Trade Journal for Dummies(Update)!
DAILY COMMENTS
Wowza… we got a close actually sightly higher then the 4cast and we expect No Relief for da-Shorts into Wednesday as da-Boyz put a can of “WhipAss” on dem Bears! I understand dis is Pay-Back-Time and da-Boyz wrealee, wrealee, wrealee like Pay-Back-Time, LOL!
We expect prices to GAP and HOLD as da-Boyz go into distribution mode and tease da-Shorts ALL day with prices Creeping higher into the Close?
Since we expect ZERO action below the OE Pivot, 29.18, we’ve already written the Apr28 puts off as worthless!
