Positioned well ahead based on my system but truthfully I don’t trust slam dunk sell-offs. Sucked the initial stop way down. Bad data can be tricky. I’ve never trusted moves this fast. But nice to be on the right side! Planning and discipline works.

I love it when Kitco (Canadian) does an interview with an author during the Denver Gold Forum 2021, I not only agree with but more importantly has a sense of humour. SO important when managing your financial future!

Expect a range bound no-man’s land of chop after we get a good run. Personally I missed the Aussie run up being busy with changing over the charts to ‘Z’ from ‘U’ not that’s an excuse with validity. I guess I’m not as driven now as I used to be but I’ve also learned to…

My entry short at 79915 was as good as it gets. Entries have always been my strong suit but I put that down to my personality. I have a weakness wanting to be engaged. Always in the market. I fight that constantly. One thing I’m learning to benefit fellow traders is I’ve got to get…

On the anniversary of 911 I pause to remember my broker (H.L.) calling me and asking me if my TV was on. I said no but snapped it on. In horror I watched a newscast of the twin towers coming down. Our Western world changed. Not for the better. That day’s anniversary today gives me…

This long drought in posting is not wasted because I’m shifting my…

(Originally Posted Tuesday April 18, 2006 @ 19:44) The Easter Bunny sure as hell didn’t do me any favors. Holy bunny buns Batman! I’ve said before, it’s smart to stay away during F.M.O.C. days. But dumb and tired me went short seconds…I repeat SECONDS… before the huge rally today. My entire mental schedule was thrown…
