For those of you who missed today's Trading Post Tuesday, you missed out!

All around it was a great series of sessions. Katie Chambers who coordinates the TP Tuesday events here made a comment to me that we should abolish the break between morning and afternoon sessions and just continue the momentum all the way through - which we did, and it turned out great.

We had excellent presenters today, and it was all clockwork. Thanks to all who presented, all who participated and all who attended.

This month we had Metastock and Ensign Software, two charting providers as new presenters, and next month we look forward to having them back as well as some other new sessions and bring back some previous sessions to continue to make this a better day.

The next TP Tuesday is May 20, so mark it on your calendars!

Sometimes a thought occurs to me, or something is emailed to me and I want to share it - RIGHT AWAY, but I get caught up in things and it never happens. Timeliness is important in blogging, and one of my foremost goals is to be more relevant, timely, and present (meaning blogging at least daily).

With that said, the Dow Jones Industrial Average finished at its highest close since Jan. 10 on Friday and a Marketwatch blog post on The Wall Street Journal today shed some insight into sentiment into the current shape of the stock market.

That sentiment is divided.

Words like "suggest," "tentative," "expect," "concerned" are indications of hesitancy. Of course with the euro breaking 160, oil approaching $120 a barrel, what can be expected?

One thing that can be said for sure is that there is more craziness on the horizon, and it's a matter of how much traders let it affect them.
