Welcome

For those who know me well, you of course also know that I have become pretty active in the stock markets over the past years, and that I avidly follow a multitude of topics and issues that impact our markets.  I've decided to start this blog primarily as a way of sharing information that I come across regarding the economy and the markets that you may not ever see on CNBC or Fox Business, but that is equally relevant, not to mention critically important, to anyone who is a trader, an investor, or a 401k holder.  In doing so, I will of course be providing my own commentary and color to the posts that I make, but whenever possible, I will also be providing attachments or links to hard data that support or substantiate my comments.  My reasons for doing this are not to try to change anyone's mind on any particular topic, but to simply present the information, and rely on you the reader to review the material with an open mind.  Have no doubt however, my comments will definitely let you know where I stand, and since it's my blog, I'll not be shy about saying my piece.  :-)

The other reason I've started this blog is because I truly enjoy analyzing stock charts and entering trades based on what the technical analysis is telling me, so expect to see frequent posts containing charts of individual stocks, indexes and ETF's, along with my commentary on what I see happening.  Keep in mind however that I'm doing this for my own amusement, and that none of my comments should be construed as trading or investment advice. 

Well, I think that'll do it for the introductions....once again, welcome to my blog, and enjoy!!
