Oct 10,2014     As I start writing before 7 a.m.,  Futures are down quite a bit     I Got a funny email, it said,  "With this sell off- When will you know that you're wrong?"  - LOL  Now I assume that the writer just worded that wrong and was really trying to say, "When would you know if this sell off was more than the normal correction that you expected?"  OR   Was that just a  Freudian slip  and the writer is telling me I AM wrong - when are you going to know that ?     Let me put it this way, I am watching closely and the CNBC TOPIC is "Is this more than a normal correction?

Oct 9, 2014     WELL!!!   I thought that I should offer up an idea or two intraday since the color RED is the color of the day . I do NOT want to become a  'BUY & HOLD' or 'WISH & HOPE' kind of trader...I look to see if I can see whats happening and when a trade starts to act in a way that I didnt expect, I have to try my best to numb the "EMOTIONS" and just look at the facts. So I snapped this PIC of an intraday chart ,  the sell off of GDX today.   Its NOT meant to be grasping at straws or "HOPING" I'm right...its just what is happening , What I see right now.   GDX  50 percent      As you can see, GDX and GDXJ have pulled back to very 'RED' for the day - But they are only about 1/2 way into that move off of Lows yesterday, almost a "Test" of the top of a cup.   Read More
