Woodies CCI Club and the latest twist........

So I get email all the time about this and that from people that I never met or most likely never will, you can click on the email to read it if you like. But the bottom line is pretty simple in my opinion.

My response is easy, do they have actual broker statements, certified to be true and factual and that real money was traded in the account or was it a sim account like Steve Matrix tried to pull off a while back....see archives.

What is the drawdown if they do have actual statements, it important to understand that you might have to suffer thru a period of drawdowns until the system turns around and becomes a winner again. Now, it doesn't matter what BSski they say, ALL SYSTEMS HAVE DRAWDOWNS, just ask around. If the drawdown is 25% then the question is can you live with that or what if it's 30%. If you can't then the answer is clear....DON'T!!!

Has the system been submitted to Future Truth for review? You can click on the title to go to their website to check and see if the system has been tested by them, who provide an independent review. If it hasn't then the question would be WHY NOT??

Then the last question is who controls the funds, is it setup for a discretionary trader to just trade the funds or are the funds thrown into a pot and stirred around, who trades it and what is their background and so on.

As far as Make-a-Wish, I can only say that Ken Wood and TonyUK have put on at least 3 maybe 4 of these TAL a year since 2003. They took in 30k at the door in Chicago, I was there. They had over 120 people in CA later in the year but they had to pay for the room, internet and so on there, I was there also....but still we are talking about 40k at least. You can call The Make-a-Wish Foudation at (800) 722-WISH (9474) and ask them just how much money the Woodies CCI Club donated.....now not what people gave in honor of Ken Woods, but what the Club gave in their own name. Ken Woods has made claims in the past of over 100k given and that he is a personal friend of the President of the Foundation since it's located in Phoenix just down the road from where he lives.

PFG made two donations from the first two TAL after they worked a deal out with Woodie to promote their brokeage firm, but that seems to have dried up. The deal is live and well as they will be the official AutoTrader firm.....hummmmm.

But in the end, you have to believe in it...but only after doing some homework, but this should be about any investment and it doesn't matter what it would be...real estate, new business startup, antiques, coins, stamps, wine or stocks and futures or a CD down at the local bank......RIGHT?????.

So people see things as they are and ask why???

You can read the article by clicking on the picture....:)

Well, right after the workshop we started putting the finishing touches on the Oktoberfest event for the United Way. We had 7 kegs of Oktoberfest beer and 25 cases of German beer from Beck all the way up to Warsteiner and we even manage to have some Heineken chilling.

Walnut cakes and Shoo-fly pie....TastyKakes and pretzels flown in from Philly....Lebanon Bologna and Johnson Brats...Sausages grilled to perfection...Pork and kraut with mashed potatoes were all spread out over the buffet table...yep we were all set.

The German band all decked out their outfits...and girls decked out to keep the place tidy....and of course, the girls had their Heidi outfits on....yep we were all set.

Tables and chairs with blue table cloths, center pieces done in steins, beer banners and posters were all hung around, 48 Bavarian Flags and a couple of German flags were also hung around the property...yep we were all set.

The United Way volunteers were at the front door to check people in, so no one got a free ride. The auction items were placed just after you walked in so you could view them before moving downstairs......yep we were all set, it was 5:30pm.

Now it hadn't rained here for several weeks, it seems like months but it was really only a couple of weeks. The amount of rain for the year...well, we are down 13 and a half inches. But there they were.....rain clouds, dark, thick, rain clouds. It started to rain around 5:30 and just enough to make everything wet, soak the table cloths and so on. During this time, a lot of people that had paid to come just didn't.......

But those who came had a blast, the band played until 10:00pm. The cake and pies disappeared along with the brats. They danced to the chicken dance and sang songs that I thought they didn't even know. The stein auction was interesting, as we had put $5,000.00 cash in one stein along with prizes in all the other ones. Some had great prizes and some didn't but since you didn't know which one had what, well it was interesting.

So as the evening came to a close, yes we could have had more people come I guess, but the ones that did went away full of food and good beer.

During the last 6 days, with having the workshop and then the Oktoberfest we raised the following:

1. Virgil came to workshop and won the shark race...a cool $10,000.00 and gave it all back to the United Way "IF" they would do just one thing.....hang a Gator flag over my third floor deck during the Oktoberfest....well we had a lot of fun with that.

