Worlds best tomato soup recipe

Some simple pleasures in life can set your mind at ease. Here is one...

It's been a bumper year for my cherry tomato plants and after gorging on them breakfast, lunch and dinner, some more creative ways to eat them had to be devised.

If done correctly the following recipe will knock your socks off:

Use only organic ingredients.

3 cups of cheery tomatoes

1/2 red pepper

1/2 cup of broccoli tops

1 medium apple, slice it up leave the skin on but take the core out

1 medium pear, slice it up leave the skin on but take the core out

1/2 shallot

5 basil leaves

3 cloves of garlic

1/2 teaspoon of sea salt

1 pinch of pepper

1 tablespoon of sugar

1/2 cup of water

Put everything in a blender and puree it for a minute or so

Heat on medium but don't let it get too hot or it'll lose a lot of goodness

Shred a small handful of Havarti or Gouda cheese put it on top and let it melt.

Serve with fresh baked sour dough bread, lightly toasted and heavily buttered.

Forget all about the market....

GMCR drifting

Markets are drifting at the moment, better to take a little profit and wait for what happens. The perfect Machiavellian plan would be to run it up to new highs and kill the shorts.

GMCR act IV

Gone short again in GMCR

GMCR act III

Got stopped out of GMCR and kept the loss small. It's great to make money but if you don't cut the losers small you will be finished.

Now just keep an eye on GMCR and see which way it goes.

GMCR act II

after covering the short, the only play is to take it long and play the bounce

GMCR long entry

bounce turned into a mini trend change, giving pesky short sellers pain for not taking profits when the candles said to.

I'm selling here into the surge of buyers and taking it short again as the markets are pointing down.

GMCR

I want to take advantage off the massive sell volume in GMCR to cover my shorts easily.

The markets actually traded normally for a bit today. What a refreshing change.
