Well, started to post the market magnets when I realized tomorrow
is Dec 1 and I thought....

wow, its December already. Near my SI anniversary date. Cool

A little reflection on the year. Jan 1st 98 I was still working the
(don't laugh) wade cook system. Did not take long to realize the
pitfalls his lack of serious TA and FA brought. I do recognize him as
giving the motivation to become a full time trader, but that is where
the recognition of positive change ends.

Lurking around SI I found a little pick o the week thread. Seemed
like lots of quality posters. Doug R, the amigos, Jim Strauss... made
some good money on the picks though still quite in the dark on
analysis. Also found a few other solid threads, Stock Attack, Market
Gems, TSO, TATRADER GIZZARDS, Three amigos... Chris, Lastshadow, Don
Sew, TA will always be on my read list

This guy, Doug, he does TA seminars. Cool, I better check this out.
Myrtle Beach? Sweet my neck of the woods. Transformation begins.
Lights turned on shortly after the seminar. No longer would I be held
hostage to the market. Now it is just a matter of taking the bull by
the horns. Feels so good....

Well, magnets popped out of my head a few months later and lessons
were learned over the summer regarding stop losses. Overall I can
honestly say it has been one hell of a great year.

thanks to all who contribute

Market magnets 12.1.98

notes:

Dow ended the day at the top of the three important uptrend lines.
Looking forward to how it reacts over the next 2-3 days, will see if
the buy the dips is still in order.

Nasdaq: sticking with my 2055 target for the week.

SP500: similar to dow.
