It couldn't last for ever.

Raye hit another Royal on Tuesday and we are thousands ahead for the month. However, the next 2 days, we lost big. However, we are still ahead for the month.

Gold is up again, but it is down tonight. I still do not have any buy or sell signals with my program. If gold takes a jump in price tommorrow, I will probably get a buy signal.

Tomorrow, the gardener is going to work on my yard. He will prune my fruit trees and my plants. I also plan to work on my waterfall. It has a leak and I have to fix it. The weather is beautiful and I want to have my yard fixed up so it will be ready for us to enjoy this spring.

Raye spends the weekend in Arizona

Raye played in a slot tournament Saturday and then left for Arizona. I had to play in the tournament on Sunday. I did very well so we ended up 8th and won $500. If Raye had just done a little better, we may have won $20000. However, she hit another royal today and I won every day this weekend, so we are way ahead. In fact, we are way ahead for the month.

Gold dropped today and I didn't get any signals from my program, so I am just waiting for a signal to buy. I am still working on setting up my program for auto trading, but I am having a problem with the code. I am not a programmer, so I just learn from my mistakes as I go.

I am going with Raye to Lake Tahoe at the end of the month. I hadn't planned on going, but I have to go to for business reasons. Although I am retired, I still keep busy with a few business activities.

Le Reve at the Wynn is fantastic!!

Spent 2 days at the Wynn Casino. Raye, Virginia (Raye's Mom), and I had a great time at the Wynn. We went to the Chinese Restaurant (I think it is the Wing Lei) to eat. Shirley, Raye's Sister, went with us. I thought that the Lemon Chicken was just average, but the rest of the food was great.

Then, we went to the Le Reve show. Everyone thought that it was fantastic. It was exciting and beautiful. One of the best shows that we have seen in Las Vegas. I think that A New Day is the best, but this is a close second.

Gold went up then down then up. My program gave me a sell signal on Thursday so I sold it today. I made a slight profit. I should have held on because it jumped up today. I would have doubled my profit.

We lost a little at the casinos yesterday, but won big today. Raye is hitting royals so we are really doing well.

It finally warmed up a little today. My pond didn't freeze last night and it was in the mid fifties today. I hope that it stays above freezing so I can prune the plants and trees in my yard.

Bought Gold and it goes down!

Well, I bought gold this morning at open and it went down. It is still going down tonight. However, I didn't get a sell signal so I will keep it at least until Thursday.

Played at the casino again today. We lost a little. Had a good time at dinner at the buffet at Boulder Station with my friend Norm. I didn't workout today so it is the first day since the first of the year that I missed. I will workout tommorrow because, if I don't, I know that I will get lazy again and not exercise.

One of my main sprinkler valves broke due to the freezing weather we are having. It is just a little drip of a leak so I will wait until I fix it. The plumbers are all very busy and they are just responding to the big leaks and problems.

Time to buy Gold

I have placed my order to buy gold at the open tomorrow. This will be the first time that I try to use my auto trading to place a market order at 30 seconds before open. I am really interested to see how it works. Hopefully, I will buy exactly at the open price.

Today was another good day at the casino. I won big, but Raye lost 3/4 of it back later in the day. We are thinking of going on a cruise to Hawaii instead of the Europe trip. We have to cancel the Europe trip for several reasons. My mom has been given 1 to 3 months to live and I want to go to my 50th class reunion. We are also thinking of taking a 5 day cruise to Mexico with 5 of our grandkids. We didn't think we could go because the cruise lasted until Dec. 26th. This cruise will end on Dec 23rd. Nothing is decided yet. We have to do more reasearch.

Lunch with Andy and Jody

My nephew, Andy, and his wife, Jody, finally arrived today after being stranded in Texas yesterday. They checked into the Wynn and we had a nice lunch. I hope to see them again tomorrow before they leave. They are going to see the show "O" tonight.

Raye and I had another great day gambling. We both win big. She was at Sam's Town and I was at the Red Rock. We didn't see each other today. What a great day! Just kidding. I missed her.

