George Carlin on Age........

IF YOU DON'T READ THIS TO THE VERY END, YOU HAVE LOST A DAY IN YOUR LIFE. AND WHEN YOU HAVE FINISHED, DO AS I AM DOING AND SEND IT ON.

George Carlin's Views on Aging

Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is when we're kids? If you're less than 10 years old, you're so excited about aging that you think in fractions.

'How old are you?' 'I'm four and a half!' You're never thirty-six and a half. You're four and a half, going on five! That's the key

You get into your teens, now they can't hold you back. You jump to the next number, or even a few ahead.

'How old are you?' 'I'm gonna be 16!' You could be 13, but hey, you're gonna be 16! And then the greatest day of your life .. . You become 21. Even the words sound like a ceremony YOU BECOME 21. YESSSS!!!

But then you turn 30. Oooohh, what happened there? Makes you sound like bad milk! He TURNED; we had to throw him out. There's no fun now, you're Just a sour-dumpling. What's wrong? What's changed?

You BECOME 21, you TURN 30, then you're PUSHING 40. Whoa! Put on the brakes, it's all slipping away. Before you know it, you REACH 50 and your dreams are gone.

But wait!!! You MAKE it to 60. You didn't think you would!

So you BECOME 21, TURN 30, PUSHING 40, REACH 50 and MAKE it to 60.

You've built up so much speed that you HIT 70! After that it's a day-by-day thing; you HIT Wednesday!

You get into your 80's and every day is a complete cycle; you HIT lunch; you TURN 4:30 ; you REACH bedtime. And it doesn't end there. Into the 90s, you start going backwards; 'I Was JUST 92.'

Then a strange thing happens. If you make it over 100, you become a little kid again. 'I'm 100 and a half!'
May you all make it to a healthy 100 and a half!!

HOW TO STAY YOUNG
1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay 'them.'

2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.

3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain idle. 'An idle mind is the devil's workshop.' And the devil's name is Alzheimer's.

4. Enjoy the simple things.

5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.

6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person, who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive.

7. Surround yourself with what you love, whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.

8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.

9. Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county; to a foreign country but NOT to where the guilt is..

10.Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

So who is Roger Felton guy

So who is this guy Roger Felton, he did a webinar from a broker and then pops up on a front-end provider doing another webinar, but this time about find divergence signals instead of auto trading. I guess I will have to dig around find out what the deal is about and if they are any disasters left behind...

Congress is not responsible, just those who voted for the bastards.

Come and listen to a story 'bout a man named Jed,
Poor mountainerrt, barely kept his family fed,
Then one day he was shooting at some food,
And up through the mud came a bubblin crude,
(Oil, that is, black gold, texas tea).

Well the first thing you know, Jed thinks he's a millionaire,
But then Congress said, "Hey, get away from there!"
Said Cuba's the only place where drilling ought to be,
So they put him in a truck bound for the penitentiary,
(Jail that is, federal pen, with oil company ceo's)

Well now its time to say goodbye to Jed and all his kin,
They ran out of gas and starved to death, casue Congress did them in,
You're all invited back to this locality,
But only if you're a caribou or you want to plant a tree,
(Don't come back now, ya hear?)

Mark Braun up coming online workshop

I spend at lot of time checking out market gurus and from time to time I have found some clever ones, but in the end, expose them for what they are. All based on their own facts, deeds and so on.

Also from time to time, I have found someone that wants to help, wants to share good solid information about their little corner of the world and I also like to talk about them. It's not all about BSski on these fakers out there. I have known Mark for several years, and he has worked hard to understand how fibonacci levels can be applied to trading the markets. He takes his time and explains, again and again until the person gets it. Now that is not saying that everyone will get it, but Mark will go that extra mile....day after day after day.

It was in fact, myself that found Mark and convinced both FibonacciTrader.com and Mark that they would be a great match. Mr. Krausz had passed away suddenly and for a year or so, I filled in doing FT workshops. I never wanted to be a guru, I just loved to share my passion for trading to anyone that would listen....and still do.

Mark is having his first online workshop over in Trading Rooms Academy and I think the link is http://www.tradingrooms.com/tracademy/default.aspx you can click on the title to this update to be thrown over there. Mark's workshop will be on July 6 to the July 11th......WOW...and I thought three days was long for a workshop.....:)

He will also be doing a thing on Monday the 30th, and you check out the details at:

http://www.mjbraun.net/Workshop.htm

If you ever wanted to understand Fibonacci relationship in both time and price and how you can combine your secret stuff and improve your trading....then this is the place to obtain that information without fear of it being just a sales job on you.

I don't recommend a lot of people out there.....LBR for advanced study, Larry Williams for newbies and Van Tharp for money management, but Mark is solid.

SO I took stock in my life and got it down to four things.

