First practice trade in quite a while...

I've been really busy with home upgrade projects since the return from our long bike trip and have been away from the markets. I should revise that by saying that I have had the charts up a few times over the past month but haven't made any practice trades at all. That ended this afternoon. I spent about 30 minutes measuring and getting a feel for movement again after my long hiatus. Then, I saw this extreme move up and decided to short at the high point. Good idea. With up to 60 cents available to me on this down move, I was out far too soon (as you can see from the chart) but my instincts for direction changes are still pretty good and for that I am happy.

Been a Long Time

Where I was during my absence...

Mrs Bluecollar decided to go on a trip with her niece so I decided to live out a dream... one of those "bucket list" items. I flew to Vegas, rented a big Harley, then set out for the monuments and canyons of the southwest! Hoover Dam, Arizona Desert in 105 degree temps, Grand Canyon, Route 89A from Flagstaff to Sedona, crossing Navajo Nation to Monument Valley, Fry Canyon and Glen Canyon, the mighty Colorado River, Bryce Canyon, and the list goes on. Over 1300 miles alone with a map and an awesome bike.

It really was a dream come true.
