I am gradually working my way back to full strength. I have had two computers to go down within one week. The last one fully corrupting my Trade Station files. Rather than doing a quick restore, I zapped my hard drive and reformatted. Ran every hardware check on the system I knew and then some. I now have what feels like a new computer right out of the box. You don't realize how much stuff you have until you take everything off and begin to restore from scratch.This past week saw a long awaited upside bounce in this bear market. As a matter of fact, the last time I had a system shutdown, the markets had a huge move. It appears each time I have a massive computer crash the market rallies in a big way.The group ended the week positive for the 4th consecutive week. The Spiker's are up over 6% for the year.Susie wins Gold, Dave F takes the Silver and Nick grabs the Bronze. Once again Spiker's demonstrated great money management as no one trade loss more than 3%. The group has been profitable 8 weeks out of 11 so far this quarter. We had a mix of long and short trades, and as Alex has mentioned before this is a market of stocks. Many times there are opportunities long and short. In a week that saw the SP-500 move 10%, the Gold and Silver medalist won with short position trades. There was some phenomenal performance in the Spike Members trades. Several had gains of 15% plus. Members David L , Hsin Y, Pat L, Sergey S, Stephen A, Tristan M all earned $20 dollar credits.Congrats to this weeks winners!!