I sat down the other night and did an inventory of my life, at this point, it now comes down to just four things. I thought it was going to be five, but can't remember the last one......oh well!!

Hey Kenny, check this out dude

Since both SFO magazine and PFG brokerage house is promoting this webinar, I think it would be a good time for the folks over at the WoodiesCCIClub.com to attend it. I even believe that I might just send them an email alerting them to this broadcast.

That way they could get both the "FACTS and the "FICTION" of automated systems, since they seem to be having a hard time with the one they have been promoting the past year or so. The webinar will cover topics like....Entries, Exits, stop management, "momentum" and volume exhaustion. That momentum thing is right up their.......alley so to speak.

Hope you can join in there Kenny.

DETAILS.........

SATURDAY: October 4th
7:45am Breakfast is served at the Pancake Pantry starting a 7:45am, you can't come to Gatlinburg without enjoying some East Tennessee pancakes.......it's located at Pancake Pantry 628 Parkway, Gatlinburg, TN 865-436-4724 again any desk clerk can give you directions.....this will end at 8:45am so we can get to the house for the workshop......

9:30am Money Management and we will start out with what I believe is the most important part of any workshop...and that is money management. But this part is also about having problems, fears, depression and so on. Getting out of a slump and how. About believing in yourself and not in some market guru. And how to design a money management system for "your" trading style and then how to monitor it for the best overall results.....there will be a new twist this time around…..:)

11:30am The "first bar trade" and all the details fit to print.....which ones to avoid, which ones to take and how to manage it......also the three bar reversal and how to manage that one......rules rules and all the rules....along with questions and answers....

12:00...High Noon LUNCH...... Lunch will be from McAllister's Deli....I personally don't like to go to workshop and seminars and the food is something you can't spell or pronounce. So we will have all the fixins to make a great sandwich....some potato salad or cole slaw, a nice garden salad and mixed fruit and a dessert for those who didn't eat salad.....ROTFL.........if you have any special needs please let us know so my daughters will be able to have it for you........

1:00pm... How to find a good stocks to buy or a really bad stocks to short. We will examine several sources of "tips". These "tips" have for a number of reason popped up on the radar screens and instead of just throwing good money at them, we will begin to sort thru the noise and find the ones to consider for a trade. These stocks can be swing traded (3-10 days) or long term (30 to 180 days). Also these stocks can be traded without having to sit in front of the computer all way beating yourself up. Enter the order, and if triggered have a profit target and risk tolerance already loaded in.........

3:30pm...Defining a trend using indicators..... this part of the workshop should be the most interesting as we start to build a trading plan. How many indicators do you need, which ones, what time frame is best and on and on. So, this week I will be snapping charts as the week unfolds and these charts will be used for the workshop, no using charts from 3 years ago that worked perfectly. But rather charts from the unknown at this point in time. It would be a good idea then, as the week unfolds to take notes about problems you are having so we can talk about them since we will be working off the same page.....that is the 9 minute, 3 minute and the 144 tick charts of the ER. But we will define a trend and then define a pullback in the direction of the trend and then even go so far as to define a COUNTER TREND SETUP and when it's safe to actually take that one......

I expect this to go into Sunday also.......since we will be ending up for the day around 5:00pm....

BREAKS: Anyone that knows me knows I could talk about trading long after the cows come home, so we will take breaks when I see that more then 4 people are either praying or taking a nap....about 10-15 minutes so we can all walk around and take a potty break.

6:00pm....DINNER.....Instead of having a dinner on Saturday night like we have in the past, everyone can stay around drink the rest of the beer and finish eatin whatever is left over from the Oktoberfest.......but you can also bunch up and enjoy the City of Gatlinburg and network.......which is a major part of this.....

SUNDAY Ocotber 5th
7:45am Breakfast is served at the Pancake Pantry starting a 7:45am, you can't come to Gatlinburg without enjoying some East Tennessee pancakes.......it's located at Pancake Pantry 628 Parkway, Gatlinburg, TN 865-436-4724 again any desk clerk can give you directions.....this will end at 8:45am so we can get to the house for the workshop......

9:30am......Defining a trend using indicators...not sure where we will leave off from yesterday but wherever it is this is where we will pickup on......this part of the workshop is to explore how to develop a trading plan, back test it, keep records or a log, and find out if it's just more noise or something of value. How many indicators do you need, which ones talk the talk and which ones don't walk the walk. By the time we are done with the second part of this you will be ready for the magic.

11:30am.....Market internals.....With 3 case studies in the manuals, two of them for an entire week we start to bring together the natural rhythm, the indicator and the internals. 8 conditions and what they mean and when it's just BSski or noise. Could you trade with just fib levels and the internals? Could you trade with just the internals......WOW!!!! We'll see, but the manual is jammed full of examples.

