Mav, it doesn't matter whether or not I'm successful. My opinion is that "Running a business is B O R I N G" - ditto for working a slave job, that I'm sure more than 95% of ET-ers do. One look at the faces on any DAILY US crowded rush-hour freeway ... and no words are necessary. I've done the latter (slave job) for about a total of 2 yrs. and the former for the rest of my working years till 39. Compared to what I've seen, experienced and lived thereafter, there is no contest, "working or even running a biz. is brutally B O R I N G" So let me define the success formula for you: make ENOUGH money fast (legally) + escape from America without american baggage = P A R A D I S E (where PARADISE = realities and levels of tranquillity that ain't never been tapped)
Our vaunted federal gov't is in the process of turning the joy of running a successful business into a burdensome endeavor. I can relate with OP.
The HERD never sees a well designed ambush until too late. Dow, Nas, S&P at or just shy of 50% Fib. But silently, not saying a word, is the DEATH CROSS on ALL 3 indexes.
I went from 75% long to 60% long (40% cash). So far, deadbroke and his cronies are a bunch of no shows.
The SPX closed slightly above its 200 day MA, but the SPY finished at its 200 day MA. That's good news for the bears, right?

-------------------------------------- Sorry, due to a previous tying error in the overall STOP for the entire position, that error in the quote is corrected from 10,310 to 11,310. So repeating prev. post ... >>>> add to Short if Dow makes it to 10,453 <<<< Done! Short has been added to. Dow Jones Short of the decade continues unabated and unabashed!
