Pulled into Chicago last night and headed straight to Superdawg even though it meant sitting in extra traffic (it helped that I was pretty hungry). I didn't really matter since it always feels good to be in Chicago no matter what. I just like it here, traffic and all.
I've wanted to try Superdawg since seeing it on a food show about the best hot dog places around the country (still want to try The Varsity in Atlanta). It looked quirky and fun. It was. It also was a really great dog.
"Dawg is my co pilot"
I felt they wrecked it, though, by stuffing into a small box beneath fries and a giant pickle, all of which seemed to fuse together. Not a fan of bright green, artificial-food-coloring relish, either. But it the dog itself saved it. It was really good.
Good thing I only ate one. When I arrived at Chris' house in the 'burbs, we all had a huge feast there too. The kids thought he was kidding them that I was truly visiting. When I walked in the door, they flipped out. It was pretty funny.
Today in the S&P, it looks like Friday's plan will take place now. I still see the 78.6% retracement level at 1261 and the 200-day moving average at 1264.96 as targets. The S&P only got to 1260.08 on Friday. I got a little piece of it with the SDS then traded the ES against it to the long side as the market sold off. I kept my head down and concentrated on a new 377-tick chart set up that worked very well. I closed both sides at the end of the day, but the real gains were made from scalping ES longs in the down tape -- it's a lot easier when you're short against it.
There are high expectations for something definitive this week from Europe. I don't share them.
