Europe has probably not found the ST bottom yet...

.....and so it might be for America. I' m starting to think that the idea of an ST top around the end of month, might be wrong. It is possible that before experiencing a true substained bounce we go 10% lower from here both in America and Europe. In that case my previous expectations would be very wrong. And it is very possible...........trading this market is difficult, but with a good patience, waiting on the sideline, eventually everything clarifies

luckily Europe is holding so that the first scenario of a month end ST top still remains........allelluya

Orrrrrr we could remain in grind mode to up until September when then we see another downturn possibly.....

Btw do you play Padel in Italy along with tennis?

Hi 12spx......no, I don' t play padel, not attracted by it. They have built a padel court at the tennis club and I only stop by for a few minutes when I see the twenty years old girls playing in order to refresh my eyes, because for the rest I remain a tennis addicted. After a long time when I played basically with just one opponent who was a friend of mine since when we were kids, currently I play in another club where there are much tougher opponents and so far I just got to the point of taking one set and leaving to them the second. My phisical form has weakened and I' m slowly recovering, losing weight and running faster. As for the technique, that has always remained, but it may be not enough if you play opponents that are on the court 4 or 5 times a week, while I am just in the week end. However, I was born a tennis player and I hardly see myself doing something else....

Oh ya love it but I discovered one here miraculously.  Great for tuning your volleys though I found for doubles.  Tennis will always be my fave too but its pretty good especially compared to pickleball lol!!!

one of the best memories I have is of a tournament I played when I was close to my thirties. From 12 to 19 I played a lot and I was in a club with many other people so that I had several opponents and was used to change opponent which thing benefited my tennis a lot. Then I took a pause till 26 and then started to play again, but this time with just an opponent who was in the same club I was and who was a friend of mine since the times we were kids. He also came from a long pause so that meeting him after a long time we told each other we could spend a couple of hours in the week end on the tennis court. Obviously playing the same opponent is not a great idea if you want to achieve some kind of results, but you have the advantage that you don' t have to call one or another one because you know that you have a fixed opponent who will be always on the court. So that our lazyness prevailed on anything else. But I liked to partecipate to one tournament in Summer despite I was not trained for heavy matches. So that, close to my thirties, I subscribed to a tournament designed for those with a series C rank, but was opened also to those who had not a national rank, like myself. I went there with no preparation at all and found the second seed who was a C2 a very good rank as there were maybe 500 in the whole country with such a rank. And this unknown that I was, took the first set. As soon as the people watching the other courts came to know that the second seed was a set under, they all reunited on the ramps aside of our court. It became a crowdy match and unfortunately eventually the ''rubber wall'' in front of me who was able to rebate every missile I trew at him, won the second and the third and the match. I paid the lack of a serious training and the phisical form that was not at my own top playing just in the week end. But hey, he was a C2.......and he was close to be thrown out by an unknown, untrained, vagant mine.      

to rebate....to respond to....better

now I' m playing another kind of matches, in front of me the stock market. And there, I' m not the best in town. But being part of the 2% who are able to take money from the stock market without leaving their own to it, is already a success. And hopefully, if no other communist sewer rat comes out with another pandemic or war, my trading revenues should be not that bad..........
