At least EWI is off the third wave has started now mantra and is forecasting alternatives. I hope Hochberg learned something from the last few weeks - I know I did.

Finally finished with a few pics on the blog. Going to damage some brain cells and watch a little boob tube. See you guys in the morning.

@McHappy

Says DAN:

"On opening today the CPC spiked down to .44 such was the conviction that the bullish-looking triangle created yesterday was going to break big upside. But it didn't. Everyone is waiting for that final upside (or if your really bullish, waiting for big upside). Sometimes we have a habit of pushing for that last squiggle wave that never comes (up or down). I am usually guilty."

CV often makes the same error... The only difference is that I make the error on the BOTTOM END of the waves...

I've been skeptical of this major rocket blast up for the past week now (and have spent many electrons expressing that thought)...

Since January, the money to be made is in the middle MEAT of larger waves (not way out nibbling at the bones and waiting for blowouts and extensions)...

Of course, that may change... And I'm actually slightly positive for 2010... But I've sure missed the chance of making a lot of money this year because I was either TOO PICKY at the ends, or TOO CONSERVATIVE at the middle...

Make no mistake about it...

1065 is the EPICENTER of this whole ordeal right now...

1065-55 = 1010

1065+55 = 1120

That's the only rubber band that's PAYING right now...

Macro economic data is WTE and yet the market keeps edging higher on little volume. Enough to make one sit tight and wait before pulling the trigger on shorts. Bah humbug.

Thanks, fellas, for the post and comments.. every day seems to be more exhausting than the preceding. I just noticed this marketwatch headline: Symantec shares down 8% late after security-software maker's forecast disappoints