2. The attendees at the workshop wrote a total of $42,000.00 to three local charities that I support locally. The Mountain Hope Good Shepard Clinic, The Boys and Girls Club of the Smoky (Gatlinburg building fund) and the Humane Society of Seiver County.

3. The United Way had it's second biggest event ever this year during Oktoberfest and raised $32,000.00 which support all kinds of agencies locally.

4. Chip, who won the beer stein auction and the cool $5,000.00 also gave it back to the United Way, now how cool is that and you wonder why I do what I do, it's because of the great people I know.

That comes to a cool $89,000.00 but I have read some comments about some that came to the workshop might have be a little cheap. The idea, agreement or even covenant was that I would show you exactly how I trade, define the trend, triggers and how i would develop a trading plan by doing research and so on and in exchange the attendees would open their hearts and stroke a check to my favorite local charities.

Now some could stroke a check for $10,000 and not blink an eye, while others just don't have anything to spare. But the amount was between you and God, not between you and me. People came to the workshop so they could find answers that would allow them to move to the next level. In the bible, there is a story about how people would go to the temple and as they entered they would drop their offering into this steel chamber, of course, it made noise as the coins rolled around. An old women came in and placed what would be about 2 cents in todays money and seeing this Jesus came over and laid his hand on her and blessed her. The reason was that she had given all she had with a pure heart while the others gave to make a show.

So it's doesn't matter to me, what was given, I don't even what to know who gave what because again it's not between you and me. Those who came and believe that they can go home and use it effective are blinded by greed. We have had a chat room up and running since the workhshop for those who attended. Of the 74 people that came only about 52 have been in the chat room...WHY???

Well, I have to believe that they are busy comparing their stuff to my stuff and working on how to get it to take them to the next level, do you think that will work? I personally doubt it. Over the past several days, we have been fine tuning the things I talked about for three days, well except for that long I took off the low at 3:32 today without warning, but after 5 days of playing by the rules....I just had to take it when the ticks spike down on a double bottom......sorry

The people who came and gave their hard earned money (no matter what amount) to the charities I can only say .....A heart felt, THANK YOU SO MUCH, ya'll are the best.

The charities all say a GREAT BIG THANK YOU!!!

You can click on the letter to make it larger so you can read it.....:)

The deal was....I would put on a workshop and instead of charging a fee, I said, that all you needed to do was open your heart and write a check for what you believed would be right and just.

Here is the letter from Jane at the Humane Society, you remember Jane...she was in the presentation at the Woodies CCI Club World Universal Conference held in Las Vegas back in December of 2003. Wow, that was a long time ago...wasn't it????

Well, as time has moved forwarded we discovered that Traders helping Traders, Lighting someone elses candle doesn't take away from yours, there will be better trades down the road and of course....we donate all the money left over from the TAL to MAW has only been a smoke and mirror, dog and pony show. Jane was there as was the fellow from the Eagle Foundation, The Bear Center, Dolly Foundation and hell I even had one of the largest donors from Make-A-Wish come to Vegas and speak about her grandson and what MAW meant to her and her family.

What a waste, to have the right message only to have the wrong messenger, those who have come and seen, in person, understand completely when they visited my office and saw the mantle over the fireplace. It's of the market, of course, with the NYSE cut out in wood, a bear, a bull and chart patterns running on both sides of the NYSE. On the bottom of the mantle there a some traders waving their hands and ticker tape laying across the front of the NYSE building. In that tape is a message and it reads.......KM 5 7/8....HD 25.......BMI 34 1/2.....JNJ 53 and so on, but the first one is the important one.......it reads CCI 666.

Why you might ask, because that is the "Mark of the Beast", and the "False Prophet" among other things I could think of.....but it tells a lot. The Woodies CCI Club and Ken Wood could have been the best thing since peanut butter and chocolate found their way inside a candy wrapper, but instead he and Tony choice the dark side of things. Having Tony fly over the pond was never about just hooking up the internet....it was about talking privately "after hours", it was about being face to face and talking business at the expense of the attendees and "the kids". We all know now, that "The Kids" were never in the mix, but it does sound good...doesn't it.