12:00...High Noon LUNCH...... Lunch will be from McAllister's Deli again ....I personally don't like to go to workshop and seminars and the food is something you can't spell or pronounce. So we will have fruit, and all the fixins to make a great sandwich....some potato salad or cole slaw, a nice garden salad and mixed fruit and a dessert for those who didn't eat salad.....ROTFL.........if you have any special needs please let us know so my daughters will be able to have it for you........

1:00pm......Market Internals......after a nice lunch and before you fall totally asleep we will finish up with the market internals. I know before anyone says anything that this should bring out at least a hundred thousand questions.......so part of this segment will be how to go thru your charts at home and what you need to do so you can it from across the room and under your desk.

3:00pm......Pulling it all together and defining what we are going to trade....Now that we have the natural order of the market under our belts, and have talked a defined way to look at trend, the pullback, the setup, the trigger, and how to manage the trade we will put a trading plan in writing.....

4:00pm .....The final answer time.....This will be where you can answer questions about, options, bonds, rice, banana puddin or whatever and if I know the answer I will tell ya, if I don't I will tell you that also. But maybe someone else knows the answer and that would be just great if they shared their ideas......

5:00pm.....YOU ARE OUT OF HERE BABY.....This will be around the time we will end for the day and dinner is on your own, hopefully you have made friends with some other guys or couples and will go out to dinner and enjoy the evening busting on each other.....most likely it will be about the workshop so far, but that's OK TOO!!!

MONDAY Ocotber 6th
7:45am Breakfast is served at the Pancake Pantry starting a 7:45am, you can't come to Gatlinburg without enjoying some East Tennessee pancakes.......it's located at Pancake Pantry 628 Parkway, Gatlinburg, TN 865-436-4724 again any desk clerk can give you directions.....this will end at 8:45am so we can get to the house for the workshop......

9:00am to 9:30am Before I start trading for the day, three representatives from 3 local charities will be at the house, The ASPCA, The Boys and Girls Boys of Gatlinburg and the Good Shepard Clinic. I promised back aways to have a Trade-a-Long at the house once it was finished for my trading buddies, and I will fulfill that promise. As part of this workshop, there is no fee, no BSski to buy, no subscription to sign up for....nothing. But when you get something for nothing, what value does it have in the end......NONE. So, it will be between you and your soul as to what amount you give to these charities, it doesn't matter to me as I don't have to be there when you look into the mirror each morning.........now do I?

9:30am to 4:30pm TRADING BABY TRADING......I will be trading live, real money, most likely a 20 lot unless it turns into a trend day and then there are no limits. While in a trade, or when I see a setup coming, I will talk about it, talk thru it, not around it. There won't be any question or answer period until I say, "Anyone have a question NOW????? " People always want to come and sit next to me and watch me trade and this is your opportunity to do just that. But money is money and BSski is BSski and I take no prisoners....NONE.

4:30pm... the final answer...... I think by the time we are done for the day everyone will be spent, but I will have a follow up on questions about whatever. Hopefully as the day unfolds and I am walking around talking to myself most of the questions will be answered.....but you will have 30 minutes to an hour and then it's over, pack up the balloons and head to the airport as I get ready for the next event on Thursday...as United Way fund raiser for 800.........it's Oktoberfest in TENNNESSEEEeeeeeeeeeee.........

Copper Wire.....

After having dug to a depth of 10 yards last year, New York scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 100 years and came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network more than 100 years ago.

Not to be outdone by the New Yorkers, in the weeks that followed, California scientists dug to a depth of 20 yards, and shortly after, headlines in the LA Times newspaper read: 'California archaeologists have found traces of 200 year old copper wire and have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network a hundred years earlier than the New Yorkers.'

One week later, The "Sylacauga Advance," a local newspaper in Alabama, reported the following:

"After digging as deep as 30 yards in a cotton field near Weogufka in Coosa County, Rufus Earl McMahon, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing. Rufus Earl has therefore con cluded that 300 years ago, Alabama had already gone wireless

'build it and they will come!'

A family that lives on the outskirts of Anchorage, Alaska decided to build a sturdy, colorful playground for their 3 and 4 year old sons.

They lined the bottom with smooth-stone gravel all around to avoid knee scrapes and other injuries. They finished building it one Friday evening and were very pleased with the end product.

The following morning, the mom was about to wake up the boys and have them go out to play in their new play center. This is what she saw from the upstairs window:



This gives a whole new meaning to 'build it and they will come!'

OKTOBERFEST is coming up next.......

The Chicken Dance's secret weapon: It gets even the klutziest wallflower out on the dance floor, because it makes everyone look equally silly. That may be why, in a survey of D.J.s, the "Chicken Dance" charts higher than classics such as "We Are Family" and "Respect."

