Things have been busy busy busy around these parts. Old skool iBCers remember when I ripped out the shower stall and installed tile, a couple of years ago. I did a post on it but I think all the pictures were deleted. Anyway, I’ve now replaced the tiled floor in the bathroom, and the trim, and repainted everything, over the last several weekends. The wife is happy…but I’m behind in my weekend research.
PDS has been pulling back like we would expect. The system metrics outperformed over the past month or so, and now it appears they are moving back towards the historical norm.
I can’t help but think that it will soon be time to short again, and so I will be dusting off a short-system or two over the next week or so for testing and tweaking. I would be thrilled to be able to pair PDS with a good short system.
I am going to continue with the rotational systems. Jeff over at Market Rewind has made a suggestion or two, and I have a new idea or two to play around with. The next rotational system will trade ETFs and is going to be buying strength.
I had to put The Slippage Project on the back burner, but I should have all of my trades loaded into the spreadsheet within a week or so, and then I’ll work on project implementation.
Finally, there is a top-secret super duper double classified new system that a reader presented to me to try out. Expect to see more on it soon. It will appeal to daytraders, and will likely be able to be traded with limit orders intraday.
That shit isn’t so top secret anymore, is it?
Was the hyperbole too much for you le Fly?
The system can be discussed in generalities without disclosing the algorithm.
I think the secret’s safe
I have yet to load up the fundy symbols…
Hopefully tonight I will, but I do have to attend a co-ed Pampered Chef party tonight. Yikes..
Enjoy your new set of bamboo kitchenware…
I replaced all the tile in my 3 bathrooms as well as the tub(and 2 levels of wall tile to get it out) in one.
Also the foyer and kitchen which I did diagonally – I love that look.
I’m getting quite good at tiling now.
I did the bathroom on a diagonal. It looks fantastic. There is definitely an art to it.
What does that even mean?

Jake, you can lay the tile where the long edge is perpendicular with your walls and doors, or you can turn it 90 degrees so that the point of each corner is pointing at the walls and doors. That is laying it on a diagonal.

Do you have a wetsaw?

DMG, I borrowed one. If you have a small project, you can go to Morris Tile, buy the tile, and step outside into their warehouse where they have a wet saw setup for customers to use. But you would need to know all your cuts beforehand, which could be problematic for a rookie.
I’m interested in that paired PDS and short system.