Back in 2003, I got a lot of shit from the Woodies CCI Club and all thru 2004, but if you look back, I am exactly what I was back then....nothing more...and nothing less. Just a person who wanted to help others, share ideas and network with traders, I didn't sell out for a few pieces of gold, and once I figured the truth out....I WAS OUT OF THERE!!!!!!

I enjoy doing a workshop for a number of reasons, but one of them isn't to make a living, to sell books, t-shirts, coffee mugs, trade-a-longs, advanced trade-a-longs, provide a platform so other can sell their wares, click thrus, promote data providers and of course a "preferred" broker.

The people that attended the educational workshop and trade-a-long came with an open mind, watched and got some ideas to study at home after the market close, they met other traders and shared war stories, met new people so they could develop new friends, and they watched as I traded live with all the problems of trading live in front of a group of people, in unfamiliar surrounding, people asking questions, people talking and walking around, the news media was there for the upcoming Oktoberfest and phone calls. They came, they saw and there wasn't any smoke and mirrors.

I have to thank everyone that wrote a check to my favorite local charities, you showed me the value of good friends and for that I am so blessed...THANK YOU ALL!!!

The workshop in the mountains.....what does a red bar mean???

Well, it was Saturday morning when we started talking about trading, the conference tables were to be 18 inches wide, but ended up being 30 inches. Now 12 inches doesn't mean much unless you need 6 rows and end up with only 5 rows of tables. So needless to say we were close during this three day adventure into the wacky world of trading. I had made a wall 12 feet high and 24 feet wide out of drywall so I could walk back and forth without having to fall over the projection screens like in Denver 2005. Which worked out nicely since the group had moved about 3 feet closer then I was planning.

During a break, everyone got the chance to tour the house, but the first thing you had to do was hike up the stairs......

After the workshop on Saturday, we had a cookout for the gang, ribs and beans with cornbread was the order of the day. A couple friends of mine came over and played some good ole mountain music. The bar was open upstairs and several enjoyed draft beer and some good ole German beer that was for Oktoberfest....:) The party lasted until about 9pm.

The Amercian Eagle Foundation brought over some of it's bird that they are taking care of. These birds at one time had been injured and couldn't take care of themselves. A balled eagle was also here and will have pics of him as soon as I can find the transfer cable...:)

Well, as you can see I was on the phone while we were trading on Monday...the reason was that coach Fulmer called and asked if I would like to join him for breakfast on Saturday before the game. The reason was, the University wanted to give me a pin in honor of me be coming a member of the Victor Society. Of course, I said.....YEA BABY.

The workshop went as planned except for an opening marcos BSski from TS, but we got it straighten out and traded the rest of the day...simple as that.

Live or Die by your data feed.....

During the workshop we talked about a trend day and LBR ideas....about if the market opened at one end of the range (20%) and closed at the other end of the range that day and then if the $tick closed above 400...that there was an 87% chance the market would trade higher the next day....yada yada yada.

I have had a couple comments about the ticks not closing above 400 but at a lower number....which brings up another problem. I have posted the chart of the $ticks on Monday with a circle at the close and if you look over to the left you can see the value. The problem is, your data provider, your internet connection, your computer and all the crap you have loaded up on it.....like Hotcomm or other chat rooms and so on. I can only trade with what I see on my charts at the time I see them and can't run around the neighborhood seeing if everyone else has the same data.

The comment said, that after checking back.....and I went....WOW, someone is actually going and doing a back study of an idea to see if there is something there for them to use.......I mean WOW. That was one of the theme of the workshop and people are already wearing out pencils drawing lines and making notes. This is GREAT.
Keep up the good work, because you are just this close to your own secret sauce....:)

EMAIL IS OUT THE DOOR

If you attended the workshop last weekend, an email has been sent with the info I promised. If you have not gotten it yet.....it's because Mittens is working for airfare back to AZ and fell asleep.....just send me an email and I'll get one of the goldens after her....:)

Also, if there is a problem, just email me and I'll get to it as soon as I can...my first job is taking care of the little women....my second job is trading...my third job is walking, petting and feeding the goldens....my fourth job is keep up with the kids.....and my fifth job is running the vac after the goldens....hair, hair, everywhere there is hair...my sixth job is getting ready for Halloween.......so you are on the list, just not a the top.......OK.

