the conviction of the Top Pickers from last week. The market probably still thinks the gap between futures and the index needs to narrow more. Not that it has to but just because it can, keeps the confusion and debate working on the loading and unloading process for ticket sales between the northbound and southbound. Ticket sales, is all the market cares about. Confusion and debate ramps up the ticket sales while both trains are setting in the station, playing the loading/unloading shuffle. Sooner or later one of these trains will leave the station.

I still have seats on the Northbound and Southbound, long Feb/short Dec and using whatever cushion my fishing provides when it comes time to give up my seat on whichever train gets left setting at the station. Caught a pair of long Feb @ 53.50 that are sure putting up a fight. Threw one back @ 53.60 because the Prime Directive had me convinced they were suckers but couldn't resist resetting my hook @ 53.40. Now the Prime Directive is on my case for getting letting my hallucinations control my emotions. Damage control is still where I placed it @ 53.10 and preparing for the Prime Directive to tell me "I told you so, you are the sucker".

Oh, the Prime Directive just let me have it!! It's gonna be hard for me to win the next argument.
