Cobra, may be i am getting too paranoid here. But do you think there could be a way these polls (not just here, anywhere), could be either a) worded or b) created in such a way that folks taking the poll can easily distinguish between, WANT and BELIEVE. I mean, if 90% say answer "low was not in" and yet only 10% of that group believes that low will be tested as the rest want it because of variety of reasons including holding a trapped short position, then the picture that we get is not 100% accurate.Cobra wrote:Hey, ladies and buys, let's vote again: Was the Oct 4 low the low for the October?

As i said, i may be taking this poll thing too far. But since you are always open to suggestions and you yourself play around with such things and tweak them a lot, i thot of putting it forth. If others have any ideas around it, please chime in.
Btw, wheres uempel. Hez missing from all the action, hope hez doing well.
Thanks for asking Jason, very thoughtful. I guess you know that trading can be quite stressful. Doesn't improve trading results when red lights are flashing. I then tend to drive up to a mountain hideaway which we built a few years ago. No internet access up there, sole activities are chopping wood for the stove, clipping trees, cooking and reading. And of course sleeping - I manage to sleep 12 hours a night up there, back in the city it's 5 or 6.jason_70 wrote:Cobra wrote:Hey, ladies and buys, let's vote again: Was the Oct 4 low the low for the October?

Cobra also needs a mountain hideaway. Mind and soul have to be switched off from time to time.
