This was a very interesting week. In fact it was one of the best weeks of the year for the American markets. Last week fears over subprime and the economy seem gone although plenty of doubts remain.  The week before Labor Day is usually quite, which favors the upside, but this could also be just the first leg of a bear market.

Corrections can be very frightening because they test you as an investor. It is easy to sell at exactly the wrong time, but even more easy to buy at wrong time also. The positive trend offered several opportunities for lucrative trades and most competitors manage to improve their gains. Mr. Doleschall is keeping both first and second place with 704% and 356%.
