>> <<Yep. COMS moves 1 point from here I double my money? >> You only have 2 days left, we will know who is ridiculous by then. Just to remind you that DOW & NAZ both have a new record high today. << Strange coming to the defense of CRAWFORD, not that he needs it... But because the "we will know who is ridiculous" statement is uncalled for and unreasonable. The game of stocks is all about probabilities. There never is a "sure thing", just opportunities with higher probabilites. Just a few days ago, we went up past 30 1/2 on 12M volume. Why would it seem so strange to do it again? If your taking a 3 to 1 chance and the payoff is 300%, then I guess one looks stupid twice and smart once. Besides missing the point of evaluating risk/reward, why is there the need for "being judgmental"?
