FANTASTIC....Dave, this must be after 2am in the morning. What time do you post this at night? This is incredible dedication. I live in Calif. and always read your blog late at night to prepare for the next day when market opens at 6:30am. This officially qualifies for "Super trader hero of the year" status. No words can thank you enough. You are making a huge difference in all of our present and future lives......
