    Banks/Deano – Whole XLF popped, maybe some leak on the stress tests? 

    SLW/STP, Rookie – What we have left is the Jan $20/25 bull call spread but that was initiated on 2/12.   You are referring to a position from the old STP, which was totally cashed out last year.  If you were sitting on naked $19 calls, that's a very nice gain but shame on you for not stopping out on the drop from $27 back to $25 AFTER I have made roughly 100 calls this month to get back to CASH!!!  

    Austerity/Lunar – It's like that discussion last week we had on facts vs. opinions.  Like Trickle Down Economics, Austerity has been proven not to work over and over and over again – it's a political tool, not an economic solution – yet it benefits the rich and powerful at the expense of the poor so it continues to be used to bludgeon unsuspecting populations.  It's war – just an economic one, where the oppressed are unarmed and unable to fight back and the goal of the rich is to keep it that way.  

    Gates/StJ – OK, I will say that, if I were a Gates kid, I would be pissed if I didn't get at least $1Bn!

    Sushi/Wombat – Goal-oriented trading is the best kind.  If I'm thinking going out for sushi and it's going to be $200 for the family, I like to try to make $200 to pay for it and, if I happen to make more – we go to Nobu and, if I happen to lose $200 instead, then I scrap the plan for sushi and we're even!  My friend and I spend two weeks in Tahoe like that, gambling for every meal and every show, room upgrades, etc. – we went home with more money than we came with and the secret it taking a small win and walking away, rather than doing what most people do – which is play until they lose.

    Like this morning, the RUT made a quick $200 so I'm happy.  The second it turned back up I got out and now we're at 1,190 again so maybe another chance to play (if we get the signals from other indexes).  If you can't be happy making $200 – you shouldn't play in the first place.  

    Nice call on Asia, Den.  

    Big Chart – Man, this thing will NOT let us draw new lines.  Another down day makes a bad trend (head and shoulders) but who knows with expirations tomorrow?

    Keirkegaard/Wombat – I love Copenhagen!  

     

    Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.

    People understand me so poorly that they don't even understand my complaint about them not understanding me. – Soren Kierkegaard

    I have a theory that good beer breeds good philosophers…
