    Anyway - Thank You!! - Your home is lovely - and it's the "spirit" not the size that makes it inviting.

    How is it we suddenly slipped into a conversation here about toilet seats and colon cleansing?

    So are we finally going to see that 1320 we were talking about last week? The P-Sar is still on a buy signal after all. I was about to close out my remaining C this morning thinking SAR was going to flip over today-it was so close, but when I saw the chart taking off, I decided to stick around and see what'd come next after all. Glad I did! Now I have to fuss with that pesky exit strategy all over again. Phoo! (NOT to be confused with poo ).

    My autotracker minitest of the MACD just keeps chugging along on upward track in fits and starts, HLC bars are STILL above the PSAR. Candle Bounced back above the 5day EMA yesterday and is still above it today, as well as above the 20day EMA. First time that's happened since late March. Think I'll stick with my experiment a little longer. If it follows March's pattern, the next short decline will end up in a long march back up. BIG IFFF.

    Sitting in G with real $ while I watch and learn. If it looks like C is going to play out still towards 1280, I'll stick with the C I've already got in the autotracker game until intermediate group of signals finally turns against me. However, I may move some $ into F tomorrow also.

    F is moving into an uptrend MACD crossup as of today, and has an HLC bar over the 5MA today too, so I'm likely to move back into F tomorrow for a bit with real $ and some play $ too. Will see how things look in the am.

    Well, I thought about backing partly into F today, I really did, based on PSAR buy signal day before yesterday and MACD crossover yesterday, but when I looked at past several months interactions between PSAR and price "trends", its a sucker bet IMO, could go either way and too fast, so decided to sit tight in G and C and watch.

    The SPX candle shadow is still sitting on the 20yard line before deadline, and the candle is still sitting on the 5day SMA. PSAR and MACD are still moving up-sort of. Glad this is my play account I'm talking about. Much more peaceful sitting in G with real account right now.

    Remember when I was talking in the other thread about getting out of debt and having an emergency stash before worrying about extra retirement savings being something I learned oh around about 1995?

    Well, I was just reassured this morning by our regional administrator that "no furloughs will take place and funding will be in place to meet payrolls" during our current agency funding crisis. How's that for an incentive to have your short-term cash ducks lined up, kids? My agency goes through financial crisis virtually every year anymore on account of wildland firefighting in CA and other places, but I haven't heard the word "furlough" mentioned mid-summer in my last 20 years, even when Congress is fighting and hasn't passed the budget yet.

    Thought I'd share a bit of personal philosophy tonight with anyone who cares to read. One of my past positions required that I serve as mediator/facilitator between regulators and regulated, leading a small interagency group whose mission was to work by consensus up to the point that we couldn't. I spent a lot of time and energy dealing with young regulators new to their jobs, getting them to check their assumptions, biases and preconceived notions about the regulated (my agency and operations) at the door and work with facts, as many facts as we needed to get to a complete picture of the situation and an answer we could all agree on.

    A lot of what I did, also required that I help regulators consider alternative interpretations of the facts in front of them, some of which would never occur to them if I didn't lay it out. Sometimes truth fell on ears deafened by panic and fear of what to them was new and unknown, and I just had to let it go for another time, give them time to go home, do some more homework (I hoped) , and revisit the issue another time. sometimes that's the way it goes, sometimes there's progress the same day. sometimes I went behind closed doors after a meeting and beat my head on the wall, laughed or cried or both to someone else who had been there, done that too. But on a good day, we all went home feeling better about things and about each other. It was a burnout job tho, and after a few years, it was time to let someone else carry the water for awhile. Few people I know have lasted more than 5 years doing that job, I made it 4.75 yrs myself.

    Sorry I'm not better at the light touch when it comes to 'fronting misinformation, especially when it hurts reputations. I'd gladly do the same for anyone, if knew hurtful misinformation about them was being tossed around carelessly. I know I come across pretty schoolmarmy at times, my bad. The goal for me there is progress, I'm human too.

    They love anger is what binds

    Friend,
    I would encourage you to read over my previous posts dating way back to the beginning of my first posts on my Main Thread and then read over the ones on my Groove and Trip Pad Thread - and lastly read over all the posts of the other Threads.

    I am an open book - always have been and always will be.

    Is it anger you find... or something else?


    An honest heart is a kingdom in itself

    This one is tougher if you find your heart (and entire existence) is fully owned by the One who brought all things into being.

    Honesty on the deepest levels brings you back to this realization.

    Our thoughts are ever changing - our life is evolving from one season to the next - and with each season some of the truer aspects (friends) remain and new aspects (friends) come into being. Over time you learn which ones you can be totally free to say anything to and which ones you can't. But a true friend always remains true - yet you learn to avoid some things as communication becomes more complete.

    Thank you for these sayings; They're Deep and Meaningful.
