Let me start by saying that today was the best trading day of my life.
It's insane, because two days ago (Monday), that was the best trading day of my life (until today). And then we all know what happened yesterday. Let's not go there again. I had nightmares about nuclear holocaust last night. Swear to God. I only have such nightmares when I've had a really awful day. And, yep, there they were, rewound and ready to play.
I was still really rattled this morning, but as I said, I was ready to "suit up" and get back into things.
Tonight's post is going to be short. I am so behind in everything. Even the simple pleasure of reading newspapers – – I've only read the news through Monday, for God's sake. Three days worth of the Journal and Times are staring at me. Not to mention the eight billion other things I've got to do (or want to do).
But my general theme is this…………and take it as you want……….take it as a contrary signal; take it as the sign the bottom has been solidly reached; take it as a sign I'm letting today's profits go to my head. But here it is: after looking at my positions, I have never been more optimistic about the profits ahead of me. I have never been more sure that my charts are going to collapse. And I've never been more comfortable holding onto my positions so that my big gains get positive gigantic.
There, I said it. History will make me a fool or a hero (to myself, anyway). We'll see.
So here's a smattering of charts. Just a few favorites. It'll be interesting to come back to this post in the weeks and months ahead and click on the Original/Present tab to see what happened after today.
As for the title of today's post – I simply think it's funny that last week, we went down (Monday), Up HUGE (Tuesday), and then down (Wednesday). This week is a virtual carbon copy.
I've gotta go clean the kitchen. Honest. Good night.
