It is ideally suited for day traders, but can also be used by long-term investors to improve market timing for entry and exit points.

General Comments or?Valuable Insight
We got stopped out of Goldman yesterday for a .25% loss. GS got hit with spill off selling from the European Banks. I still like? it.
The fairyland express continues with our favorite names and sectors being bought on every dip. IBB,LNG ect.
Short Term View...
Individual stocks look to be an easier read based off their own technical s. The Equity Indices seem stretched at these levels.
Go with the flow. Use the 9/30 closes as your macro pivots. Trade the opening ranges and early time frames.