The tune remained in obscurity for years after being written in the late 1950s by a Swiss accordion player named Werner Thomas when he was in his 20s, who at the time tended a flock of ducks and geese so the tune was first named "Der Ententanz" (The Duck Dance.) Mr. Thomas began performing his song at his Davos restaurant around 1963 and got an immediate reaction. People spontaneously "began to move with the melody." A leg here, an arm up there and suddenly Thomas thought of his animals.

The dance evolved to include a beak, wing and tail motions. Mr. Thomas eventually named the song "Tchirp-Tchirp," to mimic the sound of a bird. But it didn't spread beyond the resort town until 1971, when a Belgian music publisher stopped in the restaurant and took a liking to the song. The publisher added words for the first time-in Dutch, his native language-and the song quickly became a success in Europe.

Sometime in the late 1970s, the song acquired the name "Vogeltanz" (bird dance) or "Vogerltanz" (Little Bird Dance or Birdie Dance), although these names never caught on seriously in Germany. On some sheet music and recordings it is called "Dance Little Bird." It appears that no one in Germany uses the term "Kükentanz" (Küken means chicken).

It migrated to America a few years later, when New York publisher Stanley Mills acquired the U.S. publishing rights. Mr. Mills, whose September Music Corp. consisted of himself and an assistant, hawked the song relentlessly, "As soon as I heard someone was doing a dance album or a polka album, as soon as I even smelled it, I called them up," Mills said.

Mills changed the song's name to "Dance Little Bird" in an attempt to make it more commercial. He also commissioned English lyrics: "Hey, you're in the swing/You're cluckin' like a bird (pluck, pluck, pluck, pluck)/You're flappin' your wings/Don't you feel absurd."

The words never really caught on, but Mills did line up several recordings. Band leader Jimmy Sturr says he put the tune on a 1982 album called "Hooked on Polkas!" after Mills badgered him to "record this, it's going to be a big hit." Sturr still performs it in his live shows, yet the song failed to dent the pop charts.

Things started to change in the late 1980s. The dance began showing up at Oktoberfests and other events. Mr. Mills got his first personal experience of the burgeoning phenomenon when he heard the song played by a band at his son's bar mitzvah. Then a record label called to ask about using the "Chicken Dance." Mills had never heard the name used for his song before. But an informal survey of bandleaders he knew revealed that many of them were performing the tune at weddings and other events, always using the "Chicken Dance" name.

The Chicken Dance will be just some of the fun we will be having on October 3rd as we host the Second Annual Oktoberfest for the United Way of Sevier County. This is a Friday evening and then on Saturday we will again be having another Educational Workshop on the 4th thru the 6th, with living trading on Monday. This workshop will be using FibonacciTrader.com software instead of TradeStation and will feature the normal stuff but also how to use this style for stocks and other instruments we can trade.

So if you think you would like to come, at least mark your calendar.....:)

Close but no cigar........ :)

Woodies CCI Club Autotrader Version 17.001

You can click on any picture so it's big enough to see the detail..... :)

The Autotrader from the WoodiesCCIClub.com was pulled back on the 5th of June because of......a programming bug or something. It was proudly announced that the autotrader had gone back to the programmer so that they could write the code for the latest research that just came to light...or something like that. Kenny even went on to say that it didn't do that well over the summer months and this was a good time to upgrade, improve or try something else ......and sure enough just I like said back at the beginning of June....RANGE BAR is next. You can see the holy grail of range bar is 40.

The account reopened with what is left of the $5,000.00 they started with at $3,954.97 on Monday the 16th of June. Now on Monday the newest release of this advanced Autotrader only lost less then 10 bucks.....about 2 gallons of gas.

By Friday however, even with holding an open position overnight, the WoodiesCCIClub.com Autotrader had managed to end the week at $3,812.75 for a net gain of ..........let me re-figure this.....5 subtract 1 and carry over the square of nine......hummmmm.

It seems that the newest version....version 17.001 managed again to continue it's trend of making money for the broker while losing ($142.22) for you....now this is only about 3.5% this week. Again, Kenny says that you can't just look at this daily or weekly...or even a short time frame like monthly you have to look at this long term. I guess that is right as long as you don't get that call....you know The Red Ball Express MARGIN CALL...

I guess that they had to bring the AutoTrader back on the market so they could collect that $200.00 monthly fee....can't wait to see that deducted again, along with the OTE fee. I am sure that this weekend in Orlando, the Autotrader will be topic number one, not for the attendees, those poor newbies with their wide eyes open and believing in every word, enjoying the candle thing and thinking they have found the answer. But for the Broker who will be there working the room, pouring the wine and signing them up.......

Why We Miss Rodney Dangerfield, because he said.....

My wife only has sex with me for a purpose. Last night she used me to time an egg.

It's tough to stay married. My wife kisses the dog on the lips, yet she won't drink from my glass!

Last night my wife met me at the front door. She was wearing a sexy negligee. The only trouble was, she was coming home.

A girl phoned me and said, 'Come on over. There's nobody home.' I went over. Nobody was home!

