It was Simms who pointed it out but I did suggest that an upside breakout
could be strong. I screwed up the whole thing, first missing the spring
reversal entry at 105950 because I was fiddling with a couple of stocks,
then bailed out of a perfectly good entry around 1073 when it corrected
because I was nervous about another reversal. That's what I meant when I
said 3+ weeks away from trading had ruined my market feel.
