Sorry folks, I am going to need a mulligan today.

After spending most of my day absorbed with technical challenges, I wasn't able to do much in the way of commentary throughout the day. Apparently, all I missed was a sub-200 day on the Dow, as the market cruises down to test the lows. Nothing major, right?

I can say that the watchlist provided some decent ideas today...

GHM, GMCR, FSLR, DRYS, ENER, THQI, DECK, LEH, GME, CME, NILE and PVH all performed well...

while I cannot explain why GIFI, BIG, and ESV are not getting killed. They must not realize who they are dealing with.

Finally, before I run a closing bell post, I want to take a moment to introduce the newest character here on OptionAddict. Since it was brought to my attention that my Macro analysis is likened to the technical analysis of James Cramer, I decided to make a monster acquisition and open up the site to a double dose of trading doctrine.

His name is the "Macro Maniac." You can meet him by clicking here.