Kids gettin into it........

when I mentioned I was going to buy them dresses to wear for the Oktoberfest, of course, I heard a lot of complaining.......but I think they look pretty hot. The one of the left said, "WEll, Hiedi Ho." The one on the right said, "Yea, you are Hiedi and must be the Ho." Needless to say we have gone a lot of mileage out of that comment.......ROTFL!!!!

Try and get a 19 year old male into an outfit was easy, he asked what do you think it going to take for me to wear that outfit? I replied, "A new set of tires." He gets them on Monday......ROTFL.

But we had a blast at the party and I'll post a very very interesting picture once I get some sleep.....and how did you like that rally today, you should have gotten a few easy points.........hehe

the name of the song playing is the clarinet polka, by the way.

OK, now......I luve you guys too.......BUT!!!

Ok, now for those who were here last weekend, you know that I would do anything I can to help you become who you would like........BUT.

We have found stuff all over the house, little bags of this and that and don't know where it came from....:)
The florist wore himself out on Tuesday and Wednesday driving up to the house with the most beautiful flowers arrangements for my wife......:)

UPS has been bring boxes of chocolate and other goodies all week.

We even found a Christmas tree ornament in our mail box....wonder who that was....:)

We are blown away with all the things that you folks have done and emailed me, and the weekend was great. Monday was a little !_)!*$^!)*$^_!$^@^!*!#%~&(%#)%, but by 11:00am we had gotten our feet on the ground.....

THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING...........from the bottom of all our hearts, we love you also.

So we talked about SYMMETRY......

We are now within 18 hours of the start of OKTOBERFEST and everything is ready, well everything on today's list is done, tomorrow it's go get the kegs and hook them up and a zillion other things. Now during my research of beer is kegs, years of it actually, there are two kinds of keg taps....American and European. So it's important to have the right tap, but it's more important to understand where the beer is brewed in the first place.

As I look over my list of a hundred things for tomorrow, the Philly pretzels are somewhere in a FedEx terminal looking for a plane ride along with TastyKakes. Now if there are some amateurs out there who might not understand dessert...... then just go to

http://snackcakesonline.com/catalog/index.php

and check it out.......there are the best.

40 family pack bags of those cooked in lard thickly sliced potato chips salted just right to make ya want to drink at least 3 liters per bag...Lebanon Bologna and Extra Sharp Longhorn cheese.......and let's not forget the shoo-fly pie....

Brats and sausage on a toasted bun with mashed potatoes and kruat........and good ole German potato salad.....well good grief.

Oh yea, and the beer...lots and lots of beer, which is now in the cooler and chilling down..
It should be an event....picture on Friday.....:)

The biggest party of the year........

Well, less then 24 hour before over 800 people will be heading for the mountain...as the Oktoberfest starts.......with German music, food and lots and lots of "drink". This event has raised over $60,000.00 just in ticket sales and people who couldn't come this year have spent in their donation to the United Way. This event will feature over 7 different German beers that where brewed for Oktoberfest and 12 kegs of "other" brands.....:)

A women and men beer stein holding contest, the chicken dance are all on tap for tomorrow night, but I think the highlight will be the beer stein auction. With orginal old painting from Vern Heppenstill, Jim Gary and Robert Tino, 7 day vacation in Aruba, a cruise, and a $5,000 cash will be placed in different steins and auctioned off. Now, no one will know which stein contains what prize....when you are the winning bidder, you come up front, pick out a stein and put your name on it.
Once all the steins are gone, then there will be a 5 minute horse trading period if someone wants to switch theirs, should be interesting.

Within 3 hours of the workshop ending, the projection screens came down and things went into high gear...trying to finish everything today......OK tomorrow morning.

We are waiting for a final count on the donations made from the workshop and should have that tommorrow. Also will be sending out the indicators to attendees this weekend if you emailed me....:)

For those at the workshop....doesn't this just bite?

No need to make a mile long comment, I'll just go and bang my head against some drywall.......ROTFL!!!!

A 20 dollar investment turns into a wind fall....but that is only half the story

GATLINBURG - A man visiting Sevier County for a conference won the $10,000 grand prize in the Great Gatlinburg Shark Race by a rubber nose - or tail.

