Decide




Sorry folks
 I was asked to remove the trading plan from my blog by the individual that sent it. Some of the content was given to that person by another individual who is a great trader but did not want his formula shared with me or the people that follow my blog. I apologize for the inconvenience but I have to respect their wishes, Thanks for understanding.  




We are flashing a little green premarket as oil continues to get crushed. Gold is showing a bit of strength it will be interesting to see if that trend continues. The IBB held up really well yesterday as the markets were taking a bit of a beating. The strength was very impressive, and if it continues it could be the leading index again this year. At some point the USO is going to be to cheap for me to pass up. Maybe one or two more days like yesterdays flush and I will have to start dipping my toe,  

Stocks on my radar this morning

This year, one of the things I would like to accomplish is putting together a group of aspiring and active traders/ investors for monthly informal social gatherings where we can talk about stocks, the markets, trading and investing strategies. Last night was the first meeting and while it was a small group it was really a lot of fun. If you are in Vegas and interested in being part of such a group email me @ Alphawolfvegas66@gmail.com
