					<description>Wayne,

This is the &quot;real&quot; list for two-fisted traders not for the Red Carpet crowd.  Can you get me Jennifer Aniston's autograph ?</description>

How sexist of you.

You mean this is not the 'A' List?</description>

					<description>BFF Wayne,

That Q's made a NH (for the March rally) yesterday morning &amp;#38; then AGAIN later yesterday afternoon was a good sign. Thought that bodes well for later Tues/Weds thru end of month. On schedule.</description>

					<description>Babak,

That you have access to MarketTells &amp;#38; DSI is a sign that you are not hampered by cheapness like many of us are including myself (more so in the past than present).

Seriously, i think many men, more so than women, are not more successful because of obsessive cheapness: 
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cnbc.com/id/15840232?video=1264242319&amp;#38;play=1&quot;&gt;'In Cheap We Trust'&lt;/a&gt; by Lauren Weber 

I have thought about this subject much in the past several yrs because two of the people that i know best are spendthrifts who &quot;know the price of everything but the value of nothing&quot;.  The person described in the CNBC video above is similar to the two people that i know.

I am fearful that we may lose &quot;our&quot; Wayne now that he has been discovered by Capt. Kirk &amp;#38; is &quot;A&quot; list material.  And then i won't be able to pull on his chain from time to time.

Wayne, 

Think yesterday was just a hiccup.  We have a belch ahead of us at the end of the month &amp;#38; a barf in mid-Oct.  Think that it was Edson Gould who had &quot;three steps &amp;#38; a stumble&quot;.  And now i have hiccup, belch &amp;#38; barf.

Back to the grindstone for now...Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn, and caldron bubble. Later.</description>

					<description>Dave/Babak
I was short Monday on very weak Monday after September expiration and Monday after Triple witching stats.  Glad to get back to flat before I got hurt.  Recall that we have discussed &quot;If market trend defies seasonal trend, go with market trend&quot;. Probably, applies here as well.   

I hope daily model will let me get long soon, but will give it another day or to make sure post expiration pullback is over, and this 3rd week in Sept is historically so weak as well.   I historically sit out about 25-35% of days.  I would rather be out and wishing I was in, than to be in and wishing I was out.  Will spend tomorrow playing with numbers.  

I have struggled for 20 years to get the right balance between reliance on daily and intermediate signals for trading.   The answer lies somewhere in relying more heavily on which one you are better at, but that seems to vary from year to year. 

Dave, u are adding to longs?  Have you given up on looking for pullback?

Will be interesting to see if we can post the 5% Sept that led to those gaudy 4th quarters that we circuitously posted Friday.  (If nothing else, I at least expanded my vocabulary today.)</description>

					<description>Dave, 

previous comments were meant to make fun of myself for not what the hell circuitous meant.

Went flat on the close, 

Research right now is into reverse thrust signals.</description>

					<description>Wayne,

There you go being defensive again.  Speaking of, what a great play Ray Lewis made yesterday,

You could invent the square wheel.  

I added to longs this morning.  Q's already went to a NH for the rally.  I'll be lightening up on leaders &amp;#38; buying laggards.</description>

					<description>&quot;circuitous&quot;, 

Like Muhammad Ali once said referring to an adjective he was unfamiliar with, used by Howard Cosell to describe him, &quot;If that's a good thing, then I'm that too&quot;. 

But seriously, very hard to come up with completely original stuff.  Kudos to those who do.  Most of us, get our inspiration from somewhere else and just need to make sure and give appropriate credit.  

Even Isaac Newton once said, &quot;If I have seen further than others, it is because I have stood on the shoulders of giants&quot;. 

(not intending to be presumptuous enough to compare any of our work to Ali or Newton)

Dave, 12:20 eastern, still in short position,  Fixing to start studying Tuesday.</description>

					<description>Kirk now has &quot;When Sept Flexes...&quot; on his Twitter which is kind of funny &amp;#38; somewhat circuitous since my posting of his link originally led to Wayne's post.

It reminds me of a cartoon of two little boys in a playground in Beverly Hills.  The first kid says to the second kid &quot;My old man can beat your old man.&quot;
