We might just have a white Christmas after all.  Toronto got pelted with a good dumping of snow today, so I decided this was a good day to work from home.  Once again I have no trade for you.  I had no idea that market went all screwy.  The spreads are staying wide even during the day right now.  The Euro gained a couple thousand pips on the US Dollar over the last few days as well.  Definitely not my happy time to trade.  So many traders love these movements because they are in for large swing positions.  I look for 2-10 pip gains when the markets are ranging well within reasonable bounds.  When people complain about sideways markets is when I am happiest.  I will have more time on my hands in the new year, so I am planning on moving into stocks as another way of trading (and keeping this blog interesting).  Since I can’t bring you anything Forex related I will stay on the topic of snow.  Below is a pic of Chubbs playing in the snow.  And, because that may not be enough to entertain all of you, I also added a C & H comic.  You can use that as a funny take on the Frosty take.  Or, a perverted suggestion on what to do with all this snow.  Either way.

*Chubbs still doesn’t know whether to walk on the snow, or eat the snow.  Now, lets see that C & H comic…

Sorry for the late post today!  Last night I didn’t get a chance to trade.  It turns out that our bulldog Chubbs managed to squeeze himself between some gates and got into the living room at my girlfriends apartment.  The little monster decided Christmas is too far away and opened all the gifts.  He also thought our tree looked stupid so he knocked all the decorations off it.  Then, he figured the Internet is dumb and went to work on the modem and router.  Luckily he didn’t do permanent damage to anything.  But, it caused me to spend my evening shoring up our defenses.  A couple slabs of wood has now closed the gaps and he is going to have to respect the gate…for now.  This morning we had to take him to the vet just for a checkup.  He looks to be in perfect health and will be terrorizing Christmas trees and modems for many years to come!  I wish I had a pic of the damage he did, but my girlfriend cleaned it up long before I got there.  Anyways, here is a comic from Explosm to reward your patience.

Happy Sunday everyone! This is a day meant for laying on the couch and watching football. So, now that you have come to my site I suggest you get off the damn computer and go relax. Actually, click on some of my featured sites or other advertisers on your way out. Since this is a lazy day I will be lazy with my post. Here is another C & H comic from Explosm. Enjoy!

I have been so busy checking out C&H comics that I ignored XKCD!  Thankfully my buddy Owen keeps me up to date.  He advised that this would be something fun for a blog post.  I couldn’t argue.  We have some wicked confusion and innuendo going on here.  Oh yeah, I got some emails about my trading seeming to slow down.  Yes, it has.  The idea is that I don’t trade every day because of opportunity.  Sometimes the market isn’t moving enough in the evening to give me a good pick.  Sometimes it is moving too much.  I still check things out each day but sometimes I just don’t see a reason to risk.  95% of people in this market blow out there accounts in 3 months.  I make money and have been doing so for a while.  All this while the markets have shed almost half their value.  I think I am doing the smart thing by being cautious.  I will be doing some things different when the new year starts so I may open up room for trading during the day.  I certainly hope that happens because the pip spread is only 1 pip then!  I could make some good wins considering I have such a low target.  In the meantime - I enjoy comics and other funny shit on the Internet.  I might as well have some fun when I am not trading!

Once again, I bring to you a C&H comic from Explosm.  I should just make this site all about them!  Seriously, they are bringing the most consistent web comic I can find.  XKCD has been good, but not great lately.  I enjoy them a little better than a lot of you might.  They have gone heavy on the geek side lately.  That’s OK.  That’s how they roll.  White Ninja is always good, so maybe I will drop another one of those tomorrow.  Obviously, I didn’t have time to trade last night.  I was busy playing hockey and by the time I got home I figured “screw it!”  Let’s see if something comes up for me later today!

2 days in a row I am bringing you a comic from Explosm.  I like where these guys go with their humor.  They think outside the box - literally!  Hey, I promised some more comics and I deliver.  I will change it up though.  Tomorrow you will get something educational.  Or exciting.  Or…porn.  Whatever.

One of the best things about blogging is that you can do it anywhere.  I had this post already written, but am adding this little starting via my blackberry.  See, you can have fun even when waiting for someone to get out of a doctors appointment!  Anyways, it has been a few posts since I brought you a web comic.  The tubes are filled with these gems.  I should check out my usual favorites and bring you some good ones this week.  Here is the first.  This one from Explosm.  C & H get caught talking about flavored bullets.  Anytime a simple comic has graphic violence then it will find a home on my blog!
