In a word, "OUCH!"

Lost 6 points today taking classic long setups that just didn't materialize in this unsettled climate. And only 3 winners in our last 10 trades. Not exactly up to par!

This has me feeling a bit skittish now about entering any new trades for a day or two...just want to see where this market is going. The OEX is right at its bull flag support level (582), and if that breaks tomorrow, I think we are in for a longish period of unsettled trading. This is clearly a daytrader's market right now...and swing trades are getting whipped past key levels.

May just try a few QQQ/DJX/OEX options trades (daytrades) until I get a more confident feeling for where we are headed.

Where is everybody today? I joined you in ABGX after selling IMCL. Still holding EMC,looking good again today :-).
If only it would break above 12 again, I can take some profits and move on.
