I took a stab at the long side , perhaps a bit early, just now at 63.80; I was getting bummed missing it....so I violated my own timing model. The interesting hypothesis one presented was to load de boat on variables....then test by removing one at a time to see how it affected the model---working your way down to the variables that "mattered". However, I view this as defective logic. Perhaps looking at the Bond or the Philly Banks works in one time frame and not in another. It truly is a head-scratcher. I am not quite certain why I went down this road. I guess deep down inside I must feel guilty for trading without really working very hard at it. Anyway, now that I finally have a position on I have to book for a short time.
