Hello folks:
Sorry for the delay this week, I had a major server issue (not FPA server, but my own server) and I basically spent the entire weekend transferring websites and setting up the new server. So I apologize again for not getting the analysis/overview out on time…
However, with today being a national holiday in the U.S., I think everyone should just take it easy and enjoy the downtime. I believe a little sunshine and few hours in the pool should do wonders for your mindset as we get ready to trade this week.
