sooz - im struggling. i really had not grasped gartmans saying of "im flat and
nervous" till these past two weeks.

just daytrades, mostly in forex though. portfolio is fine, but my mood certainly
is not.

StockpickrZ @ night I love & miss. I did a stint of being on just during market
hours. Its almost Stockpickr of old. All great threads in this post.

Running...If your using IRA Money to avoid taxes they won't let you short out of
it...so it has to be an outside account. In IRA's you can use ETFs...In this
crazy market...tight stops and new positions...In and Out...back and forth...and
all around. Crazy Fun.

We're 'Lovers' not 'Fighters'...

How are you holding up...my sleepless friend..?

Sooz

dont force the pass. take what the defense gives you and dont turn over the
ball.

football lingo for go with the market and dont fight it.

Val, you are talking about Master Po not Grasshopper. You want to find out
where the tatr is coming from, read Musashi's Book of Five Rings, Sun Tsu's Art
of War, and Bruce Lee's Tao of Jeet Kune Do. Yeah, they are martial arts books,
but they have application to life in general and I personally have found them
very insightful and helpful in most aspects of life.

Kart, I'm going to start calling you "Grasshopper" because every time you get
philosophical that voice from the television show fills my head.

Mushin!

Water rushes @ the path of least resistance. A vessel is only useful when
empty. This is the like the water basin having draining of what gives life H20.
Only when it’s empty can you fill it again.

Picture the water as the other side of the market. The only way this market
will be useful if we drain this stagnant water. What holds the liquid is a
solid. Think of Ying Yang. Think of opposites. White, black, day, night,
right, wrong, hot, cold, good & evil.

People think shorting is evil. I think its just part of The Empty Mind.

Don't fight the water fall. Let the force of the water bring you to safe water
or shore. Be willing to go with the market. Let the forces of the market guide
you. Sometimes if you try to hard you beat yourself. Don't worry you came in
the best time. Slow down a bit. Sometimes going slower actually will make you
quicker. Be in control & don't let this drama get to you, at least when you in
the game. After close then you can get all emotional, we're human. Some have
ice water running through them, but even they can thaw. Keep reading, educate
yourself always. Always be willing to turn on a dime. Be open minded & you'll
fill your head with good balanced approaches or thoughts, ideas, information &
the way you gather & calculate.

Consider the lights turned on. Gather $, trim some loss or take out junk. If
you have the will to short outright you can. My style is inverses & puts. I
only use them in crazy times & the set up for them. They helped me a great deal
when I discovered them. I did right here on this site way back in summer of 07.
Inverses & Ultra Longs are cool to be in. You can go against indexes or go
long the indexes. Follow the $.


P.s. The H2o will keep draining never giving the vessel its main purpose.
It’s a broken vessel. The Gov, Feds domestic & global are not trying to fix
the drainage issue. Fingers in a dike. People are not confident that if it
gives it will take everyone out. Prepare yourself, educate yourself. Consider
the losses as tuition.

zbear made a great call before the market opened on Monday to buy some of the
inverses, many of which were already at highs. They surpassed that now.....
