Do you mean I've made a complete dunce of myself in public AGAIN John? Oh my! What it REALLY highlights is that is that there is a tremendous amount of STATISCAL NOISE in the momentary fluctuations of any given security at any given time and CLEARLY DEMONSTRATES the utter folly of short term bottom and top calling. Sometimes a trader can get hot and be really in the zone, but sadly my own experience has shown that a hot streak can get real cold real fast. So I will continue to heed the words of the great one from Omaha - "In the short run the market is a calculator, in the long run its a cash register" Time is my friend, not my enemy. Time filters the fluctuations.
