I feel like the market is giving the bears just enough hope to load the bear boat and then the anchor is going to get dropped through the bottom of the boat.

Everything looking pretty bulish to me. I should probably sell my small holdings in TZA and TVIX. I hate selling for a loss, but it looks like I bet the wrong way. mmm, yeah, I have small spxu. hate to always carry it, but with EU, feel better with protection. I may wait and see if we get another leg up and see at eod, not sure - could sell/buy back, but not sure worth the effort

I think there'll be plays both ways this week. Earnings, Opex, Euro, I don't think we're in the clear to be off and running.
It's just picking where the best plays are is the trick, so that I don't over trade. Very tricky in this climate. Friday looked like a buy, and turned out to be a setup for nice weekend trades. I didn't, so now I have itchy trigger fingers ;D

Anyone watching fins today? Earnings week is famous for gapping them up premarket, then selling them off throughout the day. I took a small FAZ ( ) position at 31 this am. May just be a scalp, we'll see. Though I expect the broad market to stay green today, I think fins will take it in the shorts. GL all!

But I am holding for a little while longer. Say it ain't so, you play UNG?

I only have small short, so no big deal hold, but if you're holding large, I'd at least get rid of some

May have to close my FAZ posn while still green. Hmmmm....fins still weak, but market very sturdy. Have to see if we break well above SPY 130, then decide.

At first I thought we'd gently stair-step down all day, touch the flat line, then close up. But maybe not now. Too many see what you see. All I know is, I don't have the patience to just SIT here all day. SOMEBODY MAKE THIS MARKET MOVE!!! I don't care which way... Oops- sorry for that little outburst.

Well I think we have to ask ...is this enough to make the real shorts capitulate and boost out of this zone with mass covering?
I don't think we're there yet. Does anyone else?
