January 14, 2010 – 9:22 pm

January 7, 2010 – 8:48 pm

Those members who are in the Trading Room, and get to converse with me on a daily basis, know that I’m on vacation this week.  For some inexplacable, yet very "happy" reason, I seem to always trade exceptionally well while on vacation.  Needless to say, I’m trading lightly.  Yet, so far, they are all winners (trades with [...]
