The VO did well considering the market action today. We closed down 35 points on the S&P retesting 1,320. Apparently, the bulls didn’t have much conviction once we broke out of the triangle earlier this week. DT closes out the month on a positive note trading as many shares as a dinosaur can handle in one day.

Have a great weekend…

Update: Please bear with me as I make multiple changes to this first VO post. I am trying to figure out what will look the best.

As further proof that 2008 has been difficult, another fellow trader/blogger is going on Trading Probation. My buddy DT has decided to take the month of March off from blogging to focus on his trading.

block_bg.gif The fact of the matter is, I’m exhausted. While on paper you could look at my earnings last year and say I did okay, the number isn’t telling the full story… First of all, I will not be blogging for the month of March. I’ve been posting for a year, a lot, and I’ve never really taken time away from it to catch my breath… As for trading? Well, I’m lacking in discipline. I find myself making the same mistakes over and over despite my understanding that I’m making a mistake. Hope isn’t a good trading strategy (sorry Barack).

Being that DT is taking a month off, he had to pass the VO off to someone. After only being in the VO for a week, he asked if I would be interested in taking the reigns for March and I graciously accepted the offer. Everything will pretty much be the same. I will have the daily numbers posted no later than 3:15 CST each day.
