  2. Good post.

    I don't see any reason to get bullish yet either - down trend resistance needs to fail first.......seems to me like new lows are coming imho.

    Friday's bounce from the limit down open was much less of a bounce than the last few times we were in this neck of the woods..........couldn't even make it over the 50ma on the 60 minute this time.

  4. I consider myself a good trader, have many years of experience behind me and to this day I am still a terrible predictor. Well anything above a few minutes/hours at most.

    Without a live market I'm "a non moving target", I need my RTHs.

    Stuck with daytrading I suppose, major kudos to those that swing trade consistently well.

    Almost 80%+ for the Dow in 15 months? Has that ever happened?

    I'm glad there's a permabull here to counteract all the permabears (the "Dow 3000 next month!" crowd), though I don't agree with either camp. But you really need to tone down stuff like that. It look the Dow and S&P a full 5 years to go from the 2002 lows to the 2007 high. Bull markets are almost always slower going than bear markets.
