    Back on the road to NC now. I only have the EDGE network instead of G3 so I don’t feel comfortable trading scalps with slow response still, it’s amazing being able to communicate like this.

    A big week ahead with
    Intel (INTC) results coming out tomorrow evening,
    JP Morgan (JPM) on Wednesday,
    then Citi (C), Goldman (GS), and IBM (IBM) On Thursday.
    Bank of America (BAC) and GE (GE) on Friday.

    We’ll basically understand the state of half the US economy by Saturday. :mrgreen:

    which basically puts me on track for a return next monday :D
    now you understand why I gave in? ;)

    Yes, I see now K. All these earnings need to do is beat expectations, I.e., just be bad, not terrible, and that will add propellent to the market.

    I don’t have the chat handy on the iPhone but the weekly has not gotten to that upper trendline on the weekly. Until then the trend remains up in my playbook.

    Ha, it doesn’t take long to withdraw. I go nutz if it is a whole day and I can’t at least look At what’s going on. Seeing a chart helps too.

    Very nice of you to offer assistance.

    My brother-in-law and I are looking for solar companies to “invest” in. We were very impressed and pumped about alternative energies after attending the show. Some of the panels used were incredible in strength, output, cost and aesthetics. There were many seminars explaining the technology and use.

    The price for this technology has dropped 30% from last year and that should continue improving. Solar hot water heating is the quickest and cheapest way to begin getting involved. It also has a very quick payback.

    The one solar ETF is Claymore/MAC Global Solar Energy Index ETF. Then there are the individual companies like BP.

    Matt: I’m wondering why http://fms.treas.gov/mts/index.html is late on Sept…Any guess?

    I too am rooting for benign, but for right now I am just rooting for begone. I didn’t have internet today so I didn’t respond to your offer. I think I am OK with what I know so for. The MRI report said there was a large mass pressuring the nerve between L4 and L5, indicated it might be a cyst. Who knows. Doc said it measured about an inch, that doesn’t sound that large to me. I guess I’ll just wait and see what the surgeon says and take it one day at time. Thanks for the offer BTW, and thanks to everyone else for their concern.

    Manuelstop,

    Their fiscal year ends in September, so maybe they are still working on some year-end things like the note on that page says.
