January off to a poor start:

1/31/2015

Article: http://blog.stocktradersalmanac.com/post/January-Barometer-Gives-Notice-SPY-DIA-QQQ

Note: On Friday 1/30/15, VTI stopped out @ 103.28 for -1.03 (-1.05%), bought 1/29/15. That brought my trading account for January to just less than +1% profit. Off to a weak start and the markets don't look good! I think this may be a rough year! Going into February we need to hold this S&P bottom trend line: http://screencast.com/t/BWgqCR7cuO2
