Although even in my remote island hideout, I'm better suited than the normal trader (two laptops, high-speed Internet) I still feel relatively "crippled" since I done have my absurdly big 30" display, a third monitor, my natural keyboard, and all the other comforts of the regular work environment. Most of all, I don't have time, and that might be a good thing. I don't have an opportunity to screw things up!
Today has been really strong so far. The "dispositions" I mentioned in my last post are all going my way. Oil is down (and DUG up), gold and silver are doing great, and equities are definitely on the weak side.
The only big roadblock I have is that Principal Financial Group, where unfortunately I am forced to trade my IRA, has been down for days. Theirs is, in my experience, the worst web site for trading I have ever had to endure, but being completely down is a whole other level of awfulness. At least my stops are in place, but I wouldn't mind having access so, I dunno, I could update my stops!
I was bugged to see this letter threatening a fellow blogger. If you want to get involved to help Mike Morgan, check out his web site. I guess anyone working at Goldman has Paulson-on-the-brain and figures they can just run over anyone that doesn't line their pockets with more cash.