More than 4,700 rubber sharks bounced and bobbled their way downstream to Ripley's Aquarium of the Smokies, where one of Virgil Kapp's two sharks edged the second place competition in a photo finish.

Kapp was in town for a day trading conference hosted by Dennis Bolze, who will be hosting another event for United Way this week with an Oktoberfest celebration this Thursday. He bought his sharks Saturday from volunteers who came by the Pancake Pantry.

"It's been quite a week," he said. With the water still low from this year's drought, officials decided to put the sharks in the water closer to the finish line.
"I think it makes it more exciting if everyone sees the sharks going in the water," said Jon Elder, events coordinator for the city.

The sharks made a colorful wave as they bunched up together starting out, but a few pulled away from the pack as they made it into faster water.
A crowd gathered to see if their shark won started to cheer as two came to the finish line close enough to make it an exciting finish.

With the sharks selling for $10 a piece, along with donation jars set up in different places, United Way officials were still tallying the proceeds Saturday afternoon. "We're still doing the totals, but we feel like we raised a lot of money today," Chairman Steve Layman said.

Virgil told us after we received the check that he and his wife have decided to give the money back to the United Way.....which speaks volumes about what kind of a person he is......what have you done lately and you wonder why you don't receive any blessing......hummmmmm. Virgil, I personally don't know what to say, I only hope that God continues to bless you and all of your family each and every day.

Buy on Blue and Sell on Red from eASCTrend Indicator

Well, just how much better can this get, BUY ON BLUE and then just trail that good ole stop using the blue line.....I'm RICH Charlie Brown....I'm RICH.

Looking closely at those blue lines, I see 4 spots where the price hit or went below those magic bean lines.....so what am I to think? Maybe those ghost traders over in the Woodies CCI Club and tell me how that works.......other then just being magic, you know....

Hangover from a Trend day....

Starting on Friday before the workshop even started, I was talking about Monday being two things, a trend day and a trend day with an upwards bias. I learned from LBR about defining a trend day, opening at the lower end (long) of the range and closing at the upper end of that days range. In fact, you even have to have had the open to be within the 20% of the daily range and the close to be within the top 20%.

Well, first of all, my ideas of it being a trend day and with an upwards bias seemed to have nailed the market......around 3:00pm I started talking and talking about the $TICK. If the $TICK closed above 400 when NYSE closed the odds are that we would trade higher the next day eithty-seven percent of the time. Well, when the big board closed the tick reading was 440. This meant, a trader could hold overnight...maybe not a full position, but you could hold something....according to your trading plan and money management rules.....

Well, this morning, sure enough the market even gapped up and continued to move higher during the first hour and even moved to a new high later in the day.....so, IF you see a trend day and the tick close above 400 (in this case) and you don't hold overnight....you do have a heads up for tomorrow.....LOOK TO BE A BUYER....

Check it out, because a trend occures about twice a month.....

WOW, what a day

The three day Educational Workshop in the mountains of Tennessee ended today....most know I can easily talk for three straight days about trading to say the least. As night falls over the mountains, with a bum left knee, a stiff back, one sore left eye and a shot voice.......all I can say is HOLY CRAP BATMAN.

I will be writing about it, from my view point over the next week or so....after I got some sleep and spend a lot of time in the hot tub. But there were some amazing moment over the past three days and the great people who traveled here to let me share some ideas about trading with them.

Now is not the time to talk about some things, but the way everyone treated my wife who at the present time is having chemo treatment for breast cancer was just overwhelming to all of us....and we appreciate the effort everyone made....help cleaning up after it was over to helping setup the lunch buffet while my daughter took her for her treatment today.....

I hope out of all this, comes a new approach for us who trade in this lonely world of chasing our dreams will surface. With no hidden agenda, just buds getting together to share stories, ideas and become a trading community.....won't that be great??????

Copy red leader....we have wheels up.....

