You cannot go short GJ, you are making her go up prematurely before I can get enough cheaper longs.
Every time you go short, it goes up! I am ok with up, but first I need some down. So let her go down so we can load up. I have orders down into 204.
If we got that low we would rocket back up to 211 so fast it will make you heart pound.
You cAN play against me Todd but my ratio this month is 99.6% sucessful
trade ratio on 160 RT trades. SO it is very very likely that if you go short
against me you will lose 99.6% of the time.
So you may want to do shorts without SL's ( I dont recommend this as 251 is not far off). of you can hold those shorts and pay interest and hope eventually it comes down. And it may. The trick will be getting out at the bottom and not losing money before she rockets back up.
She has impressed even me at these levels with her supreme bounency,
I have bought at seemingly high level consistantly and sold them for a profit
all week.
I have a friend in from out of town and have been training him on some work I have set up for him. SO I have been trading but not spending any time really on the Computer. I just set it and forget it.
And of course I make more money that way versus sitting here selling myself short.
You must focus on one thing I think. You cannot focs on down and up at the same time. I was never able to do it. You go down with her and she may hurt you, she knows you too well and knows how to take advantage of you and squueze the trigger on your emotions.

I put in a short at 209.30, and another at 208.80 or so....both triggered, and both are losing now. So last night I bought long...and lit a candle, and some incense, and in prayer I apologized for losing the faith (laying prostrate on the floor in front of the candle and incense.)
Can't we EVER go short?? I mean, this thing WILL dip down at some point, won't it? Don't we all WANT it to??
This pair kills me....how fickle. 
Maybe I should take all the signs down with 211 written on them around my house...conflicting intentions.
