Tim started writing this blog on March 29, 2005 simply as a personal diary. Over the months and years, readership of this blog has increased to tens of thousands of people every day, even though the blog's purpose - Tim yammering on about charts and the markets - hasn't changed much.

Several things to remember about this blog:

• This isn't investment advice. So don't be calling up your lawyer. I'm just talking about my own views of the market. Got it? Your decisions are your own. I'm just exercising my right to free speech in this great land of ours.
• I am afflicted with the disease Ursinus Perpetuus, which gives me a strong inclination to short stocks and buy puts like nobody's business. Those with a bullish bent may feel discomfort, rage, and - occasionally - envy.
• The "Trade Performance" data in the right column is meant as just a representative sample of the kinds of trades I do. It isn't a complete summation of all my trading, nor is it any kind of verified track record. It is simply a way for me to keep general track as to how some of my ideas have panned out over the course of time.
  
• The comments section is one of the key components of this blog. Keep it lively, but also keep it civil. All views are welcome here, as long as you don't resort to ad hominem attacks (especially against your host), obscenities, advertisements for other sites, or other behavior which strikes me as beneath the noble little corner of the web we've got here.
