Yes, it does make me sick to think of what could have been

OTOH, who knows what might have happened if it had continued to rally

Besides I am still short based on the original signal -- it was the short based on the continuation signal that got stopped out.

So what would have been a stellar day -- has turned out to be rather less than that.

But one must not get greedy -- besides tomorrow is another day!!

Talk to you all tomorrow

Sorry, but I am not done with it yet. I decided to send that employee home and work on it tonight. It is too hard to hammer these computers in between phone calls, questions and the pressure of knowing someone is waiting for it! :) Tonight....reformat and start over...that tends to eliminate a lot of difficulties. Pretty strange....add memory and the whole hard drive craps out. Very very odd....

Unreal....look at the bounce here. Guess a buy would have worked out with some cushion after all. Anyone who called today deserves big kudos....what a piece of a day. Chop city! Plonk nailed it pretty well I think.

Bet Pat cleaned up and down today if he traded....he tends to to well on days like today.

I am anxious to see what tomorrow brings. Have a great night.

Hi Doug --

Yeah getting stopped out that way was a bit painful -- but what can I say.

I tend to use a tight stop when it come to taking a continuation signal since I am adding to an existing position and I have to be careful just in case the market goes against me in a big way -- just good money management.

Hope that you are doing well.
