Agree, not the pissterical type when he's "High five-ing" the wall.

signal: sell. the system says sell. el vira volatility jumps to 11% while net long exposure drops to 61%. flip flop. lots of funny business going on and some scarey market momuentum. pull it. bail, bail, bail. i hope it holds together tuesday so the ark system can get out with less than a 1% loss, but even if it tanks 3% i think ultimately i'll still be happy with the exit.

full post available here: uhhh, i can't seem to copy the direct link, but is's a couple pages back before the kick in the nads and pee stuff.

anyways.

whack! mean, mean market today. dang near called that 1% drop spot on and was afraid all weekend that would happen since the ark system is limited to only making an ift effective close of business the first trading day of any given week. i knew that would bite hard sometime and it did. i am glad personal burro account was out on friday. and i had june money mostly locked up for ark except for today. dang, i hate it when that happens. ouch.

i am still glad ark is now out and looking for a week or two solid drift down so i can make a quick bounce score with june ifts. sorry to those still stuck long if that is counter to your goals or offends you. i am worried about greece and fed interest rates and 'sell in may go away' seasonality and crazy stuff like over-inflated bubbles. i am sooo glad tonight that i am all out.

happy trading folks. now let's get back to more important topics like guacamole and tinkling. that last one is one of my favorites.

I can't stop the urge to contribute. Must be a medical condition.

The to do list for #6 has peeing in front of a dog at a urinal. I sometimes do not shut the door when urinating. It's just me and the SO and up until a few years ago the dog. The dog (RIP) used to follow me to the bathroom and sniff the urine stream. My SO commented one day that it was disgusting. I smiled and replied in my best announcers voice "she's not just my dog, she's my urologist".

I always put the seat down. Always.

PO

Reminds me of a song.

I've been an avid reader all my life. I used to really enjoy the Washington Post Weekly Book Review section that would promote all the latest and greatest literature. Now I have peruse the Internet for that kind of information. In a recent foray I was really amazed to learn about "Pro-Wrestling Poetry". Will wonders never cease!!

Now everyone can run their own simple 5 minute test to see if they suffer from alexithymia? This seems to be the only thread where folks don't seem to mind running around nekked. So who dare's to bare it all by taking the 37 question test and posting the results? Be honest.

Online Alexithymia Questionnaire

whew! My wife would not agree

Test Results: 81 Points

Non-alexithymia: You show few to no alexithymic traits.

82, non-alexithymic.

across the board no traits except for i scored off the charts in the other direction strongly alexithymic in the "problematic interpersonal relationships" category. i think that is psychobabble for 'good in bed'.

86 points. Right on the line between green and yellow. Showed some traits in about half the areas, none in others. If I were in high school, I think that's a solid C. Something to be proud of.
