Steve Matrix at it again.......how stupid is this guy!!!

So here we go again, another one of those 18 emails in 2 minutes spammin you, telling you just what a wonder wonder guy and how much money "YOU" can make by just hanging out with him.....Ok, there might be a fee.....but that is a minor point.
So I click on all the links to see what this is all about.


As I worked my way thru all the crapola, I came across a picture of what he uses to get those amazing signals, that he will share with you.....how nice is that???? "My super computer system are"...blah blah blah......just one problem there STEVE.....and you can see the link at the top to go and check for yourself....BUT.....BUT.....BUTTTTTT


What you see on his website, is a picture that was cropped.....the Tennessee stuff has been cut out, the Penn State stuff......but if you click on the picture you will see a UT cell phone on the lower left side of the big 50" plasma...and the word TENNESSEE in the middle of the cabinet door. That is even my spread indicator on the plasma, along with the sand color that I have posted everywhere it seems. NOW, why would someone pretend to have this super system and it is by the way, if he was making 1300 pricks a month.....WHY INDEED. Because he is full of horse shit right up to his nose....and I have pointed out many times about all the garbage this clown is throwing out there pretending to be something he ain't.....PERIOD. BECAUSE THAT IS MY TRADING DESK,.......and NO ONE ELSES.....PERIOD

I always take a look at everything, including claims and people that say he is doing just wonderful things........take Gayl for instead on the left side.....


WOW, there Gayl, don't confuse confident with a blind ego....so I checked out Gayl Murphy, her website and then emailed her......


WELL, LORDY, LORDY.....she ain't never used his super trading signal service, and she only "thinks" that Steve does really well. Actually it looks like Gayl is not a trader at all.....but a Author/Speaker/Consultant/Correspondent in Hollywood......man oh man!!!!!

First bar trade working against the third bar setup.

The past two days, the first bar has been overrun by the third bar trade......and that is exactly how I have been trading this.......Half off according to the rules and then if I am taken out, I look to take the third bar setup.....


Once in the trade, the rules call for me to take half off when the "stoch" has cycled up if I am long or cycled down if I am short....then using the last bar, I watch when the low is taken out (if long) and just cover half and move to breakeven.

And hope for the best.........

Love those Lady Vols

Some on you might think that I love sports.....well you are right!!! Pee Wee baseball is the best comedy show on the planet and if you ever watched it...you would have to agree.

But sometimes there is a player that is just above and beyond....and for four years, we watched the most beautiful women in Tennessee play basketball. Now she was a good player or she wouldn't been on the team. Coach Summit only interviews a dozen players each year....and only selects 3, because of her program she gets top players.

So Britt not only could play ball, but looked great doing it. So check out this website.....she was a marketing major.

All about timing......

So Jim has been working for almost a year trying to raise enough funds to build a boys and girls club chapter here in Gatlinburg. He is one heck of a salesman, I'll say that, and worked me over for a $50,000.00 donation. But when I went to the awards dinner a couple of weeks ago and listened to the girl talk about her life, WELL, I decided I needed to step it up.

Jim always leaves for Naples about this time of year and doesn't come back until about Easter and he was $47,000.00 short of his goal the night of the awards dinner.
On Friday, it started out like any normal day as I went to the Pancake Pantry for breakfast, I had them call Jim and ask that all important question. The answer came back $7,400.00. So I told him, if you can get a reporter to take a picture, I'll give you a check for $7,401.00....that is one dollar more then his goal and would start the motions to begin construction. Neverless to say, at 2:00pm we all met at the site and took this photo. So Jim's dream and goal has come to pass......



Now some might say, that me posting this....I am showing off. Well, pound sand....but for the rest of us. Trading can give you the opportunity to make choices that can provide a better life for others....what have you done??????????


If you enjoy humor, then get a load of this. One of the local banks put up $30,000.00 a couple days before. Had their picture taken also, but they made page 3 and black and white photo, while little old me got the headlines by putting them over the goal......there is a lesson in marketing there somewhere......But the kids win no matter.

The only problem on Friday was later in the day, while on the hill helping the guys I had another boo boo......anyone that knows me, knows that when we started this house two years ago, well I was always doing something to get hurt. I even had a Polaris Ranger roll back over me and mess up my shoulder and back. I used to roll down the hill every weekend it seemed. My kids would get a call on their cells and I would hear them say...."Well, as soon as my Dad rolls down the hill, we'll be done for the day". But the last 10 months I have been injury free....well up to two weeks ago, the last thing I thought while falling into a 2x4 was..."this is going to hurt".

Friday was the best one yet, I was this close to going to over the side again from 40 feet in the air....I only ended up with a minor bump on the head and a half pint of blood.......the guys wouldn't let me help anymore....one even said..."You are to valuable to be doing this". But just another day in the wide world of sport.

