    So it appears that I suck at this swing stuff, lol. I hit my targets on my September shorts so I am all cash again. I'm supposed to be building a bigger short position, but (to my mind at least) I should be doing this on pops bigger than we have been getting, so no position now. :mad:

    Man can you believe I paid $10 for a pound of ground beef today. I had to ask myself, is this Kobe beef or something?

    Ok. I entered long position #1 at SPX 3008 today. I don't care if it goes up or not. But, if it collapses more, I shall enter lot #2. I expect the SPX to minimally go up to 3050 at some point. I mentioned I had exited totally at SPX 3050 a while back because I expected this retrace. So, stay in the game--but wisely!!!

    Smart move, I was just telling my wife... that was the play. I had 3009, but I really should have bought some short term longs there. No doubt, hopefully I’ll see the bigger picture faster and sooner like you before long.

    You guys are brave going long right now, especially at these levels. What is your time frame?

    Midwest and I realized the pre-made patties are a 100% markup for 80/20. Straight ground is $4.85/lb. flipping crazy when you do online ordering of groceries. Apparently the person either didn’t realize it was straight ground on the order or they were out so they got the pre made patties.

    Maybe you are ordering from the wrong store. $10 lb should buy steak, not hamburger.

    Congrats on the win. If I'd known your september short positions were only 2-3% drops, I might not have "argued" with you earlier lol
