JT- It has always been a pleasure to have you with us, I think that you bring sanity to this otherwise very bullish thread and I look forward to your every post with enthusiasm. You have freshness of style and expression and most important for me your posts have that exceptional quality of originality which has been a hallmark of this thread. Last but least had not been for great posters like you we would have been dead long ago.. I have nothing but highest admiration for your excellent contributions..OJ brings color in our banal trading activity and his P&F has helped me pull triggers many a time where I would have not acted alone on my indicators.. Overall I wish if we have these various opinions bloom in the market we all will benefit if we continue to express ourselves originally and passionately the way we have collectively done so far. I rate you amongst few good ones I read and follow..fwiw your posts have always meant a lot to me.. Thanks and love from me.. Looking forward always to hear from you..

Hi JT,..Re:.And if my posts are interpreted to be one of "gloom and doom", than you or OJ or someone else should tell me so. Your posts are always welcome and not interpreted as 'gloom & doom'. To me, this thread is an opportunity thread and opportunity exists in both directions. In the almost 2 years I've been reading it, I've found it to be happy and upbeat. Great gains have been made on the long side, (which might be why it seems bullish). But we couldn't hold onto or grow those gains if we only considered the bright side. We have to see all sides. That's why I appreciate your views; although I worry you are too serious sometimes. <g> Today's eco data. Business inventories = +0.4% Industrial Production = +0.2% - Capacity Utilization = 80.9% UoM sentiment = 101.0 bog.frb.fed.us Manufacturing output increased 0.2 percent, the third month of consecutive gains dismal.com Might be at a turning point in manufacturing? (I remember you were worried about this trend) Keep up the good work, Lee
