I'm sick of watching oil and gas prices returning to speculative levels again.
Just bought some UGA in an IRA today. That ought to stop it.

Ziggy, thanks for your self-sacrifice. But we might want to sell our house in the next year or two--could you do something about the real estate situation too?
My USL is up almost 40%. Looks like it's time to sell...
Two words: trailing stop.

I bought USO a month ago and it's up 22% already. I hadn't intended for it to be a short-term trade, but I'm really wondering if I shouldn't take my profits and run (or at least place a trailing stop).

Gee! When the market goes up, all kinds of stock/sector pickers and timers surface to confess.

Yeah, and its always happens right during prebuy season! I gotta buy now before it goes back up! 2.399 per gallon for heating oil. Last year I prebought at $.4.799... DANG!

I do it to be a market-KILLER, not a market-TIMER.
