On New York's Upper West Side, at pop-up locations every six blocks, Christmas trees come with sticker shock.
People outside of Manhattan just don't understand that a Christmas tree can be a "major household item."
My son was too busy on his iPad to care . We live on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, where if you didn't know better, you might believe was in Indiana, Pennsylvania , or some town in Wisconsin, or Oregon , as there are Christmas tree pop-up locations every six blocks. Well, if you live in New York City, this is a major item. The annual ridicule I get from my brothers, who live in the 'burbs, or friends in other states, about what I pay in NYC for a Christmas tree makes it embarrassing to talk about the experience. But I'm an old-fashioned guy, and I would never own a fake tree, and my kids would be gutted if we didn't have a tree. So off I went.
After testing the bid/ask on the tree market with three or four "dealers," I was ready to trade. Trading can be emotional and if you don't have discipline and clear levels in mind you can be at greater risk in a volatile market. I walked up to this stand at 75Street and Columbus Avenue and presented my bid. I was putting in a limit order at $200 and hoping to be "protected there," potentially with an improvement.
