RR, I believe everyone else is on vacation. Oops, I mean I think I am the only one not on vacation :). No other posts today. In fact, I was able to cover the 400 threads I follow on SI in about 10 minutes today, LOL. tim

Hi Troops! Again, just a quick hello, a story, and a couple of comments. Family is still on the road. Poor internet connection, so will be brief. Saw a wonderful and rare thing today down here on the Aruba beach. Late this afternoon, a turtle nest that was fenced off on the beach started to hatch. We all sat there for 3 hours while 65 baby leatherback turtles popped up out of the sand and made a dash for the water. A huge crowd formed and a couple of people who are responsible for watching the turtle nests along the beach came by and took the barracades down and made a pathway for the turtles to the water. It was fantastic. Mrs. RR, the boys, and I were lined up right over the hole where they poked their little heads out. It was super. Ya'll know I love turtles. I was yelling "come on little feller" at that first one that was working so hard to get his flippers up out of the sand. Finally, that first turtle made it out and the crowd went nuts with a huge applause and then the line started with the others following. They had their heads poking part of the way out for almost 3 hours before they finally all started coming up. There were a few that looked quite disoriented as they tried to stay up with the others in line going to the water. The whole crowd started rooting for the little guys. It was a hoot and they all finally made it to the water. It was just as the sun was setting when they hit the water. I looked down the line with those little turtles, all those flippers just going at it, struggling to get to the water and the sun was setting exactly on the horizon where those turtles were entering the water. It was something to see. Market.... I'm all cash. That swing trade I did the past week on the June QQQ calls worked out great. I'd be very careful here folks. I'm going to wait for options expiration, let the positions unwind and take a fresh look next week. Not in any hurry. Don't have to be in the market every day. Get your plan, and have the discipline to execute it. You do have a plan, don't you? Patience, patience, patience.... Take care my Friends. Will try to get back on here again soon if I can get this connection to hold. RR
