ravun, does the Chinese government's call for a new global
reserve currency have any impact on gold? I haven't seen any
speculation to that effect, but gold's reversal yesterday seems to
correlate with the timing of the news stories about the Chinese
proposal. Any thoughts?
I don't have an answer to your question, which is a good one,
except to answer with another question. I have been trading UCO. Is
there any reason to prefer DXO over UCO, or vice-versa?
I picked up some FAS and UYG yesterday (oops) and some more
today (fortunately at the lows, at least so far). I'm also thinking
that we are getting close to a short-term bottom in some of the
financials (though JPM broke a triple bottom this morning), but I'm
prepared to accept another downdraft if it happens. FAS and UYG are
in IRAs, so no margin issue there.
It's easy to be so glib, but he gave up a big position at Boeing
to come to Ford, and has done a good job repositioning the
company for survival. if not future growth. jmho.
Is anyone using Fidelity ActiveTraderPro who can advise me
on how they adapted the parameters for the mechanical trading
system to ATP's limitations? tia.
Matt, nice call on HGSI today. It moved up again on strong
volume, and is also trading up AH on good volume.
ThinkEquity did a hatchet job on it recently, but it's been moving
up ever since, and had some good news on the Gov't stockpiling its
anthrax vaccine. I may add some more to my existing position
depending on how it looks in the next few days.
They were not pardoned. Their sentences were commuted. Big
difference, as they are still considered guilty of the crimes with
which they were charged. The guy they shot was a drug smuggler, not
just an illegal alien.And they were Border patrol, not Immigration,
just for the record. But you got one part right -- there were 2 of
them, lol.

Matt, the dynamic chart shows the 60 period stochastics on the SPX well over 20 yesterday afternoon. Am I misreading it?
