    guessed wrong, but still in the money.

    long 9 ymh4. 3@10330, 3@10360, and 3 @10390

    for appox 420 ym points = $2100.00

    previous sell stops brought up as stated in first post

    however due to the negative 3 reports this am bringing all 3 stops to 10399. sell stop 9 ymh4 @ 10399

    You noticed that too?
    I have made more money by going long into "obvious shorts" in the last few days.
    I am banking on the January Effect to carry into the first week too. Wish me a calm market.:)

  9. It seems to me you've already had the "January Effect". Today was the first day in the last 13-14 where the SP took a prior day low out! Personally I'm expecting some profit taking to kick in the early part of the year. Either way, you've got a great trade going, easy to manage at this point. Congrats!

    I didn't see this mentioned anywhere, but when does the competition end? Only wondering because I plan to enter with options trades (is this allowed, btw?) and want to know when I need to get out, thanks.