A thousands of day traders start their journey to the hills of Tennessee, we are still printing manuals and trying to find the internet cables in the workshop area, now I know when we were building this joint that I personally ran those wires, but today....no clue.

the phone has been ringing as traders actually began arriving as early as Wednesday, WOW, what were they thinking. At 10:00am the tables and chairs are still missing and the CO2 tank for the kegalators are empty.......ain't going to have any beer at this point..... we might just have to talk about trading......:)

Updates tomorrow as this puppy gets off the ground....anyone seen my power point laser light thingie......this might be Mission Impossible.....

Well we are down to a week from now........but here are some questions

Would you like to share a rental car from the airport....email me and I will forward info to you....

Also would you like to share a condo with someone else......2 bedroom available.... email me and I will forward info to you......

Golf on Friday afternoon if you get in early....email me for details.....let's get ready to rummmmmmbllllleeeeeee........

Anyone want to play a round of golf on Friday????

If you are coming into town early Friday and want to play a round of golf...just let me know and we will get a foursome together........

What should I read.....if anything for the upcoming workshop?

Thousands of emails have coming pouring into the universal world trading command center the past few days. What should I read, where can I find stuff and read up for the educational workshop coming up at the end of the month.

Well, if you have to read something this book is really the only one I would suggest other then the ones by Mark Douglas of course. Now in this book you wouldn't find anything about the Woodies CCI Club and how he invented it. You wouldn't find any info on any of the 23 setups currently being used nor will you get the lastest greatest research to stay ahead of the world. This book is older then dirt, and is boring to read, but having said that......it a great book for trading.

Now you don't have to buy the book, I have a copy you can read here.....trouble is there are no pictures other then a couple of charts so it's boringggggggg.........

Leave it to a Marine to get in trouble again!!!

The train was pretty crowded as a U.S. Marine walked up and down looking for a seat. The only seat open was taken by Joan Blades of MoveOn.org and her poodle. The war-weary Marine, asked, “Ma’am, may I have that seat?” She just snorted, looked at him, as if he were dirt and said to no one imparticular, “Military bomb throwing types like you are so rude, can’t you see my little Libby is using that seat.”

The Marine walked the entire train, again, but the only available seat was under that dog. “If you don’t mind ma’am, this is the only seat available, I’m on short leave to see my family and I’m plum tired.” “She looked him up and down and yelled, “Not only are you rude and arrogant but who the hell do you think you are just because you wear a uniform.” “The Marine didn’t say a word, but simply picked up the dog and threw it out the window of the moving train. Miss Blades went hysterical, “Is there not a man on this train who will defend my rights?”

Finally, an English gentleman sitting nearby spoke up, “Sir, you Yanks often seem to have an extraordinary penchant for doing the wrong thing. You hold your fork in the wrong hand, you drive automobiles on the wrong side of the road, and now sir you seem to have actually thrown the wrong bitch out the window.”

Mittens is packed and ready.........for the workshop

Mittens has decided to come to the workshop after all, she doesn't want anyone to know from the Woodies CCI Club so she is hiding out for now. So, if you are at the Knoxville airport waiting for your bags to come down the ramp....and see one drop off the carousel....and hear a meow. Well, you'll know who is inside....ROTFL.

All is set for the workshop and it's FULL......100% sell out....
So NOW let's partieeeeeeeeee.....I mean let's trade it up.....:)

Kiss my Grits...........

Two tourists were driving through Tennessee and stopped for a bite to eat at Bugscuffle. As the waitress approached their table, they asked her "Before we order, can you settle an argument and pronounce where we are really slowly...?

"The blonde waitress leaned over and said "Burrrrr Gurrrrrr King".
JAB

Mittens from the Woodies CCI Club and a chair......

Not sure why she wants on there,
after all it's just a chair so who would care.

But it's the last chair in there,
the workshop is almost full that why she cares.

Mittens talks in her sleep,
about not being just a sheep.

That's why she checks her email,
trying to find that holy grail.

Soon well we all be there,
hope she doesn't shed any hair on there.....:)

Remember ..........always remember!!!!!!!

BW: Hmm.What about Speaker Pewosi?
BO: Same thing Barbara, we used to call it peyote.

