I'm going to take a pass on this Verus_FL afternoon and ask the trading gods for a "do over" next week.

Good news here is the baby is solidly on the road towards recovery. He even turned off my computer twice today, so he's returning to his ol' bugger self. I've been up since 3 am. I've got to fix my bodyclock this holiday weekend. Did I trade or even watch the EUR in the early morning like an opportunistic trader would? Nope. I was watching infomercials. Did you know Don Lapre is still around? He's the spastic guy who said you could make a fortune a decade ago by placing tiny little ads in newspapers. Now he's hawking the world's greatest vitamins. How is this guy not in prison?

I saw the "Forex Made Easy" infomercial (or whatever it's called), and even that didn't prompt me to move my carcass off the sofa and watch a live chart. Trading takes a lot of stamina and self-motivation. Both of which are currently on the orange line on my trade-o-meter. Luckily, all I need to rev my engines is some sleep this weekend and a glass of apple/pear/tomato/kale juice from the Jack Lalanne Juicer. Yes, we bought that off the infomercial. We're a little pissed because we bought the old model for Christmas, and he's now got a sleeker Express model that comes with a free $50 value chop-o-matic thingy. Damn it, Jack. Ahh, what the hell are you gonna do?
