N S L !!!!!



Good morning folks,
NSL stands for "Never Stop Learning" I am not referring to NSL the symbol.

This weekend I studied candles and I found the videos worth while. I know there are far more candle setups and meanings out there. It's my opinion that you really only need two or three that you can identify quickly and execute on to be successful. Keep in mind that there are other things to consider like trends, support and resistance, market sentiment, volume. Its still good to have a few additional tools under your belt.  

Oil is falling premarket and we are getting quite a bit of guidance both good and bad this morning from a broad spectrum of companies. 

Indexes had a little reversal premarket airlines taking a hit with falling oil prices off of some pr from AAL.  I mentioned they IYT and the SMH weren't looking all that great in this weeks video. Be careful out there it could be a wild day!!
