My wife has had similar problems. She keeps getting sinus problems, bronchitis etc. and has used the white vinegar faithfully. What's a neti pot?--Ron

Long story short, you hold your breath and pour a light mix of sterill salt water into your nose on one side, wait about 30 seconds, blow it out the other side, then repeat the process on the other side. It might sound disgusting, but it works and it works really well to clear up sinus & allergy problems.

Since I started doing it, for the first time in my life I breath better then I ever have before.

J was exactly right. Here is a video of a neti pot demonstration.

A few things to remember: 'warm' water means body temperature, use distilled water, adding a pinch of baking soda to the salt makes it more comfortable. When I make up our salt mixture, I use 3 parts fine sea salt to 1 part baking soda. Then I use 1/2 teaspoon of the mixture in each pot of water.

It's easy to get the hang of it. You can get a neti pot at any health store and Amazon has several versions as well.

If you have sinus problems or allergies, the neti pot is a big help!

Leaving the I-Fund and going 100% G

Only 4 TSP trading days left.
Taking profits off the table.
SPX fails to make higher highs.
Dow Jones Transportation total return 20MA rejection
Nasdaq can't close above 200MA
Sometimes it's good to just relax.

Lady,

I have used one since my first nasal surgery in 07 the only thing I get is some continued drainage from trap water in my cavities also do early in the day NOT before bedtime. It is a great relief for sinusitis and allergies

The Neti Pot rocks. I was once a non believer.

Yes I can't believe we are talking about the virtues of a Neti Pot in my thread. :embarrest: But hey it really does help and if others learn from my embarassment, it's a good thing.

I'd say 'your gut' and 'intel' are likely behind that move. Looks like a good day to get out as well.


Well I've got a bunch of things to catch up on


Have a great weekend - everyone !

We got our 1st 15 minute 200 MA rejection, I'd hope we push through for the close but I'm not expecting it.

Maybe it's just me, but I havn't hardly seen anyone post a "green shoots" link over the last 4 days. Are things that dire?

 

[Birchtree]

Here's one. The unemployment rate declined in 21 states in April compared with the month before, while 11 states had no rate change. A month earlier, unemployment rates rose in 46 states.

Lol but how can you increase you're jobless rate when you've run out of jobs to lose? :cheesy:

The days of Mad Max are always just 1 crisis around the corner. Buy gold, guns, ammo, coffee, rice & beans.

Ouch, my Head neck and shoulders bounced off the neckline, made a gap, and filled a previous gap. So now I'm throwing that chart in the trash.

We got another bounce off the 60's 200 SMA, once again support held.


That 880 is one tough nut to crack.

It's still early in the day - the real buying stampede starts this afternoon. The dust cloud is already forming as the bulls circle to take down some bears. Yup, more gaps to fill on the upside - that'll be fun.

 

[JTH]

Part of me wants to believe that Obama will buy stocks today to drive the market up, so that we can finish the month strong, and so that the press will harp on that fact which will sucker in the dumb money.

Another part of me believes today is a fakeout-breakout, and that Monday will be a better buying opportunity.

That descending triangle is spinning the last candlestick.

FYI

The higher high we made today coincides with the previous high from 20 May. This means you can draw a trendline from the 930 high to today's high with 20 May's high touching the trendline.

This means my initial desending triangle was probably drawn too low. I still think it's a desending triangle, but It looks like it will have a longer timeframe, meaning we can bounce around these levels longer than I thought we would.

This market is very difficult to predict for every trader, regardless of savvy or experience. I'm comfortable with my cash position for sure. I'm expecting another reversal on Monday, but it's really an unknown how long we continue moving within this trading range.

Post-whoring post count 999

 

[JTH]

We've known and believed that 943 is a key level for this market. If we can hold 943 then we can test the 1014 38.2% retracement from October 07 Peak.
