In this journal, I will basically say to either buy the open or sell the open. The success of buying the open or selling the open will be determined by the first half-hour of trading only. The close of price at the end of 10:00am will be the price used. If I say buy the open, then it will be assumed I am going long the BGU. If I say sell the open, then it will be assumed I am going long the BGZ. A coin will be flipped as well. Heads=BGU, Tails=BGZ I will post my decision nightly and will also post the percentages of wins/losses. This is only a hypothetical journal for entertainment purposes only.
