this poll is always wrong...lol Actually timber...it was starting to show some promise if one added up the totals for each and looked at the winner. (Obviously not today though at 12 Bear to 7 Bull but today's poll was queered from the start imo). |

lol! South Beach is so last decade. The best time to go to SoBe is when the hurricane is coming. It clears out and is really really fun.

Rock: Either migraine or cluster. I'm not sure which. The one thing that makes me think cluster is I get them for a few days or a week or so, then they go away for a while. Migraine seems to not have a remission side where they go away for a while... you may not get one for a day or so, but they come back. With a cluster, you may go 3-4 weeks or 2 months without another.
I'm somewhere in between.

Your poll format confused me so much that I voted bull and stayed long.

I used to get Migraines (or clusters) when I was much younger and used to dread them. What I learned to do was identify the symptoms ahead of time - took aspirins before the pain hit and would sit reading a book in a darkened room for an hour or so. Worked for me - managed to avert the episodes and stopped getting them. Only question is - was it just growing older or my self-invented treatment that made them finally go away.

So basically NONE of you have or had the slightest idea what was going to happen. Not even the Bulls. Brosin will chime in here that he said rally. But he did not say this kind of rally. But I guess he came the closest. This is still kinda absurd to me. So Good luck to everyone and I hope the hell you all end up green when the dust settles...

wtf Did I kick someone's dog? 2 callout days in a row? Here's my "chime in" if you want more specifics as to what I thought we'd be up today. Not that I "knew" it or anyone ever knows it, but that's what the poll is...? All I know is I'm expecting a big up day tomorrow, and the lower we start off, the happier I will be. A move from DJI 0 at the open to 200+ by the EOD would be just perfect. |

Then Poll had 6 categories of Bear. I don't consider anything i post as a call out. I just think the market is nuts and no one knows what to do day to day.

Maybe I'm out of tune with this group but I don't make huge changes to my position from day to day - I remain permanently long but will make minor adjustments up and down daily. The only kind of major adjustment I might make would be a switch from long country A to long country B if the tealeaves indicated that I should. |

I don't think you are "out of tune" with the group at all Demanuel. You've proven yourself to be a well-respected contributor imo. Thanks |

Demanuel - you are a welcome contributor. The poll is some fun daily to take a bias read. That's all it can ever be, because we are so varied in how we interpret market actions. Just look at Bros' Stats thread to get an idea.
Now, Bros gets his results for the stats by what you post in your comment, bull, bear, baby bull, baby bear. The poll totals at the top are for reference only. So the real calls are made in the posts, and the poll SHOULD be the summation - however, sometimes there are more poll votes than comments, and sometimes more comments than votes. Point is no one knows how someone voted in the poll at the top in actuality. (You could say Bear but vote Bull)
I've had fun with the poll before like this, but I think I need to be more obvious when I do it. ;D

I just realized that the "Single Web Page" links that I post in the official bull/bear stats thread are not nearly as user friendly as the Excel worksheet I do it on. I will see if there's something I can do to make it easier to navigate.
