Let it Ride

I am perfectly satisfied with all my positions going into this morning's opening bell.

So I'm going to not follow the market until tomorrow when I will try to say something else clever, but for now suffice it to say that the type of action I have been anticipating for several weeks looks like it is coming to fruition, and may be intensifying going into next week.

Plus we're entering the Year of the Ox. The previous Ox trading year was 1997, which was a fun year for Jim Cramer I seem to remember.

Wish me luck!