BW: Is it twue you are very fond of Opwa?
BO: Yes, Michelle and I go as often as possible, of course, my schedule at the moment limits the amount of free time we have.
BW: When I’m in Chicago I try to do lunch with her…
BO: …One of our favorites is Die Fledermaus.
BW: I’m not familiar with that. Is that Dearborn and Harrison?
BO: No, Johann Strauss.
BW: Are you alwight on the campaign twail?
BO: No, I’m very proud of my black heritage on my father’s side and always will be.
BW: When your lovely wife Michelle is awound, you seem vewy wight headed.
BO: Far from it, I’m totally comfortable in the skin God gave me.
BW: We will be wight back after this word from our sponsor Wincoln Continental who weminds you to dwive wesponsibly.

(Off camera)
Barack Obama whispers to his wife,” I’m blowing this interview, I don’t understand her, she talks like Congressman Barney Frank or that Elmer Fudd. “Michelle whispers back, “Just remember, every time she pronounces a word starting with ‘w’ it really means the word starts with ‘l’ or ‘r’ and you’ll do fine.”

BW: Welcome back… Senator, you look like you’re in fantastic shape.
BO: I am Barbara, I consider health and fitness among the top priorities and it will be in my administration.
BW: When did you last get weighed?
BO: Ah… that is a rather personal question…ah, but let me assure you Michelle and I have a very healthy relationship.
BW: I’m sure our viewers would like to know what kind of scale it was, bathroom, bedroom, motel, penny arcade?
BO: Hmmm...the scale we use is between one and ten.
BW: Ha! You’re good!
BO: Well, thank you.
BW: You and your beautiful wife Michelle are young and in tune with the current generation, do you worry what inflwuence wappers may have on your two daughters?
BO: No, I can honestly say I not overly concerned about lappers. Most of these dancers are at adult clubs and are not a threat to the general public and in particular to our young children.
BW: What about some of the words they use, does that not concern you?
BO: Come on Barbara, they just say sweet nothing to some one who’s probably had too much to drink. I’m more concerned and so should our nation about the lyrics in some of these rap songs that our youngsters are exposed to day in and day out.
BW: This is very personal to you, I know, and I’m sure you’ve reflected on it for quite some time, what do think of civil wights today?
BO: Well, as you know I am a smoker and I prefer Menthol Lights. I don’t care if people prefer Marlboro lights, Camel lights, Civil lights or whatever brand. Now let me add, that smoking is bad, and I’m trying to quit. “Smoke ‘em if ya got ‘em”, is not cool anymore.
BW: Have you thought of any possible wunning mates if you should win the Democratic nomination?
BO: Heavens no Barabara, it’s much too early.
BW: Vewy true I took my time and everything was Whoopi after Wosie.
BO: I couldn’t have said it better my self.
BW: You have a fwight to New Hampshire, after our interview, is that cowect?
BO: That’s correct
BW: Could you tell us where you’ll be in case any of our viewers would like to see you.
BO: Sure Barbara thanks for the opportunity. I’ll be in Litchfield which isn’t to far from Wondonderry.
BW: Good wuck campaigning and we would wuve to have you back again.
BO: Thank you for having me and remember “every wote counts.”

(Whispers to Michelle, “I don’t believe what I just said, let’s get the hell outta here.” “I’m wight behind you dawing”.)

Well, well the workshop is about full.........

No one yet from the Woodies CCI Club has signed up for the educational workshop, but that doesn't surprise me. Woodie, himself, has remained quiet thru all this, but that doesn't surprise me either. Jimsy, Susan and GB and TonyUK are still at it and that doesn't surprise me at all. In fact, this past weekend we wrapped up the details and emailed them out and there are only 3 spots left.

What can you expect at this workshop, well first of all...RULES. Trading is about only two things,
1. Money Management
2. RULES

When you combine them within a certain element, then you can trade without fear. Because deep inside you...you'll know you are doing the right thing, at this moment in time and "you" are in full control. NO FEAR...NO GREED.

But getting the rules that "YOU" can live by is one of the biggest problems people face while trying to learn to trade intra-day. Which rules, what rules and how to get the right rules......that is what this workshop is all about.

Not some smoke and mirror dog and pony show, like our friends at the Woodies CCI Club likes to do at their TAL, but real rules and how to apply them in any market and any timeframe. We aren't going to try and front run the world by using the 29 minute chart to get in before those on the 30 minute and all that crapola and we aren't going to use a lagging indicator and pretend it leads so we can get in and let the world push it in our direction. Only to get our head handed back to us and then say..."HEY, don't worry be happy there are better trades down the road".

