    At the close the C and S funds eeek out a positive day (0% for the S). This gives us 'hammer' formations on the daily charts, which is bullish!
    50% S, 50% C 06 Mar, was 100% G; 80% S 20% C COB 08 Jan '24; 100% G COB 14 Nov; was 100% C COB 31 Oct (Boo!); was 100% G COB 12 Oct; was 50% C, 50% S COB 22 Jun; Life is good!

We're at the bottom of both ascending and descending channels, oversold, etc. If we get back up to the top of either channel, I may take 50% out... we shall see.
    I feel your pain! Futures are up this morning so perhaps an opportunity to reduce exposure presents itself.

    Can only hope it means a good day. Sure can use a little uplift today.
    Had to change to a new pair of sticky pants.
    May the force be with us.

    Nice pop on the open, but we've got allot of ground to make up...

    So far the C and I funds are back in positive territory for me, but I need a close of 1215.63 out of DWCPF to break even on that part of the trade. So yes, lots of ground to make up.

    BTW I was looking at LT's wave chart for August. He is pointing to a high point (rebound high) for the S&P on 23 August, plus or minus a day...Just food for thought.

    Nice rally taking place today. Just hope it continues.

    I was referring to yesterday's 'hammer' formation on the daily chart... but, hey, that works too!

    Hey Hammer Time is Hammer Time. Looking for some more upside this week so I can exit my position. The Tuesday rally got me back to where I was before I jumped back in. As I have said before, August has never been kind to me, so if I can exit with a small gain or break even, I'll be happy. I should have followed my system and stayed at 50% invested. Will I ever learn???

    Well... it seems I'm caught in a little bit of a down draft, thanks to the fat kid shooing off his rockets. At any rate, holding position, got out at the highs, got a good 50% buy, threw in the rest the next day thinking all was clear and down it went again. Not above water yet as my second buy was near the top of the pop. So the fat kid is at it again. Looking for this to blow over and tax cuts to get passed before any upside resumes, expecting weakness (at best sideways action) for the time being.
