To All,

Well I messed up our current trade.

We reversed our short and went long 1/21 as opposed to 1/25 for a 40+ point
difference.  Darn, I hate it when I screw up and it costs me money.  My
brother modified our trading rules that we use for executing trades against
our Intermediate Term Signal.

Now, to give him the proper credit here, he actually improved our trading
results when tested against the last three years.  Unfortunately, I didn't
check it and just went along with his analysis.

Now, I could beg off and say that I was busy, but I won't, other than to say
that my not checking his analysis cost us a bunch of money this past week.
A mega bunch!

Normally we check each other's work just to make sure we haven't made stupid
mistakes.  I had 3 months to review it and just never got around to it with
the holidays and a 9 year old.  My fault.  A good thing, we work well
together.  A better thing is that we live 300 miles apart. :)  Not the first
time I've screwed up and I have to admit that he's done his share as well.
Hopefully, we learned from our mistakes.  Good thing we're brothers.

Guy
