Traders of the Caribbean

I was thinking that as well. I have to watch it today and tomorrow and see how it swings.

I've got to admit, I may be out of my depth with a few of these plays.

I've been comparing some of these to skiing. Now I'm a decent skier, but I will openly confess I don't have the chops for many mogul slopes, or tight icy runs in upstate NY.

Honestly, I prefer more leisurely runs, wider trails and powder, and don't personally enjoy the adrenaline of too much danger to life and limb. Others live for those moments, and will go offtrail to ski double diamond glacial ravines where there are no patrols, and your remains may not be found until the spring thaw. To each their own, and I think the better part of valor is knowing your comfort level, and not pushing those boundaries.. Otherwise you may be so tense thinking of the dangers you may not think clearly.

Momentum plays definitely require a certain skill level. Not only should you have a deep comfort with risk, you probably should enjoy the thrill and adrenaline rush of the rapid changes.

If you find yourself feeling queasy just watching the level twos, worried when the bottom could fall out, there's nothing wrong with passing on the ride.

As it is, most penny plays are the equivalent of black diamond skiing. Why compound the danger even more by skiing the mogul trail on the edge of the cliff?

Just a thought on this icy morning.
