Dang! Look at 'er go!

Yesterday I was thinking that one of these days real soon we might just see ALDW jump up a dollar. Now, with 70 minutes to go, I'm not really expecting that to happen but I'll accept it with great humility. And an empty pocket ready to receive this lovely bounty.

We're ahead on the day by 56 cents currently. I'm nearly flat-lining at the moment with a deficit shown to be about $600. Incredible things happening.

This is what I expected to result from the Citigroup upgrade. It's so nice to find things meeting expectations.

The big question, of course, is this: "But will it hold up at the end of the day?"

I have no answer but I'm confident that this ride ain't over until the fat lady sings. And I'm not inviting any singin' fat ladies over for dinner, either. lol

I'll be more than satisfied if we close at $9. even. That would represent quite a strong upward bias for the week.

Stay tuned as this ride ain't nowhere's done yet. We need to be thinking in terms of points well beyond the next distribution. I'm focusing on what happens between now and June of 2017. It's hardly more than a half year, not long at all.
