The Dow lost 65 points. Volume was light and the advance/declines were negative. Gold was relatively unchanged as was the XAU. My mind is not really ready to trade at this time. Outside influences have taken over for now. I really need to get my act together because it just can't go on like this. It is the toughest game in the world and requires your utmost attention. I cannot have other things influencing how I think and what I do. It just won't work out that way. So I will stay on the sidelines until I can sort things out. It is the prudent thing to do.
