but at the 9:00 open I thought it might turn out that way. I had a problem to begin the day. I had to take my son to school, so I knew I would not get back to the office before the 8:00 electronic open. I did not want orders getting hit that first 15 minutes I wasn't there to manage. So I had to scratch Plan A. The down momentum had me convinced Oct hogs were bent on giving the marked target @ 63.50 a kiss. Hallucination or not Plan B was to sell if price was anywhere near 64.30 when I was done with school bus job, with a touch of irritation that the bus gig was going to cost me. Talk about surprise and a brief moment of deer in the headlights when I saw the 64.70 area being traded. My first thought was----my hallucinations are just that.

My bounce line did allow a possible retest of 64.85 an old support now resistance so I sold a pair to somebody and then watched it take off headed for my 65.27 damage control which briefly red lined my anxiety meter. I wasn't concerned for myself, I'm used to making donations but I had several hedgers that I had told we needed to get some short term price protection to be able to sleep over the weekend. They don't take too kindly to me telling them before the day is over, that we got a fake out.

Looks as if it has marked the 63.00 target so I'm expecting a ride into the close.
