Your positive attitude is hard won---I know you're not from Missouri but you might just as well be as you always weight things very carefully and, I might add, astutely.
Well, at least we know your as can tute, right?
I very much like what you're seeing and saying. It helps a lot of us, knowing where your sentiments lie.
As for these dips we're witnessing? This is why I average everything. I never attribute much meaning to one or two days, but three in a row may get my attention. One nice (profitable) week will raise an eyebrow but three weeks spells a near month and begins to speak to me, although gently.
A single month can look pretty but three months grabs my attention and alerts me to the possibility that something may be going on.
