I'm not going to be that prolific a blogger for the next day or two. I'm very busy getting ready. Once I am fully "in position", I'll crank up the volume of my posts. In the meantime, I need to turn my attention to charting and my spreadsheet (side note: Google Docs sucks; don't bother; I'm going back to Excel).
I'll say one thing: I don't think I've ever wanted the market to rise as badly as I do right now.