A hooker once told me she had a headache.

I went to a massage parlor. It was self service.

If it weren't for pickpockets, I'd have no sex life at all.

I was making love to this girl and she started crying I said, 'Are you going to hate yourself in the morning?' She said, 'No, I hate myself now.' I knew a girl so ugly that she was known as a two-bagger. That's when you put a bag over your head in case the bag over her head comes off.

I knew a girl so ugly, they use her in prisons to cure sex offenders. My wife is such a bad cook, if we leave dental floss in the kitchen the roaches hang themselves.

I'm so ugly I stuck my head out the window and got arrested for mooning.

The other day I came home and a guy was jogging, naked. I asked him, 'Why?' He said, 'Because you came home early.' My wife's such a bad cook, the dog begs for Alka-Seltzer.

I know I'm not sexy. When I put my underwear on I can hear the Fruit-of-the- Loom guys giggling..

My wife is such a bad cook, in my house we pray after the meal.

My wife likes to talk on the phone during sex; she called me from Chicago last night.

MY FAVORITE: My family was so poor that if I hadn't been born a boy, I wouldn't of had anything to play with.

Dennis,
"Thank you for your unselfish sharing of your trading knowledge and experience and additionally to your family for the three day invasion at your home and through the webinar."

"I remember going to my first Robert Krausz workshop in Orlando where not only did I learn new things and garner a few “nuggets” but was equally impressed by the generosity of the trading knowledge given – not necessarily for any monetary gain or “buy this” hustle but a genuine sense of wanting to share and that’s the same spirit you impart."

"If I can add one of the biggest nuggets I got out of the first workshop you talked at with Robert Krausz was “let the market speak to you,” I wrote that down but it was only much later that it really hit me with its value. It said to me don’t try to use workshop indicators, setups or whatever, verbatim, but rather massage them in a way that works specifically for you. We each have different temperaments, emotions, goals, trading frameworks, markets, good and bad days etc etc that we each handle and respond to differently. It has worked for me."

"Thank you once again."

Daytrading Workshop followup DAY 13

During the workshop I spoke about as you go back home and think about everything we talked about, all the ideas and nuggets I could find that you would be faced with stiff opposition, and that once this occurred to "YOU", you now would understand where these doubts, questions and the frustration would be coming from. The greater the test would be, the more you would know that you are not just standing in a wheat field looking down on the ground for something to eat, just making it day by day. But that you were now laying next to Boaz and when the new dawn comes, that the doors will be open for you, if you believed in yourself and the power inside "YOU", this new level of blessing would blow you away at this.......

I talked about purpose and struggles and how the next two weeks would be the greatest test you could face yet....do you remember this???? Needless to say I didn't understand, at the time, that I would be one of the tested....yet again. But, I will soon have a leg up on it, I might have a stumble once in a while, but by now, for those who were there at the workshop know one thing.... JUST BRING IT ON, I AM READY FOR ANYTHING YOU HAVE!!!, I didn't come this far to just give up now, so I'll prop up my feet, sit back and rest a couple of weeks.....because "THE PURPOSE" is still there.

I do want to thank everyone and if I can ever get thru the emails since the workshop, I will......you guys are the best without a doubt, and that is what makes it so rewarding for me.......and my family.

Political Promises

If a picture is worth ten thousand words, well then......no need to type another 9,981 of them...is there????

Happy Father's Day

My goldens just wanted to wish you guys with pups of your own,
a big wet one Happy Father's Day.
Many poems have been written to explain,
How a mother's love can soothe the pain.
But little has been said about a Father's concern,
So.. now... I think it must be his turn.

A Father's love for his offspring,
Is just like that of a solid gold ring.
No matter what, it is unending,
Never breaking; though.. sometimes bending.

His love is as strong as a mother's; although...
Due to his personality, it sometimes doesn't show.
There is no question of how strong..
Or of its lasting...however long.

So no matter if his child is good or bad,
There is no Love stronger, than that of a Dad.

The Highland Games hit town this weekend......

Bag pile music ringing thru the mountains this weekend and the smell of fresh baked stones......whatever they are... :)

Why did the chicken cross the road.......

BARACK OBAMA:
The chicken crossed the road because it was time for a CHANGE! The chicken wanted CHANGE!

JOHN MCCAIN:
My friends, that chicken crossed the road because he recognized the need to engage in cooperation and dialogue with all the chickens on the other side of the road.

HILLARY CLINTON:
When I was First Lady, I personally helped that little chicken to cross the road. This experience makes me uniquely qualified to ensure -- right from Day One! -- that every chicken in this country gets the chance it deserves to cross the road. But then, this really isn't about me.......

DR. PHIL:
The problem we have here is that this chicken won't realize that he must first deal with the problem on 'THIS' side of the road before it goes after the problem on the 'OTHER SIDE' of the road. What we need to do is help him realize how stupid he's acting by not taking on his 'CURRENT' problems before adding 'NEW' problems.

