Good Evening, The negative stuff continues to come. Today it was something about Maxine Waters and regulating banks that took us down. You can read about that in the link below. Everyone including myself is convinced that this market should be rallying given the season, strong economy and record unemployment. However, the current situation is that what we think and what the market is doing are two different things. There are a lot of warning signs flashing but the underlying fundamentals remain strong. This is one of the more difficult markets that I have negotiated in several years. As I said last night, I have decided to let the charts have the final say. If we get another sell signal then I will sell. You hate to sell at a low point like this and hopefully we won’t, but sometimes you just have move to safety when things become too volatile no matter how good the fundamentals are. With God’s grace I have always managed to make money in the end and I’m sure this instance will be no different. Howbeit, we may end up sitting this one out before we get back to turning a profit. We’ll see how it goes!
