Investment Report
April 2010
Keeping the simple approach to the markets at this juncture. In a complex system there never is an easy answer. There is an unfamiliar force at work on the markets. While I believe a bounce from the woes and lows was warranted the continuing rise without pause is a concern. Swing positions will be small and tightly stopped but my primary approach is focused day trading. There are about 2 or 3 opportunities a week to practice what I call brute force luck, or calculated luck. Non institutional human systems have to make their own luck in this highly computerized market, which means focusing on patterns that are not machine exploitative. HFT's are scalping the market using what probably amounts to illegal advantages but the market is currently lawless so there is no recourse to their actions. The US markets are for gunslingers only and the sheriff is drunk and ineffective.