On Friday,

Market Internals from the best in the business.......

I learned the internals and market order from attending 4 of LBR workshops back in 1997 to 2001. I also spent some time at her office in Wellington watching and learning from how she actually trades and organizes her day.

I believe that anytime you can find any of her work to read or listen to....well it's going to be time well spent. It took me over a year to go thru everything because I would study one idea until to the "Nth" degree and even had dreams about it...ROTFL.

Once I got that idea down, then I would start watching, printing out charts, checking, logging until I got that one down. So if you have time and want to study market order then enjoy these links that a trading friend sent over for the blog.....sharing, learning and growing ......that is what this is all about.

Steve Matrix, Forex Mentors are they kissing cousins???

SO there I was looking at yet another get me rich quick thingie.......and just how easy this is.....so I am always looking for the holy grail just like you are.....so I clicked all over it and under Forex Mentor it took me over to....you can click on the picture to make it bigger so you can read it....if you like....


Now if you study all the stuff posted here about this young master trader, you can see how close the layouts, color, tag lines and so on have been......so I guess the same marketer is working overtime on this stuff. Sure enough,....money money and just more and more money..WOW, I thought. So I started to read about all the people that have sent in about just how great this really is......


The third comment at the bottom of the page was interesting to me. "This just in from Lesley"......WOW.....so of course, by now you know that I just don't stop there now do I? It took me a while, I'll give them that. But there ain't no Dorado Valley in Nambia.........


There ain't even a Fairview Height in IL either.......I guess he had been trading the ghost pattern from the CCI so long that Scot is from a ghost town.


Just a quiet thank you.....from nowhere......just another ghost town.


My old buddy.....ANONYMOUSE, just has to chime in everywhere it seems....but at least he isn't working at Walmart these days. He had just got off the phone with a market maker and he spoke so highly about this.....WELL HELL YEA....we call that YOU BEING ORDER FLOW FOOL!!!!!!!!


Of course, as I scanned the names of the people, city and countries...I know this town is for real.....wonder if he knows DrBob. Of course, who cares if Bruce Sheep actually lives in Blah Blah, ND. I see a pattern with just the addresses......Wonder what else might be wrong.....oh well GREAT MARKETING EVERYONE

Blogin ......who would have thought???

This little blog journal keeps climbing the 1,000 most daily visited blog on a monthly average...and totally amazed.

We still can't get ahead of "DirtyDebbie"......but at least we are now ahead of "JoeyDestino" and of course...."Underwearblog". ROTFL.

The humor just never ends it seems!!!!!

Let's set those trusses...TODAY....OK

So the day finally came when they started to set the final set to trusses.....


Even Tino was ready to set trusses......and the guide rope was attached on the right end of the trusses to move them.


We had taken a piece of rebar and bent it so all they had to do was hook the truss and away it goes.....


The weather even gave us a break, since there wasn't any wind to twist and bend the trusses.....so here we go.....lift...lift..


38 feet long and about 80 feet in the air....what a great sight indeed.


With one guy giving hand signals to the crane operator....down she came into place.


On each one of the walls someone was sitting waiting for the first one to come, now it's only about 30 feet to the nearest deck, but these guys like to walk on about a 4 inch wide wall and have no problem with this.....


Someone also had to be in the middle to release the rebar hook and brace the truss against the great room roof.


By lunch time, they had almost the half of the left side in place......LUNCH...did someone say LUNCH.....

First bar trade...is this ground hog day all over again.

Last week, the first trading day of the week (Tuesday) was not fun at all. This Monday was no better, as the first bar, third bar both were losers. The small bull crown was able to get some of it back......but it was still a tough day.

Monday night, instead of trying to figure out what kind of filter I need to make these setups a winner, I watched the UT/Duke basketball game. Well, it was really a bad day by the time Sanford and Son came on....to say the least.

Today, it didn't matter what you did....well as long as you weren't shorting I guess, but that is another story. Small losers against larger winners is what this game is all about.....not finding filters.

Playboy revisited from the January 5th, 2006

Well check this out.........

http://www.playboy.com/features/features/playboyexchange/

So guess what.,.....the New York Times did an update about the girls from Playboy and they are up 3.41% as a group while the S&P500 is up only 1.60%. Ann McCarthy is up almost 20%.........
Reminds me of when they used monkeys to throw darts at the financial page and beat the fund managers..........

Getin'r done....but first

Before we set the last set of roof trusses we moved everything except the hot tub up on the fourth floor by using the crane. These 4x12 rafter tails are 16 feet long and will go around the house every 32 inches.....cost $740.00 plus the cost of deliver, staining and varishing.


Needless to say there was a pile of them...ok piles of them.


