowing it can kill you if your concentration slips for an instant... With all the perils of the market, still, it kept me safe from insanity and most importantly, away from this thread. LOL !!! As I read the thread just now... surprisingly, I felt at ease. Better, I started laughing at the writings making me even happier knowing that I was a mere spectator. I understood what inspired Vespasiano to build his Amphitheatrum... LOL. So at this point, once again I thank you sir for your good wishes. It is farewell for me, as the wind has been strong and distance is now considerable between my vessel and the now distant asylum. This missive has been sent inside a bottle, hopefully soon arriving at your shores. Hasta luego and as the Eskimos say... May you have warmth in your igloo, oil in your lamp, and peace in your heart.
