>>>(ron, you can trade it if you get a note from your wife).

I tried, she said no way

she can never figure out why I do terrible on huge up market days but just fine on flat or down ones
as in; WELL!, so why didn't you buy all the ones that went up

I said the other day that I saw no reason for the market to break out of the trading range of the past four months and that there was more down risk than up; unless some external event came to play

well I was sure wrong

still, i don't see this mornings jobs report as reason for a day like this

should MCD WMT AXP gapped like they did today?

as expected CPU gapped down and killed my day and a lot of the week; one "safe" buy yesterday an hour before the close; yuk!

may short the above names small for a hold
an now short ARMHY CLRS KSWS RMAG SEVL ISCA SPWY TRK VISX

a few longs in IRA

that's it right now

I felt better after I heard that the DOW was up 5% for the week and up 6% YTD as compared to my own numbers which are a many times multiple of those

but I still hate to end the week on a down day; up for the day and week in trading account, down in IRA

hope everyone else did better and have a great weekend
