I wasn't kidding when I said I hadn't traded all week. I'm still gun-shy from my devestating losses last month. Even on your bad days you're doing great - I'm hoping some of your mojo rubs off.

No worries. You'll get it back. If anyone here can get it back, it's you.

back to the avg.s again ...of course!Even the 15 min is now around 903. this whole day appears to be some kind of giant triangle or some thing consolidation! When ever it does break its going to travel for quite a ways. COULD BE TODAY, COULD BE TOMORROW. Iguess i wont know for sure till it breaks todays high or low.

a friend sent me this tonight so I thought I'd ask you folks:

"These are for the November options.
Do you have a clue what the catch is?

Sell 94.00 puts 94.00 SWGWP make +$9.48
Short the SPY at $94
Buy 94 calls 94.00 SWGKP pay -$4.73
Net profit $9.48- $4.73= $4.75
This looks like a risk free trade to me.

What's the catch?"

Thanks

Bruce
