I've got a tough time trusting a breakout at the bottom of the 9th before a holiday weekend. It's like some smarmy dude in a suit pushes a slice of Death by Chocolate across the table at you and winks..

unable to make a real breakout and volume surge, so might see pullback here. I just wish it's not too big.

This should be against the law:
Consistently a 5-10 cent spread between bid/ask on an ETF that has 5.8 million shares traded (very liquid)

Hey guys,

FWIW, and it's worth very little, contrary to some of today's postings I'd expect Obama to go this weekend.

Great article in WaPo about military hesitance and possible consequences can be found here:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/nat ... story.html

Also Reuters has a great, constantly updating live website on all things Syria here:

http://live.reuters.com/Event/Syria_9

PS, don't forget there's some big data coming out of China this weekend.

Me? I'm just gonna do whatever Cobra tells me to do— it's got me this far, so why change? It's why I hangout at his house everyday :D

DUST is a 3x ETF, prices move very fast on it. NUGT has a 17 cent spread.

Didn't think much about it when twerking was added to the Oxford Dictionary:

http://www.wired.com/underwire/2013/08/ ... -twerking/

But now it's on Cobra's board?

Must be legit.
