AD, your track-record-to-date-this-month reminds me of the time I thought I figured out a roulette "system". Bet on black, if it wins, bet on red. If it loses, double your bet. Double again and again on losses until you finally win. It worked well...until I had a streak of 8 times against me...wiped me out! At least I got the almost topless waitresses and free drinks.

I often say that if you're going to trade, you have to be prepared to take a hit

Don't feel bad AD. I bailed a 1/2 point from the high today. I couldn't take any more pain. Took an enormous loss, for the month I'm down far more than most people make in a year. Fortunately, it's only the prior two months profits.

You're sitting pretty. I guarantee you I got out not too far from the high.

Hold on AD, those shorts may become a good idea.

Note the bold.

Banks and tech stocks led the dowturn on the Tokyo stock market Wednesday

TOKYO, Japan -- Tokyo stocks were sharply lower by midday Wednesday, with big banks and tech stocks leading the plunge.

That followed a retreat on Wall Street and a fifth straight monthly fall in U.S. consumer confidence.

The benchmark Nikkei 225 average lost 169.19 points or 1.55 percent to 10,779.70 by midday, while the broader capital weighted TOPIX index was down 15.61 points or 1.45 percent at 1063.98.

Other Asian markets were mainly weaker, with Korea's Kospi down 2.5 percent to 653.51. Hong Kong's Hang Sang index was down about 85 points or 0.77 percent to 11,174 shortly before midday.

Australia was down 5 points to 3350, Taiwan was off 20 points to 4559 and Singapore was down 20.4 points or 1.34 percent to 1482 in late morning trade.


New Zealand was a rare gainer, adding 20.02 points or 1 percent to 2060.24.

Dow, Nasdaq both end down
In the U.S. on Tuesday, the Dow Jones industrial average had ended down 1.10 percent at 9,872.60, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq composite closed 5.26 points or 0.27 percent lower at 1935.97.

Japanese tech leaders such as consumer electronics giant Sony, mobile phone heavweight NTT DoCoMo and chipmakers Toshiba and Fujitsu were all lower.

But big banks led the morning's falls, with Mizuho Holdings down more than 7.3 percent to 317,000 yen.
