A Weekend Note - It's Not Just About Trading

Tweet *****My life if not just about trading .. nor trading about life although the second statement is much more true.  The comment I received on Twitter the other day that I seemed to be on permanent vacation is true in the sense that it's my philosophy. I have always striven to do what I enjoyed so it did not seem like work.  I remember when I was young and having to help clean house, I'd dance while I vacuumed. I turned up the radio, opened all the windows, (I love fresh air) and danced while pushing the vacuum around. Luckily no one complained about the job I did, so I never learned to stop doing chores with windows open, music blasting and .. well you can guess the rest.

In my opinion there are so many fun things to do that we can enjoy that I often find myself thinking what is stated in my profile : "I wish I didn't need sleep".  I don't claim that I have enjoyed every part of everything I've done and I don't expect that I will, but if I find a way to do it which makes it more fun, I will practice it.  Hence, I DJ music on blip.fm  while working because it helps me focus off the stress aspect of watching a trade and not because I've nothing else to do. I also do it while formulating stories or instructions for the next day's trades.

Life can be enjoyed if we accept its rules. One of which is that if you don't feel it, then don't do it because it's not the right choice for you. Without shirking responsibility, this philosophy works for trading and for life because you can select from an abundant number of trades and things to do which make your days much more enjoyable  Look around and soon you may feel the same way as I.  So go, let your solar plexus be your guide and enjoy whatever you do. Have a great weekend!



Happy trading, living and dancing

The Daily Outlook - $SPX $DJI $NDX Elusive Dreams?

Tweet *****It is every person's goal to reach their dreams. If you are not one of them, don't read on. I am, of course, stating the obvious but it's for a reason. We tend to get disappointed when a dream seems so close to reach and then, for one reason or another, it pops, fizzles, or in this case, drops. It is hard to remember that it is most likely only a temporary setback and perhaps for a good reason that we cannot comprehend at the moment it happens to us.  Throughout our lives each one of us can recall many such occurrences  only to see later why the reaching of a dream was delayed or perhaps never attained.

In order to reach our dreams, we have to set a course that takes us from possibility to actuality but outside influences can thwart our goals and we may need to start fresh several times before attaining them. The $SPX today again deflated the idea that we are going to hit a new all time high. Today, it also took over the leader role in the indexes; whether it will be short lived or longer termed, I do not know, but it tends to take the lead at direction changes and it is now the one to watch for as long as it lasts.  Am I dreaming? Maybe so, but only time will let us know if they become elusive or actual again.

The Weekly Outlook - $DJIA $SPX $NDX Boom, Bust or Whimper?

Tweet *****All eyes on the S&P 500  awaiting the breakout but more importantly awaiting the reaction to a new high.  All I can say is it's going to be boom, bust or whimper.

That's not much help, I know, but why add to the drama when we will find out soon enough the result. Just another thought; what if it does not hit a new high at all? Nah, that can't happen, can it?  No matter what,  I'm wishing you all well and good luck.



Happy Trading, Living and Dancing