Also all the OSB was setup on the fourth floor and were packed in a stack of 25. Slowly each group of rafter tails were moved up.


The guys all wear gloves, the really cheap ones, but they wear gloves right up until they finger show thru.....of course that is only opportunity others when they are thrown away.....


Group after group are moved up making sure that a 2x4 is placed under them in case of rain.....just a side note, the Smoky's are considered the North American rain forest.....and at times I believe it.


The plumber is actually one of those people......he went to UT and got a degree in engineering and reads everything and of course....knows everything. So it's a game of wits at times. He is paid by the hour.......NOT by the.....


The amount of pipe and connectors he uses.....this is a running joke since we have changed where things go. NO, NO....we decided to move the bathroom over here against this wall......but you have to love them, I promised, for better or worse, richer or poorer, blah, blah, blah until death do you part.....hummmmmm

PEOPLE COME INTO YOUR LIFE FOR A REASON

PEOPLE COME INTO YOUR LIFE FOR A REASON
I am sending this to you to see how many actually read their email. Your response will be interesting. Pay attention to what you read. After you have finished reading it, you will know the reason it was sent to you. Here goes: People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person. When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to
take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on. Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it is real. But only for a season. LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

Thank you for being a part of my life, whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime. Send this to every friend that you have online, including the person who sent
it to you.

Well I had a flat tire yesterday and pulled off on the side of the road, jumped out of my car, walked down the hillside and picked a bunch of wildflowers, and proceeded to put one bouquet of the flowers in front of the car and one behind it.

Then I got back in the car to wait. A passerby studied the scene as he drove by and was so curious he turned around and came back. He asked me what the problem was? Well, I replied, "I have a flat tarr." In response the passerby asked, "But what's with the flowers?" I responded, "When you break down around here they tell you to put flares in the front and flares in the back! I never did understand it neither."!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Even though I ain't from around hear, I think I might be blending in.

Roof truss time in Tennessee

Well, the first time around they brought the roof trusses on a 45 foot tractor trailer and gave us all the time we needed to unload them. This time however, they delivered them on a flat bed and waited for us to move them off. Not saying that having all your air brake lines burned off had to do with it...BUT.


And what a load it was....I did notice that they had not put a red flag on the end of the trusses, but this is Tennessee after all.....


The entire roof system has a total of 11 elevations to it, and each are strapped together so we don't get confused....like that will stop us....:)


These trusses are 39 feet long and couldn't be build in one piece so we will be adding a small triangle looking thing on the top later....


I still find it interesting that something that wiggles around this much can actually hold up a roof with 36 inches of snow.....now we have only had 23 inches of snow back in 95 or 96 but I had it designed for 50% more then the biggest snow storm on record......


Down on the third floor the woodcravers are about to finish up as the chips fly....we had them hue everything and as soon as the roof is finished we will start to sand, stain and varish all this stuff.....to match the ceiling.


Down on the first floor, this beam will be placed just under the stairways.....this beam couldn't be lifted by 6 guys.....and has to be moved around using the bobcat. It's just over 16 feet and is 16 by 24 inches....don't ask about how much this baby cost......


Will it about time to start moving the trusses over and set them....that's tomorrow.

Pup in training.

So how many times do I have to tell you.....you have to stop smelling my mouth when I yawn.....ROTFL

It's just a roof........with a tree in the middle..that's all.

436

As they moved across the great room nailing the pecky cypress 2 wide and 1 narrow the room started to shape up finally. The problems are just starting.....


The reason is that we have an octagon roof that will be merged under the great room roof..AND.....the 46 foot high tree is in the center of it all.....


First we have purlongs running thru the both roofs and they are at a thirty degree angle. It seems that everyone has an opinion of how to do this.....here 5 guys are standing around talking about which way and what to do next......


While that discussion is going on.....we started to put the TGI's up in place. These are 16" thick and engineered not to twist, bend or anything other then support the roof....we cut them to length and the correct angle down on the ground.


We did one side at a time, about 10 of them and then did the other side so that they stayed straight and one side didn't get ahead of the other. They are nailed thru the pecky cypress and into the purlongs.


Ever hang your.......well stuff over the edge 60 feet in the air? Ok, how about with a cig in one hand.....got to love these guys.


It's always a balancing act between hanging on and praying hard. I had them put a roll of tar paper down before they started the TGI placement as a final barrier for any water leaks.....


It only took a day to place all the TGIs, nail them down and get ready to block the tops and bottom......but they are still thinking about where to start on the octagon......with a cig in one hand and a chain saw in the other.....the talking was over.....this reminds me of trading without a stop, one wrong cut and we are shafted because you can't go back and just fix it.....so they talked for 2 days.


This shot was taking at the top of the great room, as the sun and clouds danced across the smoky mountains, it just takes your breath away sometimes.
