Stopped out. I wouldn't be surprised if that's the high of the day. I'm getting increasing good at placing my stop at or near HOD. (Hint, hint)

Thanks! I was swimming against the current today. What was I thinking??? (my notes in the morning are for an Up day and still I'm shorting..duhh) I need a BIG sign "when Up go LONG!!" some of us are sloooow learners.
so your saying I can use your stop as a target to go long against? - provided I was thinking correctly and on the long side - which I wasn't
Some us us never learn, so you're way ahead! You're doing great, keep it up! --- Is that why she stopped posting? Really? A big girl like her? I thought she stopped posting because she had some music buzinezz going on, actually I'm waiting for her to release some album (or whatever they call them these days) anytime now. Nod, throw us a bone!
