while i love the idea of blue skies, it just a metaphor, and i don't believe in such things. there are just too many obstacles in life itself. more to the point, because i don't believe in exactitudes, i always adjust the break to a point above not below a looming high. the .0032 on the cup was as good as the recent .0033 high. i thus suspect this will not break out until the bid is over .0033.
of course i can't speak for anyone else, but my aim is not to maximize anything other to ensure the safety of my positions. i believe it is better to take less than it is to take nothing. then, too, there's the fact that as time as passed, and life has not been easy for my family -- many medical issues -- i work with a lot less money and margin than i did in the past. other than fighting my depression, i 'd been the sole healthy member among the brothers. we are four and i am the original (not the oldest.) but...
in late December, after 70 years living on the correct side of the House of Hellth -- there's a reason for that spelling -- i went to sleep on a Saturday and opened my eyes on Tuesday. I was in the neurological ICU where they'd discovered a large brain mass that triggered a localized seizure. i had brain surgery at the end of this January. they opened my head, it was prolly empty but for the mass, pulled back the flap, took the bone out from above my eyebrows, and drilled down to remove the mass. arterwards, with all the stitches and staple across my forehead, and down the side of my face, my friends called me zipperhead. but its all good. my father died at 55, his father at 53, and my mothers father at 60. i, however have lived longer than any of the men of my family. and i've learned you can't take anything for granted. and that most certainly includes playing the pennies; its a dangerous and rigged game -- did you know that legend has it the MM Virt, he's an aggressive algol playing ECN, has had but one losing day since 2018? but hey, what's life without its up and downs?
any the how, sorry about being so long winded.its been quite awhile since i wrote anything at all. and my fingers, just like my charts, couldn't help but tell a story.
