It’s been a while since I’ve done a full post. Part of this may feel obvious since I’ve been notably bearish for just about a year now and being a bear has sucked big time since October, with some slight relief in December, and then again sucked big time in January. The other part of this may not be as obvious as I have other issues outside of just the market moving against me (i.e., a life outside trading). As such, that part of my life required attention.

As most of you know, we had some severe downtime today. At about 10:50 a.m. PST, our server load went from a normal 2% up to 80%, which basically brings everything to its knees. Our database load was 486% (no, I don’t know how that’s possible either, but it’s bad). Ironically, this all took place on one of the best “down” days we’ve had in months!
