Pretty good day of trading, one boneheaded trade and some regular old trades. I never really got on the trading in the afternoon, even though the general trend was up. The price action was choppy and I was too hesitant to just jump in and ride the upward trend. I can be a real chicken sometimes.

But then Ben got on the blower and said not to worry, things are just fine, end of recession. I’m wondering if all of those people out of work were thinking the same thing. I doubt it.
