    - Fundamentally I'm very bearish on this company as I don't understand how a large part of it's business will not continue to be eroded to virtually 0% market share by smartphones. (I'm posting this in my journal so I can look back on this a few years and see if I got this right)
    - SPY very strong from 10am onward
    - GRMN making new lows and holding in a very tight range
    - Short the break
    - out +0.12

    Nice set of posted trades to end a horrible week. I took another setup in the afternoon (I don't post that style) which I played all wrong and wiped out todays profits. I knew I shouldn't have returned form lunch and just kept drinking instead..

    7-15 Week/Month.
