I picked a bad month (June) to give up chocolate...

Maybe I will have better luck in July... I hate being a stress eater, the Navy hates fat people...
 
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG, cough cough.... I need a drink...


Sorry, had to get that out of my system and everyone around me would NOT have appreciated me actually doing that...
 
I have found that bourbon helps with those coughs after screaming like that....but I have 2 daughters so my reasons for drinking bourbon involve way more frustration than market news
 
I too, have two daughters... yes, bourbon, a very dry Beefeater Martini, or several beers will do the trick. Where can I get that shirt?
 
Well, THAT was a painful day...

Do we even know why? Its not like China was a surprise, its been going down for weeks... Greece, it should have been good news... The Iran talks are going Iran's way, so not that...

Did the Chinese cyber attack on the NYSE cause this, or is this just typical Institutional Selling so they can take out our stops and buy up all those cheap shares??? ;swear

It was because of my entry on Tuesday. You will notice that yesterday's selloff really started on Tuesday but it reversed right after my IFT so I could buy in high at the end of the day and enjoy yesterdays loss for a double whammy. So now I suspect it will keep going down until I get out. At that point it will rally to the end of the month because the FRTIB, in their infinite wisdom, has limited me to two IFTs a month so I can't recoup my losses until the rally is over. Thank you sir, may I have another.

Hey just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you. :mad:
 
Summertime whipsaw and market kneejerk reactions to just about anything. Along with the media. Debating adding today, riding with only 30% I C & S 10% each. Actually held a higher low yesterday on many. Trying to find a form of common sense? Forget it. If I were going solely by technical I'm looking for a short term recovery. 5 minutes from now? Tomorrow?
