Well, I had a day much like yesterday. I traded for a little while and then went outside to continue my War on Ticks. They don't know what they're up against. I walk into the woods, remove leaves and sticks and find 4 or 5 on me. I then remove them and give them a nice DT Alcohol Spa Treatment which kills them in seconds.

Anyway, the VO has had a nice uneventful but profitable week. Sure it's a little dull, but everyone is stacking slowly, which is nice. As for my real office, I was #11 of 23 traders. The office range was -$4964 to $5261 (gross).

Volume wasn't abysmal for a summer Friday as we clocked in at over 1.2 billion shares. And we got a nice little rally, which is good for creating bear flags in a bear market.

Have a great weekend. Enjoy the solid weather.

HOLY SHIT, TIM RUSSERT DIED!
