Not a rally.<br /><br />With that said it is resistance.<br /><br />As for intuition, mine stinks. That is why they say the sicker to your stomach you feel after making a trade the better the odds you are right.<br /><br />See previous comment.

But all I can go by is my experience in waiting rooms and hospital wards. Perhaps - and probably due to where I live I encounter too many people of all professions who think the rules do not apply to them. Pass a school bus with blinking lights? My kid is not on it. Red light? My right to turn no matter who is there. Handicapped parking spaces? Puh-lease. What line at the cashier?<br /><br />Rant over.

When they aren't, it's sometimes because of emergencies or walk-ins. I see them before scheduled hours, at lunch, whenever.<br /><br />I'm in the hospital around 7 AM each day, often work late, work one in five weekends (61 consecutive hours) and take night call another three nights a week. <br /><br />And I'm not getting any younger either, after four years of college, four years of medical school, six years of training, four years as a military staff physician, and eighteen years in private practice. <br /><br />In fact, I felt like a complete jerk when I had to cancel an afternoon because (as power of attorney at a closing) I got held up for six hours by CitiMortgage (ex-DJIA). <br /><br />Yes, I am far from perfect, but I don't think I'm any better than my patients and they don't deserve to wait. <br /><br />www.ronsen.blogspot.comRon Sen, MD, FCCPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02421945373895318335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7444476276287180978.post-73905148563895348972009-06-01T17:52:43.410-04:002009-06-01T17:52:43.410-04:00Hey Michael,

Call it the "intuitive" approach.<br />This weekend I was ready to throw in the towel. I got interested in this stock at $14. It closed Friday at $18 but still the yield was good.<br />I interpreted my willingness to give up as a sign that a top is near.<br /><br />Also, a double top between today and the January 6th high of 941 is still in play, I think, with the S&P closing at 942.87. <br /><br />Then again maybe my willingness to see a top is a sure sign that stocks are ready to take off.<br /><br />Paul O'CuanaPaul O'Cuanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06839773981900425359noreply@blogger.com
