Wow

Now that is just nuts.
I came back from my walk at around 3pm and I see the market on fire. Even though I knew the fed news was coming out, my first reaction on something like that is “they caught Bin Laden.”
QQQQ 1-min chart
Losing money is the worst, but watching the Nasdaq close up 62 points - and not riding it for a penny - is definitely a close second. The reason I was in “light trading mode” was because the risk was too high today. The market is always very choppy when the news comes out at 2:15.
Shorts got killed today. I hope some of you were able to ride that wave (tsunami) up. It looks like a bullish follow-through day on the long term charts. Man, now I don’t want to go on vacation.
