I don’t know…the McClellan Oscillator is making lower highs and prices are making higher highs. Also, we are right in the middle of the ambush zone. It’s hard for me not to be bearish here. With that said, it’s hard to fight the other market signals, like the Transportation index: The transportation index is usually [...]

Just sold my old Vizio Plasma on ebay for $350 ($150 + $200 shipping). It’s gonna cost me $155 to ship via UPS ground, then paypal and ebay costs add up to about $30, I think. In total, I’m gonna get about $165 for the damn thing. Talking about a bad investment. I originally bought [...]

SMN is up 5.5%, MOS is down 4.5%, MON is down 5.5%…life is good today. The best thing about my current style of trading is that even if I’m wrong, it doesn’t hurt that much because I don’t have enough shares of anything to cause any major pain. Whereas when I’m trading futures, if I’m [...]

I’m back. The market is pretty boring today. Looks like it wants to break higher, but no go. SMN may be on its way higher, MOS should tank from here, and DUG still wants to hit that 61.8% retracement level. I still think that the YM is finished here due to the bearish divergence, but [...]

Rented a car and drove down to Lake Tahoe yesterday. It took about an hour and change to drive from Reno. I must say, Lake Tahoe was pretty nice. There’s a road that goes alongside the entire lake. Although the lake was blocked by tall trees for a lot of the drive, there were certain [...]

If you mention that you read about this deal from this blog, then we’ll give you [...]

I only lost because I played craps yesterday. Yeah, we walked over to the Siena Hotel and Casino and they didn’t have a poker room there, so I decided to play some craps instead. They had a $3 minimum with 10x odds, which means that you can place $30 on the pass line and put [...]

Went to a bunch of casinos yesterday, just to check them out: El Dorado Silver Legacy Circus Circus Peppermill Atlantis Sands Regency El Dorado and Silver Legacy are actually pretty decent, but still pales in comparison to the Borgata. It’s kinda funny, but I compare every casino that I visit, to the Borgata. It is [...]

Got into town around 2am east coast time, or 11pm west coast time. The ride to the hotel only took about 10-15 mins or so. The best that I can describe Reno is a very dreary looking version of the downtown Vegas area…you know, Freemont street, binions, and the “light show”. This drive into town [...]

Got my new LCD TV yesterday. Watching a little Rounders right now, of course: I was expecting some better quality from this new TV, but I can’t say that I’m overly impressed. It’s really not THAT much better than my old Vizio plasma. Nice, but not WOW. Anyways, I’m keeping a close eye on the [...]

I’ve been watching some BJJ training videos online, just so that I don’t get my ass whopped up in class by the better grapplers. Well, I was pretty excited to go to my class tonight, after watching some Eddie Bravo videos on Youtube. Unfortunately, I got paired up with this 6’2″ tall lanky dude named [...]

So, it looks like we may go up to the 13067 level, which would be the 161.8% retracement level. Not exactly sure though. The problem is, the 127.2% retracement could be in two different places. It could also be here: But I don’t think so, because there was no pause at the 127.2% level. I [...]