I plan to check out gold tommorrow and then buy it at open on Monday. I don't like to buy after a big jump in price, but I did get a buy signal from my program so I will buy it.

Exercising and losing weight

I am still exercising and losing weight. I have not missed one day of exercising. I work out on my total gym every 3 days using the "Power of 10" exercise theory and on the off days use my trendmill. I have now lost 7 lbs since January 1, 2007.

Raye and I played at the casino again today. We broke even. Then we had dinner at the Wynn again. We have a room for next Wednesday and Thursday. On Thursday, we plan to go to dinner for Chinese and then to the Le Reve show. We have to do something with our comps.

Gold jumped up today and I have a buy signal. I will check out what it does on Sunday and then buy at open on Monday. My testing of my program used the open on the next day for the buy price so I will continue to buy at open the next day.

My nephew was supposed to fly in today and we have rooms at the Wynn for him, his wife, and his friends. However, they are stranded in Texas and may not even get a flight tommorrow. I was looking forward to seeing him and his wife. I hope that they make it.

Great day gambling.

Today was a great day. We won big time today. Had dinner at the Wynn with Raye and a friend. The weather is beautiful. Spent time in the yard. Just a great day!

Gold dropped today so, naturally, I didn't get a buy signal from my program. I think that it will have to go up to about $615 before I get a buy signal. I will just wait and see.

Starting my excercise program

I have decided to lose weight and get into shape. I need to lose about 21 more lbs. Therefore, I started to watch my diet again and to exercise. I have already lost 4.5 lbs since New Years, but now I am also exercising again. I hope to lose at least 10 lbs. this month. I hope to weight about 170, but, if I bulk up, I think 175 will be ok.

Gold is up today, but I did not get a buy signal so I will have to see what happens tomorrow. I really want to buy because I think that it will be going up again this week, but I am just going to stick to my program. It is just that I may give up some profit by waiting, but better safe than sorry.

Raye and I have been talking about our 2007 goals. We always make goals every year by the first of the year. We have decided that we may not want to take our 3 week European trip this year. We may want to wait until next year. We want to take our grandkids on a course this year and it may just be too much. We have not decided yet.

Great Weekend and Gold is moving up

Raye came home Saturday. She had a great time in California at the Morris Cerrullo 36th Annual World Conference at Anaheim Stadium. On Sunday, we went to church, went to lunch at the Red Rock Casino, gambled awhile (we lost), and then went home and exercised. Raye did some wash and cleaning while I posted this post.

I checked gold prices today and gold is moving up again. It is up over $3 dollars now. I will probably buy on Tuesday. I will have to check my program on Monday. Since I do expect gold to hit at least $700 this year, I will buy April contracts. With my software program, I miss some of the move, but I am somewhat conservative.

I am now working on a forex program. It will take me a long time because I am not a programer and I have to learn as I go. Even with my program that I use for futures, I know that I have to double check my signals because they are not 100% accurate. I am still trying to find the problem. However, it is close enough for now.

Gold crashes, but I renew an old friendship

Today, Gold dropped drastically. Most of my gain was wiped out. I also had 2 losing days at the casino. My software program did not show a sell, so I will have to wait until tomorrow. I am also trying to write a program for trading forex. I need to spend more time on my trading. I have spent too much time traveling and celebrating during the holidays.

I had lunch and spent most of the day with an old friend, Norm, whom I haven't seen in about 8 or 9 years. It was great. I had a wonderful day despite the financial setbacks.

I also plan to start my exercise program tomorrow. My friend Norm has been exercising and he is in wonderful shape. I was going to wait until my wife returned home from California, but I have been delaying this for too long.

Happy New Year

We had a great New Year's Eve. Our friends Sandra and Al went with us to dinner and a party. We visited the Fremont Street Experience and watched the fireworks.

When I arrived at home this evening, I checked on Gold. It is up slightly. Since I use EOD statistics from the New York market, I can not use my program until Wednesday night. I almost have my autotrading program ready to go. I will test it next week in my paper trading account.

Lost a little at the casino this weekend, but we had a great time.

I wish everyone a very prosperous New Year.
