anyone else having problems getting the board to open or running very slow this morning? doubled up on es's, bought at 1437.50. avg cost now 1448.50. stop at 1408 for now, risking approx 1/2 of my last closed trade's profits. posted on another board. NYSE 52 wk lows still shrinking. XLF held above it's lows despite all this sub prime end of world worries.

thanks Airedale....and yes to your first question...slow most of the time but periods where it's okay.

May get one more tiny low...but that weekly channel has to hold
Not sure what this possible 5 down is yet on ES.

The no brainer after Uncle Sugar passes out extra sweetness would be to buy...should the market fail to rally we may have to wait for some panic Monday AM.

You will see your profits as soon as 4 pm today. i think the PPT will help by jacking up in late afternoon.

Aire, great second entry, as close to the bottom as one could reasonably expect. I played it a bit cautious Friday as the 6-7 day fld suggested risk to 1420 area on SPX cash. Is this reasonable fld work if it projects a lower low than the 4.5yr low we presume occurred last Fri-Mon?

Even if met, this should not hurt you with your stop lower with a cushion. Also, no cascade down. I'll take the entry around 1420 if we see that Monday AM. Also, mss has this 1420 area as a weekly and monthly pivot. Best.

echo, if cyclic trend has bottomed and now on upside a test or undershoot would both fit.
