Here is the "Weekly Review" video, that will review my investing and trading efforts for the last week, based off of comments in last weeks "Airelon's Market Tactics".

The Blip TV video will be embedded and replace the video when it has finished compiling (it ran into a problem with the conversion this evening). I will post the blip.tv version as soon as the compiling is completed, as I have discovered that German viewers cannot see the YouTube videos. If you are from Germany, this link may work for you ... hopefully ...
Ok ... this is a picture of the "trading sister" account from "Airelon's Market Tactics" from April 10th, to May 15th, 2010 ...
That's right ... flat. New traders have to understand that this will happen. That's the reality of trading. At best. There will also be months, that will not be flat because there will be drawdown. As I mentioned in the above video, there will be weeks, sometimes months where that will happen. It's just that simple. It's why I absolutely, flatly refuse to force trades. If I force trades for the sake of subscribtions, then I'm not portraying the reality of trading. Because this is the growth of "Airelon's Market Tactics" since the launch of the newsletter ...
That's right ... 56.25% What's the old expression? Slow and steady wins the race?

I've got the multi-colored peppers too - I'm a pepper freak. Love 'em! Still have plenty of last years jalapenos in the freezer (yeah, I went a little overboard with them last year) so skipped them this year.
Let's see what else... watermelon, tomato, sugar snap peas, and to make things look pretty some sunflowers. I also planted some moonflowers this weekend. They're like morning glories except they open at night. Big white blooms, and smell nice too. Fun stuff.
You ever had tomato hornworms? I'd heard of them but never saw one until last year. I only had two of them but boy did they do a number on two tomato plants. It was only after the plants were completely defoliated that I spotted the well-camoflaged perpetrators. They were so huge I don't know I could have missed them - by far the biggest caterpillars I have ever seen.
We haven't had a problem with them yet, but I've seen them before ... so I'm keeping an eye out this year.
I counted it up ... it's almost 900 sqr feet his year, in two separate gardens.
Can't wait :)

"hedged here...bought more shares here...that's how you do it"...HAHA!! Great stuff man!!!
My inclination is not towards investing as I seem to be more concerned about my money being "tied up" too much or something (lack of faith in my society most likely). But watching you invest and how you do it gets me interested more and more in "taking nibbles" as you say. I realize now that I think it's healthy for the psychology of an entire society and its economy to invest to some degree or another b/c it instinctively creates mass support (through direct incentives) in the positive growth of its own economy. That may be healthy for a cautious, anti-establishment, skeptic like myself to start doing a bit more. haha!!

"to invest to some degree or another b/c it instinctively creates mass support (through direct incentives) in the positive growth of its own economy."
Perfect way to put it mate. Perfect way to put it.
I understand you other comments in regards to a "lack of faith in the system".
But think about it this way. Holding a share of a stock of cash heavy company, like say ... General Mills (GIS), or holding your cash for trading purposes in a holding company that your brokerage uses for a clearing firm?
Is there really a lot of difference? I mean ... if the system 'folded up'? It's not as if the cash is any less invested 'in the system' than the share of stock.
In fact, some perma-bears like JanJuah (I'm not in the Janjuah camp per se) think the best place to put money, is in shares of public companies that can whether these storms.
Just some things to ponder. As always, just my thoughts, not yours. :)

you know I admit Dan...what you're saying here definitely makes sense. In fact, it's kind of exciting at the thought of getting into investing...it's just so darn optimistic isn't it!! haha!!! A big step for myself and as I say a healthy one. I'll start playing with this whole investing thang more actively I think.
I also know your pov on this occupation (trader/investor) as having any economic value and I think this optimistic argument for investing definitely plays into that effectively too.
Thanks Dan!!
MT :)
You're more than welcome MT
I'm thinking now might be a good time to start saving pennies. There may be a few wonderful 'buy' opportunities this October / November ...
(Just my thoughts of course. :) )
