ALL the posts I made on the PG and I never was the king of the PG? fuck you all.
that is all.

The High Tight Flag Pattern is all the rage right now.

Naturally I’m a little bit hesitant to [...]

Stocks are knifing higher and I couldn’t be more thrilled. Gave me a chance to finally take some longs off the table and begin to commence operation “short the hell out of shit”. A picture is worth a thousand words so let me just start it off.

First, let’s just take a look at Chart addict’s post on his market thoughts.
