Comment on Get Up, Stand Up by digs

Hi Felix, thanks for the feedback. Have been wanting to update this post at some point. I am not quite to the point of your stamina, thinking more like 66% standing, 33% seated. I hadn’t considered a time limit to act until after I’d been standing for a given period. That is interesting. I do now find that I’m instinctively standing when decision time comes. I did jack up my monitors to eye level which has taken a lot of strain off my neck. and I’ve heard about that borderless mouse thing. I should give it a try. Also, next time I put an order through at Amazon, will likely pick up one of the Altus Athletic Core Balance Discs, which I read about in a blog last week. Lastly, if you have any wrist fatigue at all, check out the vertical wireless mouse from Evoluent. I’ve had one for several years now. Worth its weight in gold.

First time to your site – nice work. I like your new set up. I stand about 80% of the time when I work. The second I sit in my chair productivity goes down hill and I can tell a change in my thinking. I’m now only allowed to sit when working with data, any trading decisions must be made only after standing for 5 minutes or more. Crazy what it does for your thinking. I see you are running a few computer, I started using “Mouse Without Boarders”, a side project from some Microsoft guy – one keyboard and mouse to run them all. Keep up the good work.

looking at longer term view… like to park some serious moolah here but need to see an upside impulse on volume before getting too comfortable

Always figured you for a Stand Up guy. Monitors at eye level would be good therapy for your neck, too.

[...] Last month’s picks saw a couple flat, a couple down, and a nice premium on the buyout of AMLJ. Going forward I think SOTK and REPR are keepers. Among a couple of others, I might suggest looking at SWTX and their insulated glass niche, including a new building project in China, which is the 2nd largest in company history. If Corning is on top of things they will snatch this company up before too long. [...]

Comment on Setups For Tuesday by digs

Hi there, DENN was in fact a bulllish setup with the breakout/trigger occurring today. For the sake of simplicity, I’m now putting the long setups up top, and then shorts are below the break. Also, longs will typically be above their 200day ema, and then most of the short setups presented will be below that same moving average.
