  1. the street is one way. also people just see one side, tunnel vision.

    when they suddenly realize they are in wrong side, their fear of being trapped will send them into another extreme.

    I like this scinerio. great setup.

    in this friday, everyone may look at those voters. but they did not realize "they will do it this sunday": another word, there is no deal this friday. the market expects miracles, very blindly, they jsut wish hope, but you see: just two days left, nothing on the horizon yet.

    very cycnicaly.

    I like this setups. this made the trading game more interesting. if there is no such untercertainty, I will forget about trading, just deposit my money in bank, do some things which may chellenge me mentally or phsyically.


    last friday's final drop is kind of dramatic. I see how dispointed those longs hang on last minute to expect miracles.

    the democracy system has its flaws. if there is no middle-man, dead-lock. just like in programming, multi-thread is nice, but waste too much space/time on dispatching, if there is no dispatching management mechinism, multi-thread is nightmare.

    the only thing here to middle man is GOD. miracles

    I like your idea

    my prediction-as it was in past couple weeks-it would depend on what those clowns in DC do and their f* "cliff"..if there is no cliff-then we have another one coming- debt ceiling..

    A very safe trade:

    Short CL (oil future) at open at 6PM ET and cover it at 10AM on Monday with at least 50 cents profit.
    50 cents one contract is $500.
