This has not been my finest hour. Indeed, if I had decided to sit on my roof (picking at the moss, perhaps?) for the first hour of trading, I would have served myself better, because I gotta tell ya, this action from midnight until about half an hour into the trading day freaked me out.
Good morning (more or less) to everyone. I’ve been up much of the night trying to deal with a fairly severe network issue which has hobbled many of the tools (particularly SlopeCharts) on my beloved site (Substack readers are NOT affected).
