Well, the "I was molested at a tender age; I'm an alcoholic, and I'm going into rehab" excuse has already been used this week.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote from Pabst: Without giving away what I'm looking at (some of you know a little) I believe that SPX did Friday what most indices did months ago. Topped. As in over. Perhaps over for a few years. This call is not based on hunch or feel and certainly not based on fundamentals although IMO a wild card event will accelerate the break. Rather it's a call I'm making off of a complex analysis of measured moves that provide the backbone of my trading. I will give myself wiggle room to 1347.86 IF SPX trades above 1348 anytime this year I will leave Elite Trader forever. I will also suffer a pretty good hit financially if SPX continues to rally. In memory of those American's who perished 5 years ago: Let's roll! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- why not give up what he was looking at? jeez 38 page thread, not one bit of specific for his case, other than a dare not like it worked anyway, so why not tell?
Obviously, if everyone who ever made a wrong call left this board it would be empty. Stick around, Pabst. I'll buy you a Keystone.
this was a 'rubberbird' level of thread that he started bold prediction, no specific case, promise to leave 'a little rubber bird told me s & p wont trade over 1348 this year' LOL! is pabst rubberbird?