What that means is, we got in before you...and when you jumped in following us in the chat room so we got out for a 3 tick profit and you got crapped on, but "Great Trading Everyone."

The petal to the metal on the 29th......:)

One of the best singles ads ever printed:

"SINGLE BLACK FEMALE seeks male companionship, ethnicity unimportant. I'm a very good girl who LOVES to play. I love long walks in the woods, riding in your car (whatever make or model -- I'm not fussy), hunting, camping and fishing trips, cozy winter nights lying by the fire. Candlelight dinners will have me eating out of your hand. I'll be at the front door when you get home from work, wearing only what nature gave me. Call 503-898-xxxx, and ask for Daisy. I'll be waiting."

More than 15,000 men found themselves talking to the ASPCA about an 8-week-old Labrador retriever.

Michigan .......and they wanted a rematch of the Ohio State game.

So last year, Michigan played Ohio State in the "GAME OF THE YEAR" and lost...they also lost to the loser of the national title game, but that's another story. So they decide to play this little team from nowhere in North Carolina and even pay them like $700,000.00 to come and get pounded on......

Turns out the a field goal....just didn't make it thru and number 5 Michigan drops to the way side........and the cool part was that the PSU game was just getting over an the fans stayed there cheering for APP STATE......on the jumbo tron...

Life is funny at times.....isn't it....????

My husband is now working at Walmart as a greeter!!

A very loud, unattractive, mean-acting woman walked into Wal-Mart with her two kids, yelling obscenities at them all the way through the entrance.

The Wal-Mart Greeter said pleasantly, "Good morning,and welcome to Wal-Mart. Nice children you have there. Are they twins?"

The ugly woman stopped yelling long enough to say, "Hell no they aren't!" The older one's 9 and the other one's 7. Why the hell would you think they're twins? Are you blind, or just stupid?"

"I'm neither blind nor stupid, Ma'am,' replied the greeter. 'I just couldn't believe you got laidtwice. Have a good day and thank you for shopping at Wal-Mart."
Still love my ROSE colored glasses

There is a place for "everyone" at the workshop....

There was a post from MadTrader in the comment section this morning.......
Is this training education open to anyone, even newcomers to your circle of friends. Never been to one of those Woodie things before, sounds like that is probably a good thing. Also, how do we email you with questions or interest? I cannot find your email on this site. THANKS >>>>>>>

Great question, there was a time....in another place.....in fact it was far far away from today. The Woodies CCI Club had taken cash at the door for it's TAL, had found out the DAX wasn't making those 107,000 profits Woodie boosted about almost everyday back then.....it was before Gio and JeanYus....before TW....in fact even before a whole list of people where kicked out of the room for one reason or another. One day a fellow was kicked out because he had the same UserID as someone who had been kicked....wasn't his fault. But that's the way thing go over there day in and day out. After the April 2004 "incident" Woodie himself even sent out an email asking everyone to "come on back" all is forgiven....I did a blog update back then so this isn't something new....check out the archives.

ALL IS FORGIVEN, I will always remember that because it's easier to ask for forgiveness then it is, at times to do the right thing in the first place. COME ON BACK......and I will set up a room so you can talk about whatever you want...using the 9 minute chart to front run the 10 guys trading the 10 minutes....COME IN BACK Dr. Bob and you can talk about the 50 CCI setting.....COME ON BACK and you can talk about symmetry.......yada yada yada but NO ONE DID.

When my house burnt to the ground while under construction, Woodie sent me an email saying he was sorry "even after all the things that has happened". So the question that MadTrader asked is interesting. Interesting because everyone is welcome at my house...everyone...tall ones, short ones, wide ones and narrow ones. Rich ones and poor ones, doctors and lawyers to brick layer and dishwashers.....everyone......including all the newbies out there.....

SO WOODIE, if you want to come and enjoy a great weekend.....seeing a beautiful part of the country with a great heritage. If you want to enjoy some great southern hospitality and sharing of stories and tells.....if you want to give your input and share ideas about trading.....WELL, believe it or not.....

YOU ARE WELCOME IN MY HOME!!!!!!!!!!
