60 feet in the air is no place to work if you are....afraid to look down. Also 60 feet in the air is no place to go walking up the roof trusses but hey....they are all young yet.


The window system in the great is awesome to say the least, but we have to bend 2 by 12 board to fit the curve of the window, and this is no easy task. Here they have it wedged at the bottom right and are about to bend it in place.


A come-a-long was attached to the board and also down on bottom window frame which is steel....and crank crank it goes....


Once it is in place and without cutting grooves in the 2x6, they are ready to start to attach it.


Screwed in the wood frame what was placed inside the steel I-beam and bolted the bend board is almost finished. Someone needs a belt........


The next piece of the puzzle is handed up while the come-a-long holds the board down.


Once that board was installed, metal straps were connected between each of the boards to also help hold them in place......doesn't look to bad....


There is an ole saying.....measure twice and cut once. But Glen the salesman from the company ended up coming back three times. The last time he had someone from the factory come along to check the measurements. He doesn't want to end up with windows and no house to put them in......now that is using a stop placement for sure.


No this is not a picture of Dr. Wilson Wilson...OK. It's just Glen wishing ya'll a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

And this too can be yours...

...all it takes is a 62% winning percentage with a 2:1 avg win/lose ratio...and the nerve to trade 20 to 50 ER contracts at a time.

This is why Dennis makes money and why any of you trying to follow along with what he does still cannot do nearly as well:

"You can transmit knowledge -- that is, your particular
collection of card indexed facts, but not your experience. A man
may know what to do and lose money -- if he doesn't do it
quickly enough."

"Observation, experience, memory and mathematics -- these
are what the successful trader must depend on. He must not only
observe accurately but remember at all times what he has
observed. He cannot bet on the unreasonable or on the unexpected,
however strong his personal convictions may be about
man's unreasonableness or however certain he may feel that the
unexpected happens very frequently. He must bet always on
probabilities -- that is, try to anticipate them. Years of
practice at the game, of constant study, of always remembering,
enable the trader to act on the instant when the unexpected
happens as well as when the expected comes to pass.
A man can have great mathematical ability and an unusual
power of accurate observation and yet fail in speculation unless
he also possesses the experience and the memory. And then, like
the physician who keeps up with the advances of science, the
wise trader never ceases to study general conditions, to keep
track of developments everywhere that are likely to affect or
influence the course of the various markets. After years at the
game it becomes a habit to keep posted. He acts almost
automatically. He acquires the invaluable professional attitude
and that enables him to beat the game at times! This difference
between the professional and the amateur or occasional trader
cannot be overemphasised."

"Reminiscenses of a Stock Operator" by Edwin Lefevere, written in 1923. Many wannabe traders have read this book (once) but they don't understand a lot of what was written until they have repeated all of the mistakes and human failings the book tried to warn you about in the first place.

Don't even think about it...Mark Douglas, Ari Kiev and Alexander Elder have written pale copies of this masterpiece.
