SP 928 today. Not bad in just over a week from 720

954 now
is this too far too fast?
short/ medium term i think it may be.
could be wrong.
30% sh in just over a week.
maybe its too good to be true.
unless something is lurking in background?
probing with a small short.
good luck

SP 977.50 Up 101.50 points today

maybe the fates are going to drag me screaming and shouting?
or should i go quietly?
regards jkd

The thing worth bearing in mind ,is that Autonomy expects to be a big benefactor of the banking fiasco!
A good job somebody is !

One step from governments using their software to read our e-mails

re my above post.
my stop loss is in place, so i shall go quietly.
the loss will reduce my trading cash balance so if it's hit i shall have to make up the deficit by taking a profit on one of my other trades.
unfortunate but winning trades have to pay for the losers.
and yes i do believe in letting my profits run and cutting my losers.
i also believe in not allowing my cash balance in my account to reduce.
my current winners , as yet unbanked , may offset my banked loss as of today, but what of tomorrow?
what if? all those paper profits paying for real losses don't come home to roost?
no thank you, loss today = take profit today to pay for it.
credit and promises of what will or might be are of no value to me.
a loss however great or small has to be paid for. no credit for me thank you.

crikey cm3
you seem to be doing ok here.
glad i only did an interest bet.
i'm still interested. at this moment in time it seems everything is so bullish
and price just has to keep going up.
i'm still short with a calculated stop loss.
could be wrong .i often am, looks like i'm gonna be.
maybe a day or 2 early.
we'll see.
