Slight decline, 35 contract volume bar... Like a firecracker that just fizzles out. Well, I have free HBO...

I never know. I travel when there are problems, I stay until there are none. Booked the flight today 2 hours before takeoff, no return flight. may go to Boston, or New Jersey, or home from here.

OK, I dare you to give a dollar figure.

You really don't want to know.

I am just having fun Mike.

Hedvig, I am being silly, I hope you know that already. The amount is not significant really. It is what most of us focus on, but that is not really what matters.


I figured you would come out correct, and I wish I had your confidence. I will, most likely, some day.

No problems.

It was a very satisfying trade and the reward was worth the wait.

Alright; gonna hit the road (I like driving in the middle of the night)--I'll be 'power drinking' some of my Reverse Osmosis water I packed {I'm cheap--I don't like buying bottled water}.

Thrifty German heritage.

Have a smooth Friday and weekend!

peace

For some reason I expected more of a reaction. I am not familiar with off-time news. maybe I was just hoping to have a shot at today, and knew I would most likely be traveling. Had a high dollar issue come up that needed attention and resolution. Meanwhile, had to abandon trading.

I don't see anything I would trade tonight. I might win, but why? Something to do? Where is my edge? I see none.

We are only as accomplished as our next trade, which means we are never good enough.

In 5years, I have lost about a quarter mil, gained it back and earn my keep from it, I could lose it all again....so no rest for the wicked (ever).

Last night, under the stars at the Popolo, on the riverside(in BNE again, spending all my summer here down under)...with a view similar to this....drinking very good Shiraz....



I thought what a fantastic thing trading is. That it allows me to do this...and continue to earn my keep. Freedom of time.....priceless. I have never been freer...and that IMO is worth something.

Good thread, Gary....keep it simple and see the forest.
