At the risk of sounding insufferably whiney, I'm getting really sick of this market.

Up 300. Down 300. Up 200. Down 200. Trend up. Trend down. Spike up. Spike down.

It is virtually impossible for anyone, bulls or bears, to make any profits in this kind of environment unless they are the most adept day trader on the planet!

As I said in the comments section, I feel I should be indicted for money laundering, since the same truckload of cash has gone in and out of my account. One day, huge profits. Next day, they leave the door. Next day, they come back in. Next day, they exit again.

Can we have a trend, please? Even for just a week? Please?

I have an ungodly full agenda for, errr, the next 14 days. I won't do any kind of post until Saturday, at the earliest. I'm heading up to the SF Money Show now. Look for me. I'll be the one with the steam coming out of my ears.
