“None are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm.”
Author: Henry David Thoreau
AS I SEE IT: The market lost ground today on a drop in durable goods orders and a worsening outlook for bank profits. By mid-day the market was trading at the low when it turned up sharply on a news item only to sell all the way back down into the close.
We are approaching the window dressing time of the month again so I will expect volatility to continue. The E-mini S&P prices move quickly in this market so traders sure have to be on their toes to trade it, but the volatility gives us a higher percentage of profitable trades.
I HOPE YOU MADE MONEY TODAY!
Have as much fun trading as I do!