OPRAH:
Well, I understand that the chicken is having problems, which is why he wants to cross this road so bad. So instead of having the chicken learn from his mistakes and take falls, which is a part of life, I'm going to give this chicken a car so that he can just drive across the road and not live his life like the rest of the chickens.

GEORGE W. BUSH:
We don't really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road, or not. The chicken is either against us, or for us. There is no middle ground here.

COLIN POWELL:
Now to the left of the screen, you can clearly see the satellite image
of the chicken crossing the road..

ANDERSON COOPER - CNN:
We have reason to believe there is a chicken, but we have not yet been allowed to have access to the other side of the road.

JOHN KERRY:
Although I voted to let the chicken cross the road, I am now against it!
It was the wrong road to cross, and I was misled about the chicken's
intentions. I am not for it now, and will remain against it.

NANCY GRACE:
That chicken crossed the road because he's GUILTY! You can see it in his eyes and the way he walks.

PAT BUCHANAN:
To steal the job of a decent, hardworking American.

MARTHA STEWART:
No one called me to warn me which way that chicken was going. I had a standing order at the Farmer's Market to sell my eggs when the price dropped to a certain level. No little bird gave me any insider
information.

DR SEUSS:
Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes, the
chicken crossed the road, but why it crossed I've not been told.

ERNEST HEMINGWAY:
To die in the rain. Alone.

GRANDPA:
In my day we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Somebody told us the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough.

BARBARA WALTERS:
Isn't that interesting? In a few moments, we will be listening to the
chicken tell, for the first time, the heart warming story of how it
experienced a serious case of molting, and went on to accomplish its
life long dream of crossing the road.

ARISTOTLE:
It is the nature of chickens to cross the road .

JOHN LENNON:
Imagine all the chickens in the world crossing roads together, in peace.

BILL GATES:
I have just released eChicken2007, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your check book. Internet Explorer is an integral part of the Chicken. This new platform is much more stable and will never cra...#@&&^(C% ......... reboot.

ALBERT EINSTEIN:
Did the chicken really cross the road, or did the road move beneath the chicken?

BILL CLINTON:
I did not cross the road with THAT chicken. What is your definition of
chicken?

AL GORE:
I invented the chicken!

COLONEL SANDERS:
Did I miss one?

DICK CHENEY:
Where's my gun?

AL SHARPTON:
Why are all the chickens white? We need some black chickens.

Woodies CCI Club and the AutoTrader experiment.

The second attempt....that is right the second attempt, meaning that the first one fell out of the sky in a ball of red fire, has ended. After just 20 trading days of the much to do AutoTrader it has been pulled from the market. Started on May 1 and traded on just Monday thru Thursday it lasted a whole 5 weeks, during this period of time a fee of $200.00 for just the "privilege" of using the AutoTrader, not sure who gets this money ...cough cough!!!! Then the broker did ok, with an average of around $16.20 a day in fees that comes in around $350.00 during this experiment.

Now no one would have a problem with the $200.00 or the $350.00 if one thing had occurred.......Starting back in May 1st the account had $5,000.00 in it to be traded, but on June 5th it only had around $3,950.00 and heading for a margin call for sure......that means that this system lost $1,150.00 in just 22 days or about 23%of it value. If it had made 23% during this period no one would mind paying all those fees....RIGHT???????

People over the past 6 years or so have sent emails complaining about the WoodiesCCIClub.com system and asking questions about if I had made it work for me. People have sent emails crying for help because they are at the end after spending time in the Woodies CCI Club. I guess now you can see that it wasn't you as much as the basic idea is not valid that is preached endlessly in their chat room. DrBob had the right idea in moving out to the 50, but that wasn't part of the Master's plan so DrBob had to leave.....along with so many others that found problems and were told to do that way or to leave.........

I wonder just how many people signed up to watch their hard earned money just disappear almost daily until the thing was pulled. Now, Woodie was talking yesterday about how over the summer months the system didn't work as well as other times of the year. YIKES, if this was a good period......holy crapola batman. So it's back to the drawing board for more research as the new version will be using range bars with the CCI patterns. I personally loved it when it was all about the Hank & Cindy bars as few years ago. Hold it, they didn't work either.

He also was talking about the fact that you can't go on just weekly or monthly stats......I guess not, after what we saw here......and both times..

Online Workshop Day #6 and or 7 thru 9.......

Well everyone made it back home safe and sound and for that we can all be thankful....there just might be another workshop coming up in the fall....this one will be called the "Family ReUnion", instead of cold sounding Trading Workshop.....so stay tuned.

