I was working on Plan D at midday. No sooner did I get Plan C put in place and I was throwing it in the closet and pulling my hair out for Plan D. So much for a nice relaxing day of fishing, I was expecting Plan A to be a lock for the day, just another statement regarding "expect the unexpected". Once again, my undeserved gift for choosing damage control and setting fishing lines, shines for keeping me out of the dreaded anxiety of pain and donations. The mechanical fishing lines I threw out @ 69.77, which at the time I didn't expect to get hit but appears there are some very hungry fish trying to defend the north end of the pond. My phone has not given me 5 minutes of peace for the last hour, so in a state of confusion, I'm packing up my fishing gear while my luck still has me on the positive side for the day.

Nothing other than LUCK from mechanical turning points can take a 12 cent loss from Damage Control taking me out of the wrong side and the Fishing Line turning it into a 30 cent profit. Of course the mass of hungry fish on the north side had a big part in that also. This is sure not how I expected the day to go but I did expect to have opportunity to make deposits if I made choices in line with the Rules of Engagement. That's always the hard part----keeping the EGO under control. I'm just thankful I didn't hurt myself.

Tomorrow is a new ball game. The market hasn't decided on direction. How long will it play in the 69.60-70.40 range or is it a 69.20-70.20 range before it makes a choice of UP or DOWN??
