Oh, Thursday rotted. I had it dead nuts for a buy at 1227 only to see my computers crash as it was heading for 1226.50 The machines finally came back and it was 1235. I tried to buy when it dipped to 1232/33 and the machine went out again. I gave up. The next day (in desperation, having missed a 36 point move on Thursday) I managed to completely self destruct. I was not someone you would have wished to speak with on Friday night. What a swing....blowing a 32 point move Thursday and dropping whatever the hell it was on Friday. It was a lot. Here it is, 17.2 points. No, I would say this month has not been my best effort.