During the workshop I offered the indicators that I use to anyone that doesn't have them already and several of you have asked for them. Also, there have been a flood of emails from thanking my family and myself, everyone that helped, to what a great place to live and so on. I will personally answer them all, but most likely next week. The emails have calmed down from nearly 250 per day just before the workshop to 150 after the workshop.....and that is per day...WOW.

I have a business trip on Friday afternoon that will take me to SFO for the weekend, sour dough bread and fresh roast beef with yellow mustard.....heaven...just pure heaven. But I will be flying back on the red eye Sunday and hopefully to back online right after lunch......did someone say lunch?????

My back and leg have recovered and the goldens have stopped smelling around the house for food. It was funny when Scooter kept walking around Brian looking at him and smelling a mile a minute. Brian finally admitted to having a Milky Way bar in his shirt pocket......:) Before the workshop I couldn't sleep more then about 3-4 hours thinking about everything that could go wrong......well I am rested again and ready for whatever life brings.

Alot of you are sitting by your computers, working thru the manuals, waiting for the holy grail email to come and it hasn't.....BUT IT WILL...it's just there are a really lot of them......and they keep coming.....:)

Remember....the FAMILY REUNION THIS FALL....maybe during Oktoberfest now wouldn't that be a RIOT........everyone with a hangover each morning.....:)

The Woodies CCI Club and donations.....

I have published a number of blog updates about the "donations" from the WoodiesCCIClub.com to the Make-a-Wish foundation and for a long long time it was talked about, it was promised, but somehow it just never was verified. It's wasn't verified by Ken Wood, TonyUK or Susan now could it be verified from the charity itself. It seems that everytime I feel like letting the WoodiesCCIClub.com drift off into the dark, one of their moderators needs to bust on me personally. Well that is OK, after all you weren't there in the beginning and you also still belief in all the slogan and the pitch, and that is OK TOO.....

During the workshop this past weekend, we talked about "purpose" and the conversation ended up by saying, this next week or two you will be tested to the Nth degree to see if you are going to advance to the next level. Of course, I am talking about life in general and not just trading.....it seems interesting that at this point in time, a moderator from the WoodiesCCIClub was to stir up trouble. But that is OK TOOOOOOO.

The post on the blog makes reference to a donation that he must have made, or maybe several, to Make-a-Wish and the fact that his name wasn't included in the "Masters" list. And sure enough it's not included and for good reason. When you make a donation like to Make-a-Wish you can if you like make it in honor of someone. A nephew, niece, a friends child and so on, if you choose. However, the receipt for the gift donation is given to the person who actually gave the money to the foundation for a number of reason, including a taxable donation. A letter is sent to the donor thanking them for the gift and providing details that the accountant will use to take that taxable donation.

The nephew, niece, a friends child and so on...can't take the taxable donation just the donor who gave it. So therefore, it would not be included in the "Masters List"
since it came from another person or entity. I personally gave over 30k to Make-a-Wish and got the receipts to proof it, if needed, those donations were made in honor of Ken Wood and the WoodiesCCIClub.com. We had lunch at his Country Club, ate apple dumplings, and spent the day....TWICE. During those lunches Jennifer Rossie (from MAW)came out and I handed a blown up check from myself to Make-a-Wish, but the blown up check said, The Woodies CCI Club....there were blog updates on this, there were 30people present at the time, and Make-a-Wish sent me the letters to serve as a taxable receipt.

This is why my name is not up there either, well there may be other reasons, but that is another story. I didn't give the money to Ken Wood or the WoodiesCCIClub.com or anyone attached to the club, I gave it directly to Make-a-Wish and the kids are sure glad about that I have to think.

"SO TRY THIS"....well now I think you have some kinda answer. But if you gave it directly to Kenny, well then, you might need to talk to him about why your name isn't actually included there...eSignal is.

Online Workshop Day #5, the final total.....:)

The final numbers are in and here they are, the Sevier County Humane Society reported a total of $18,420.00

The Mountain Hope Clinic reported in at $19,445.00.

Today the Smokey Mountain Boy and Girls Club reported that they had received a total of $26,811.00. HOLY GRAIL BATMAN.......

That brings the total for the workshop from both the onliners and attendees to a WHOOPING TOTAL OF $64,676.00. Think about that, about 65K was raised by everyone from every walk of life, from every corner of the world as there were onliners from Europe, South America, South Africa, the Pacific rim and Australia all coming together on this dang world wide web. You can all be proud that here in East Tennessee you have helped....maybe in a small way, but each step counts...and so does each deed........

Thank you all for everything you have done, from Haytol watching the chat room during the workshop, Won and Jackson watching to make sure TradingRoomsAcademy stayed up and running, RMK setting everything up, from David giving comps for the Comedy Barn, The Eagle Foundation, Black Bear Caterers, Kevin and his band of hillbillies, to those who carried chairs, you did a great job in helping out.

