Hi Carl.

Nice entry. Would /ES reach 1102 today?

Thanks.

thanks

Carl, May I answer that?
Cause you don't want to be LEFT BEHIND!!!

Well, no offense, but when it is followed by:
"Wednesday, October 21, 2009
sold one unit at 1092.00"
I don't think it's great.
I've been following Carl for quite some time, and he's EXTREMELY good at seeing where the market is going, but it seems like it's not as good when it comes to actually trading it.
Am I missing something?

Pej,

Yes, you are missing something. Just look at his return for 08 and 09.

None taken! Let's try again, ok?
You know you can board the train for Chicago sometime between 3:00 and 3:30pm because it is scheduled to depart the station at 3:40pm but when you arrive the train has already pulled away from the gate. Do you say whoops and wave good-bye to the passengers aboard or run and jump on before it gets to far away because you need to be in Chicago?

It appears that because of Carl's solid track record of uncanny accuracy in calling the market, we are expecting all of his trades to be just as perfect.

Trading is a marathon. The important thing is to stay in the race without a blowout. Sprinters get overconfident and pull their hamstrings.

If you have been following Carl for a long time, then you should know of this post.
