Hi real traders,

as many of you know i ("gary in hawaii") was kicked off real traders a month
or so ago, then recently spent $2 and snuck back on.
*  to trading:  the oex and s+p made a picture perfect bear flag/channel
-  NO need for expensive seminars
-  NO need for the latest overpriced system
-  NO need for natures pulse, what the heck is that, a vitamin?
-  NO need for hotlines
-  Just spend a few bucks on some basic daily charts with stochastics
and WAIT for ideal set-ups like this
YEARS  of experience watching prices and charts told me the market was going
to sell off big a while back and again now.  So i posted "NOT hindsight"
posts, remember?  How can you lose?  notice the "picture perfect" bear
flag/channel
on the daily charts of dow, snp, ndq and near overbought stochastics.  we
just "walked the plank" for the last 4-5 weeks, it's time to take a
dive.....
if you were a "day-type-trader" you would of shorted today/yes't as we BROKE
the bottom uptrend of this flag/channel, and the only question you would
have is "where do i get out", "how much do i want to make".
Bottom Line:  Stick to BASIC charts and common sense, and WAIT for ideal
set-ups and you will always make money.  There are NO secrets, it's all a
battle of yourself against yourself.  I stated this weekend i was taking the
"rent money",
literally, and buying a 505 oex put, NOT hindsight, on my private group
post.
well, i did, because after watching prices and charts for years i knew it
was going to happen........for MANY reasons.....trans, etc,etc,etc.
so do i get out today/tomorrow or this coming black monday....
daily stochastics still have room down......thank you nikkei
too.....bla.bla.bla, etc,etc,etc....
again, refer to my "NO" list up above.
this is my final post, why haven't i been kicked off?
anyway, if you want to be added to my private group where i send you my
comments/observations on the markets for FREE, just e-mail me with a "yes"
at
charlie@xxxxxxxxxx
have a nice life "real-traders"......