Of course, I have to thank my wife.....:) for getting up early and helping to park cars and my daughters for printing manuals, setting everything up so we could all enjoy the workshop. I have to also thank Scooter for stealing that half of a donut off my stool, because I might not really need it.....:)

I know you all think that you might have gotten more from the workshop then I did, but in reality I received far more, because of the purpose. Bless all of you and in everything you do and touch......:)

Online Workshop Day #5, everyone back home

As of today, everyone has made it back home safe and sound, the final total will be coming out soon....and I think it's will be a good number......:)

Online Workshop Day #4

You can click on the picture to read the email about how the Sevier County Humane Society received a total of $18,670.00 from both the online attendees and those who made the journey to the mountain.

Also the different charities are now learning it's not about how much they can raise for themselves, but how working together and respecting each other there can be even a bigger reward. Sometimes even I am surprised at how things work out at times and how people that have a "purpose" can do amazing things on this blue marble......

Today I ended up winding down and getting some long needed sleep, for the past 6 days my life has been about the workshop, today it was about all the other noise out there that goes on everyday.

I have been asked some many times, "Why, do you do what you do?" and the short answer is from the quote of George Bernard Shaw that Robert Kennedy would use to end a speech, "Some men see things as they are and ask why. Others dream things that never were and ask why not."

I guess I am just a dreamer........

Online Workshop Day #3

I really want to personally thank everyone that joined this workshop, both those who came to the mountain and those who viewed it online. Next time, we will have a better video feed by replacing the webcams with digital cameras and so we learn.

The fellow that owns the Black Bear Jamboree along with other theaters in the area comped everyone that wanted to go to the Comedy Barn for a show last night, today there were those Comedy Barn T-shirts all over the place.... :)

A fellow even wore a T-shirt from the Final Four Women's Basketball Championship games in Tampa this year.......I was impressed.....:)

Then several fellows wanted a picture taken with me...I should have known sometime was up because they were all Gator Fans. As I walked away I turned back to give them a smart reply to a joke when I saw they had hung a Gator Flag over the second floor deck......:)

Folks sent flowers to my wife and daughter to say thank you for hosting the workshop and also for a great event overall, the dinner, band and Logan who sang for them. Scooter, Thumper and Boomer who kept them entertained the whole three days......:)

The American Eagle Foudation bought over several birds so everyone could see how they work with the birds including a balded eagle........:)

Homemade peach cobbler and banana puddin was enjoyed by everyone, along with iced tea and pizza.

One of the funniest things was as I started the day, I had a KKD donut in my hands that I took a bite out of, I sat it down on the stool and as I said, "You know this is the first time I have had one of these donuts this year," my golden named Scooter came over to the stool, put a leg up on the foot part of the stool, leaned in and took the rest of the donut......the people in the first two rows laughed...alot...:)

The Mountain Hope Clinic has sent an email saying that they received $19,445.00 from both the attendees and the onliners......WOW.

I hope and pray that you found a nugget....just one nugget in your journey that will help you in your trading or even in the bigger picture your life.......maybe not the holy grail, just a nugget that can give you an edge. Today, I shut the mic off for a few minutes so I could talk to those who traveled so far..........about PURPOSE. In the coming weeks I hope to also put that in print.......what was said, not in the raw form, but I can only hope in a well written form that can speak to you about PURPOSE.

Again thank you for all the love and support you have shown not only my wife during her difficult time, but my family also.....you guys are the best friend I could have.

BE SAFE

Online Workshop Day #2

The attendees were wide eyed today as we moved thru the internals, talked about the $PREM, $TCIK and $TIKI, some even got goosebumps. The MarkB talked about fibonacci levels, retracements and timing. It wasn't until we had a work study on the Black Bar indicator that Mittens got wide eyes, there was talk about changing the name to the Black Bear Indicator since Boomer kept running around barking at the woods. But think we might change it to the Bolze Bar Indicator......ROTFL.

Tomorrow at 8:45am we will start the last day as the ladies from the local charities show up with their best sales pitch, they currently are sitting on around $23,000.00 from the online folks, so stay tuned......

Also pray for the trend day...... :)

Woodies CCI Club Autotrader week 4

Well, it's been a month since the AutoTrader started trading that $5,000.00 real account live according to the info on the Woodies CCI Club website. On Thursday, after commissions, NFA fees, OTE fees and that $200.00 to be part of it fee, well we are down to $4,370.97. That is about a 12.6% drawdown on the account for the month of May, I still don't know why Mr. Wood just doesn't trade it himself instead of this computer assisted stuff anyways.

With about 12 bucks a day for commissions and figuring that there were 17 trading days this month, (they don't trade on Friday) that would be about 200 plus for commission and then two hundred a month fee for using the AutoTrader, I can see why the broker might be interested in this. Of course, I would have to think that if the dang thing made....say 2,000 for the month who would care about having to cough up 400 bucks.......BUT..........
