We are moving ahead in our transfer from an email-based group to the web. Our programmer is at work, tweaking the features and using bug spray 🙂 Here’s the comment on this process by a Spiker Grant C from California. Also, be sure to click on the link sent in by a Spectator Rodryk S from Dusseldorf – a very nice interactive chart of bear market history.
Friends keep sending me jokes about this crisis, and I will start posting the better ones here. The first email is from a former Spiker in the Hague (Netherlands)
Dear SpikeTraders – you can now access Spike picks! As you know, we make Spike picks invisible from 5 pm on Friday until 3 pm on Sunday – so that each of us makes a decision independently of others. After 3 pm on Sunday, no new picks can be made, and the current picks are open for all to see!Last week’s crash overshadowed the memories of 1987 for those of us who traded in those days. In times like these it is vital to preserve your sense of peace and balance, and not jump with the crowd. Today, let us plan for long-term survival and success. We will also review a few housekeeping notes on our SpikeSpeak group.
Jim sent Kerry and me this video link. It is in English but with Spanish subtitles – possibly because Jim has a juvenile delinquent relative in Latin America. Watch it and enjoy!
As we build a community of serious traders, we decided to open campers’ meetings to SpikeTrade members. This post lists our meetings for the rest of 2008 – in, Singapore, Sydney, and near London. Please email us for directions.
