I was able to take a couple hours to watch the markets, and found a couple opportunities to paper-trade. Four trades, three for winners. All four long on SKF. I'd really like to stay in for the closing but there is simply too much to do outside the stock market. My day-job appointment postponed until Friday leaving the day available for projects/chores here at home. Life requires balance and today, my bro-in-law and I are preparing a bigger herb and vegetable garden for Mrs. Blue Collar. Also on the list: replacing burned out flourescent lights in the garage so the old ones can go to the upcoming annual recycling day in my town, lawn tractor fluids and filters, thinning the "forest" around my house with the chain saw before the truly hot weather rolls in, lawn treatments, etc... The list is too long to go on. Here's the rub: if I could make decent money trading, I could pay people to do most of what I must do myself! To make decent money, I must practice the craft of trading. But I can't spend all my time practice-trading because I must do the projects!
Maybe I can squeeze in some time to wash and wax my Harley, Ha! That would be the only fun thing on the list.
I'm happy for my gain today, small as it is.

3 for 4 winners, 75% success rate. Gain of 38 cents.
