The Error of My Ways

By -

The Christmas season is a favorite of mine, and, since I love to sing, Christmas carols are a big part of that. But tonight I hang my head in shame…………for, lo, these many years, I have been singing of the "four calling birds" (from The Twelve Days of Christmas song).

Wrong! They are "colly birds"! (Apparently "colly" is just a way of saying they are black as coal). I daresay 99% of the good folks attempting to sing this favorite holiday tune have been "calling" all these years, as I was; so now we Slopers have something else to be smug about, now that we've finally got it right.

That’s Enough for Now

I've done like eight posts already. That's enough for God and country. Here's the whirlwind tour of my trading mind:

  • Long-Term (earlyish 2009 forward) – mega-bearish
  • Medium-Term (next couple of months) – bullish
  • Short-Term (minutes/hours/day or two) – bearish

I can think and trade in multiple timeframes; perhaps this is confused with non-commitment. It's not. It's simply safer and, usually, more profitable.

See you in the morning. Talk amongst yourselves.
