Pretty Cool Retweet; and a Mea Culpa

On the rare occasion I do anything that generates traffic above the background noise of crawlers and spammers (which means, twice a year), I feel the urge to go all meta and point it out.

This retweet of last night’s post was worth a few page views today:

All the traffic isn’t in, and it isn’t on the order of the Indirect Slashdot Effect, but I was fairly surprised at how much cred a StockTwits retweet carries.

And one point of clarification. In that post, my characterization of Brian (@alphatrends) as “chastising” my lack of paying attention was not accurate…I over-dramatized it. He was just expressing angst at someone having gone underwater based on misplaying his analysis (in my case, through lack of attention). Since then, I’ve started watching his market trend videos last week and have learned quite a bit just from watching one, and it’s a great resource for learning. Mea culpa. I typically don’t edit posts for anything other than typos, but I felt it necessary to correct that post.
