Should have stuck with TPI, this probable govt. shutdown is killing AEO.... oh well, if the shutdown goes through we will probably see an excuse for the market sell-off and establish some nice buying points in the next few weeks.

This is going to a hard week to make money.
We usually do not have the opportunity of the weekend before knowing these were our choices. Usually, we find this fact out about Wednesday......
We are going to have a market that is
1. Way down
2. Way up.
3. About the same where it started.
Now we only had to figure out which one is correct by yesterday, and acted this morning.
