CONGRATS! ira.

[ira85]

JNUG long next week.

I'll hold my nose, go over to the dark side, and ride that horse I was mistakenly shorting for so long. That should cause him to finally pull-up lame.

In case I can't make a pick next weekend, I'll stay with this erratic, wayward steed. -ira

[blygh]

Nice going ira - DTO long next week (as the Saudis undercut Iranian oil)

Blygh

[Spiderman]

Congrats IRA,
I'll ride FLXN long.
Spiderman

Despite the tendency of my horse to peak midweek and dive on Fridays, I will stay with SBGL long.

[sd]

Congrats Ira!.

For the recent past months and immediate near future, I have chosen to focus more on things other than the market & trading-having to prioritize my time on those things having a higher priority-. For years I spent an inordinate amount of time- after work- focused on the market- trading- and it was not a balanced use of my evening free time-
Over the past year, my wife and I have taken on a large home renovation-performed by ourselves-
Addition, Total roof reframe, new shingles, added insulation-etc....things to hold us over our next 30 years- and the 2-3 hours i would spend after work watching the financial news and looking at charts, or treading forums on websites has gradually been put aside for the more pressing essentials.
And- when not spending those freed hours on the renovation projects, my wife and i have discovered that we enjoy watching a show/series together on Netflix,
with a glass of Cab or Merlot!
I am not altogether gone from the pursuit of trading- it is simply on the back burner for the time being-Will resume that interest at some point in the future in the months ahead.
Good Luck All-
Regards, SD
