AS I SEE IT: Yesterday I talked about volatility and price reversals, and today was a good example of it. Because I’m a trader I really enjoy days like this when there is a lot of market movement. Today the market shot higher from the opening bell with the E-mini rallying 19.50 points in the first two hours. Then it tipped over and sold off 34.50 points before rallying back and closing 8.50 higher. The Dow had a 266 point range closing up 51.50 points. Gold is trading up 25.30 in the overnight market, and the overnight Oil contract is trading up 3.62 at 98.26. It sure wants to let us see what 100 dollars a barrel looks like.

I hope we have volatility like this into the end of the year and beyond because my trading strategies work very well during these times. The news of the day moves this market quickly so traders sure have to be on their toes to keep up with the momentum. I know all of you that are good stock traders are also having good times trading this market.

I HOPE YOU HAD A GOOD TRADING DAY!

HAVE A GREAT HOLIDAY AND I’LL TALK TO YOU NEXT MONDAY.

There’s no reason you can’t have as much fun trading as I do!
