** VIDEO ** Friday & May Perspectives

Today I discuss the upcoming June 27 Boston Bamboo cookout, my recent performance (or lack thereof), and reflections on the blog in general.

Please note in the video I referenced "2008" as the last time I had such a poor monthly performance at +$30K. I actually meant "2007".



Enjoy the weekend.

OK Don, about 1:00 you were bored enough to take time to do a video. By 3:30 was the day "shot", "fried","dead" or some other adjective? I'm just curious how the day ended for you.

You just had to wait three more hours! Wow, what a freaking last-minute moonshot!

I'd love to hit the Boston Bamboo Cookout, but that's my in-law's annual family reunion. Maybe someday.

Have a fabulous weekend at Foxwoods!

Chuck -

About the same as the rest of the month. Already moved on to June :-).

Hi Don,

What is your take on that last 15 minute huge runup!

Vic -

Anything goes in the last minutes of a Friday and last day of a month. At the risk of stating the obvious, I imagine many stops got triggered once the extended logjam range broke.

Enormous volume around the cash close. 237K ESM traded in the minute before and after the NYSE closing bell. Contrast that with 63K for the same time period the day before.

When the thing trades sideways all day and makes a move at the end of the day, especially on a summer Friday, all bets are off in terms of liquidity.
