Looks like it was a crazy day in the market. But right now, I can't get into it. I'm going to be very preoccupied for the next few days and don't think I'll be putting much, if any, effort into the blog.

I'm not putting it on official hiatus or anything. I'll be back up 100% once we get my daughter diagnosed... it's just this waiting and trying to figure it out that makes it impossible for me to think about anything else. Could be a day, could be a week.

See you then.

UPDATE: Tokyo Trader will be manning the VO for the rest of the week. Due to the time zone difference, however, it will be posted later in the evening... around 9pm EST.

STARI or Lyme

We've had a long day here as our daughter received a diagnosis of Lyme disease. The problem is, I know for a fact that she wasn't bitten by a deer tick, but by a Lone Star Tick. Lone Star Ticks don't carry Lyme disease.

I tell you, since becoming a parent I have really begun to strongly question the competency of most medical professionals I've come across. To say that they are diagnosing to prevent litigation most of the time wouldn't be going too far...

Anyway, this has led to a very slow trading day for me. I missed some amazing trades in the morning... I mean, just missed. Perhaps I will be able to detail this in a daily post later tonight, but I rather doubt it, as I have plans immediately after the close.

Die, LEH die!!!
