Trade Journal for Dummies(Before da-Bell)!

Wow, we're gonna be Waaaayyyy Offf, well, AGAIN, LOL! We're gonna GAP down instead of Up! As is true to dare nature, 4cast, TA, Charts, Fibs & Lies are just dat, a Road to da-Poor-House, oh boy, sighhh!!

That said, we feel quite fortunate to get an opportunity to RE-Load the Long plays on the GAP down and like to take a moment to give a Shout-Out to da-Boyz for their Awesome ability to, well, Paint Pictures of Armageddon while configuring for a Break-Out of meaning, THANKS BOYZ!

The 4cast has changed slightly but more up is on the agenda for today with New YTD High being part of da-Boyz Full_Court_Jester_Mode festiv-a-tees, Sweeet!

Date Open High Low Close
3-Apr 32.11 32.40 31.83 32.35
6-Apr 31.97 32.24 31.68 32.27
4cast
7-Apr 31.89 32.62 31.23 31.45

We be buying calls and selling puts on this mornings weakness and we LIKE IT!

Posted last nite with the "Update" post:
It day’s like today that jeopardize da-Game as da-Boyz “Manipulate” prices in such an Obvious manner that even the Ignore-a-muses figure it OUT, LOL! I’ve spent mucho time and effort rat-ing da-Boyz out and today they help me case, oh boy, sighhh!!

We expect more Up-age and more Pain for the Shorts as they get to the point of no return, OUCH! The good news is there are people who can help-em cope if they can get out of bed and make the appointment, otherwise it’ll take intervention to bring-em back from the “Insane-a-tee” of, you guessed it, da-Boyz wrath, LOLOLOLOL!

Should be an ALL Green day, across the board tomorrow, as we prepare the shock absorbers for the Alcoa earnings after da-Bell!?
