And the Fibonacci ratios appear throughout nature so there is definitely something powerful about them.

The ratios can be used for more than retracing though. It's amazing. Nice site by the way. It's good to see other traders using the Fibonacci ratios like I do.

Awesome play in the stock! I suggest that the major 38% retracement will be a factor, but I see price going higher once a pullback occurs - sort of like a cup with handle formation. I think the pullback could occur, yes, to the $135 level with a stop somewhere beneath $130. I like options because they don't require you to place stops (arguably) and you don't worry about being nicked out and having the stock take off without you. Good thoughts there. Thank you Rick w for the comment.

In looking at your chart, it looks like 150 is the crossover point. In fact 147 becomes the crossover with 0.38 and 146+ with 0.375. I have been following the fibonacci charts for this stock once it hit 200. I looked at the bottom and played it from there. It has been following along those lines ever since it hit 115. vacillating b/w 120-125, then finally exploding to 140+, blasting past the 136.25 marker as if it wasn't there. But it seems that it is there and making an ugly reappearance. Would you say that the next entry point is 136 - 134, taking into account the options activity that will abound? Thanks. 12.5 125.625
25 136.25
37.5 146.875
50 157.5
62.5 168.125
75 178.75

I enjoy reading your posts and do learn from your perspective. This past weekend I was reading an archived post entitled “Rules of the Game and Victory through Manipulating Them.” It seems that just when you were getting to the meat of the subject I was left in suspense. My question is; Have you written a follow-up to that post? Specifically the attainment of victory in manipulating the rules part. Perhaps you followed up on that previous post and I haven’t found it in the archives? Again, thanks for your blog. -todd Corey,
