Good to see you, it's been way too long. As I've said to a few other guys, please give me time to get myself back in working order and we'll hit that bejesus out of these commodity trades. My family is in town visiting and will be here through the weekend but next week I'll be starting to increase my time here on the board and try to start presenting my outlook in what I hope will be the easiest way to follow. I've been away a long time and I need some room to get comfortable trading with my own money again. That UVXY call yesterday was a good start but I only played about 25% of what my usual size would have been. So believe me when I say I haven't lost my willingness to make the tough calls or put my money where my mouth but I have to ease back into this so I don't come out the gate making a bunch of dumb calls that result in a bunch of bad beats. I've always respected your opinion and your calls as a trader so I'm sure you can imagine how you'd feel if you were away for eight months and was asked to start making those same calls with the same level of confidence as you did before your absence.

So what I'm asking is for you guys to continue posting as many question as possible about whatever is on your minds and allow me to catch up and provide you guys with GOOD answers and not a hip shoot type response. I'm going to start changing the Ibox and putting more useful info up there so watch for the changes and hopefully that'll give you guys an indication of where I'm going and where I'm at.

Going to be working for a couple of hours getting my platform and stock list set-up. If anyone has particular tickers you want me to add to my list please post them and I give you my word I'll put them into rotation. The good news is I forgot all about my thinkorswim platform and it's still in tact, just the way I left it. The bad news is it contains a lot of tickers I need to get back in the loop and that's going to require some time on my end. Anyway the offer still stands, if you want me to add any of your tickers please post them soon. It just makes it easier for me if I can do as I go and not have to go back and rework list.

Just in case anyone is interested I'm now using Etrade-Pro as my main platform and conduct most of my trades through them. I'm still using TorS and ScottradeElite cause I'm still maintaining accounts with them and honestly I like both for several different reasons. The main reason I made the switch to Etrade-Pro is because I spent so much time on it over the six months or so that I've gotten pretty good using many features most folks don't even know are there. The order entry procedures/program they use in Etrade-Pro is far superior to anything out there IMO so that in itself is what made me switch and start using it as my main order entry point.

I'll also entertain any general questions if I can answer without blowing too much smoke.

I did send out our first round of emails this morning if anyone cares to comment on the quality/content/value or whatever for that matter. I've become a firm believer in sending our loyal readers that something extra for spending time on the board and I think they did a pretty good job of projecting my current outlook. Now I don't intend to do normal board stuff through email, all that can stay the way it is, however I can say from experience it's damn nice to open your email in the morning and being able to read what someone opinion in a clear concise voice. I also included charts for each area but I kept them elementary and are basically nothing more than support/resistance visual aids. Now I may spice them up a bit as we move forward cause I'm a chart guy and my BandB is technical analysis so I just can't not post charts, lol. So for those of you that can't or don't want to read the charts the plain text should be all you really need to understand the message.

Guys it really is good to be back and I'll be here more and more as each day passes. I've still got some personal time on the books for the wife and I but overall you will be seeing more of me like it or not.
