Wow, what a day, da-Boyz we’re playing Cat & Mouse with Both the Bulls and Bears and we LIKE IT, LOL!
We expect the Q’s to Close up tomorrow to finish a Nice Monthly Candle and give da-Media at least ONE Freakin bit of Good news to write home about!
Bug Deal, prices will be taking out behind the Woodshed between 01/07Apr and we’ll be dare to extract come of da-Bulls coins as they panic and RUN for da-Nearest-Shelter, LOL!
We usual we’ll be unwinding long trades and taking on CASH as da-Boyz make a RUN for the GAP at 30.82?
