    I'm beginning to think I'm becoming a fairly good contrarian indicator myself.

    On Valentine's day I placed a Mar 1320/1335 bear call. Immediately after getting filled the market shot up.

    Now today, on my B-day, I got filled on an Apr bear call and the market now is shooting higher.

    I guess this is proof positive that you can't be sentimental when trading. :)

    Coach:

    I guess you haven't been married long enough. Hasn't your wife trained you to always keep the receipt. I know in my house when I buy something there's a 95% chance it's going back.

    Oh yeah, and thanks for the fabulous gift. LOL

  6. Can't believe you guys are still talking ski. Over here in Utah we're gearing up for golf.:p 50 degrees today and it feels tropical. Courses are opening this week.

  7. There are very few places you can ski in the morning and golf in the afternoon...you and I are lucky to be living in those places! When we lived in SLC I would often go up skiing while my husband played golf..we belonged to Willow Creek...beautiful!

    sorry to be OT but so is Jessica :D

  9. This year was great for the most part. Tons of snow in the mountains, very little in the valley. If it was like this every year, everyone would move here.:D

    Willow creek is nice. I always say that Utah has the best skiing and golf for the price. And the seasons are perfect for both. Colorado is much the same, although in your direction it gets a littel pricey. :p

  10. I think you are referring to CashCache. But I do have a bear call that is starting to get close. What's everyone driving up the price for. :mad: Can't we all just relax and have the market sit still for a couple weeks. I don't want to have to adjust.:p
