Over the weekend I went to West Virginia with some family and friends (a “man weekend” as we call it) to go white water rafting, zip lining, and do some photography. We successfully navigated the Upper Gauley which is the 5th hardest run in the world and zip lined one of the longest runs in the world reaching speeds of up to 50 mph some several hundred feet in the air. It was epic.
Here is my favorite picture from the trip which I took with my Dad using his Nikon (click to enlarge). I still have a lot to learn but it was a good experience. If anyone has done white water or zip lining please feel free to share your adventures in the comments area. Let’s discuss

The market finally started to cool off as worries came hot off the press that Germany was still hesitant about bailing our Europe. Don’t let that fool you though as the primary reason for the selling; we were way overbought heading into today.
While the NASDAQ successfully marked higher highs last Friday, the S&P 500 did not which makes it the key index to watch right now. Volume continues to trade very low and until 1230 is broken caution should continue to be noted.
