so much for that dream.
Desert, most boards are very respectful. The spy board started to go downhill as soon as there was a new administration. The lines became blurred btwn trading commentary and politics. Also, it seemed those that agreed with the ideology spoke up and those that saw things differently, kept their mouth shut. I know this because I was contacted by quite a few people that said it was crazy that it was assumed everyone shared their beliefs in religion and politics. However, we all liked sharing views on the market. I personally had a lot of respect for everyone there even the ones I disagreed with.
I hope they can find their way back to the forum sooner than later.

I was hoping yesterdays buy signal would start a change in trend.
Good afternoon master-trader Desert: I see you are looking for another trader to share the mgmt duties with. I think it should be another trader like yourself that has strong TA experience. Just my .02
Glad yer feeling better and that u are keeping a close eye on the board. How can we get NM to come visit us over here? For sure he is one of a kind. Maybe he requires a formal invitation.
duchamp
this little rally feels tenuous.
Desert, the VIX has always been a bit of a mystery. Is it a lagging indicator? The market feels like it wants to swing down to lower support 1033 or 1028, but it also feels like a perfect time to trap the shorts and move higher.
I trade on psychology which is why I need to change strategies soon.
duchamp
desert, hope you feel better soon.
duchamp
Desert, you have found some love and respect here on your new board. Keep up the good work and positive attitude.
duchamp
Desert, are you thinking we can retest 1010?
In the spirit of not looking back, I too have learned my lessons trading. However, every now and then I do something so stupid, and I usually know better before I do the trade, it paralyzes me. My luck is usually such that if I decide to take a loss and move on, that is precisely when the stock goes up.
I really would like to get in sync with trading the q's one of these days.
duchamp
desert, i'm impressed with your quickness. Must be all that fresh air you're getting first thing in the morning.
NM, music to my ears (and I don't mean Prokofiev). Got myself in a real pickle with my longs. Market better rebound soon, or lights out here at the compound.
Have fun today.
duchamp
NM, I was hopin' you wouldn't make me beg for your return.
duchamp
So much for that. Are we looking at a bounce or straight down to 1020?
An overnight printing of 1055. Will that be the LOD?
Glad you stopped by Denmo. Now if we could just get Wrigley and Lula to weigh in on the direction of the markets, maybe we could get a consensus. ha
duchamp
desert, nice job with your new board. I am looking /hoping for a reversal early as well.
duchamp
I thought I needed a subscription.
Thanks for clearing that up.
duchamp
Although I will not be able to post on this board any longer, I do want to thank all of you for the excellent TA throughout the years.
Also, a special thanks to NM for making me laugh every gosh darn morning with your creative writing and humor.
duchamp
This sure is suspensful.
Desert, 2 bit, do u guys trade individual stocks too?
duchamp
Desert, do you think 1090's will be retested before a move higher or lower?
duchamp
Gold sure looks like it is basing for a move higher. Wouldn't be surprised to see it stay flat for the week, but I think the uptrend is in play.
I told my daughter to start buying silver and gold recently, so I hope I am right.
duchamp
Denmo, there are a lot of great people on this board.
duchamp
Great pic of Miss Lula.......she looks quite content and happy.
All the best to you and your new board. Wish I had more TA to offer.
duchamp
Miller, it seems everyone is expecting a drop. That is usually when a change in direction is most violent. I'm just talking from a psychological point of view. Technically, of course, there should and could be more down. I just get the feeling that Wall Street is trying desperately to appear less of a risk these days.
I'm sure I'm wrong, but I sense they don't like all the headlines about the mass exodus from the market.
duchamp
I do pay attention to Hurst cycles, but am not an expert at it. In fact, I have been trying to be less of a day trader this last year and more of a swing trader. I haven't been as successful, but at least have been able to walk away from the market a bit more.
I look forward to your posts. There are some great people on the other board. Maybe they will tire of Archie Bunker too.
duchamp
Desert, do you follow Hurst Cycles?
duchamp
Congratulations Denmo, they are very lucky to have you on board.
duchamp
desert, thanks for posting the pic of Lula. She is beautiful. I'm sorry to hear that you have been dealing with post surgery rehab. Makes it even more special that you spend time with us on this crazy board.
Lula sounds like she was trained in a loving and caring way. It's awesome that she is able to help you as you go through these post surgery challenges.
I look forward to the updated pictures.

ot: Denmo, very sad that some dog owners are giving their pets inferior food.
I never had a pet(wouldn't know where to start), but that sounds like quite the commitment. You can tell he is of a serious mind. How old is he now?
There is a dog food company in England called Pedigree, and one of their recent commercials uses music from my sons band. I guess that's as close as I will come to pet ownership.
Are you in Chicago?
duchamp
Denmo, Wrigley is beautiful, and what a great picture. Wow!
Desert, please don't go. It's really great having another gal around. I would rather there be no politics on the board, but that just won't happen with a few that seem so angry at the world. But if we all use your idea, then it will be an enjoyable forum for all.
Where is the pic of the Labs?
duchamp
DEnmo, in my opinion, it should have been mandatory to buy a car made in the US back when the cash for clunkers program was in effect. From what I understand, the program had a hug impact on the autombile industry, but imagine if all the cars were American made that were bought.
We would live in such a great country if people were tolerant of others that don't share their same political outlook,religion or ethnicity.
Most people are inherently good.
duchamp
I think this board has reached capitulation regarding politics (or not?).
NM, you are sooooo fricken funny.
If Obama was white and Republican, you would be singing his praises. If you knew me, you would know I am hypercritical of Obama........He still has alot to prove, however, given that he was given a bankrupt country to deal with, I am willing to let him do his job.
Sorry Desert!
Duchamp
Desert, put a pic of your puppies on the board tonight. Would love to see them.
duchamp
You are so funny trying to typecast me. If you knew me, you would know how crazy it is the things you say to me on this board.
Few people in my inner circle would believe that I am even an active trader. I will leave it at that.
That being said, you guys all crack me up and I really appreciate all the great contributions to this board.
