Jesse LivermoreNo breakouts today. That is the market telling me it is not ready to move, and I respect that. Thirty-four stocks hovering near resistance mean nothing until they prove themselves by crossing it on volume. The three failures are simply the cost of doing business; I cut them loose without a second thought. Patience is not a virtue here, it is a necessity. I will wait for the line of least resistance to show itself.
