On July 5, 2011 my account was reaching lows not seen since the very first days of starting it 10 months earlier. I had multiple waves of capitulation but still maintained a strong bearish bias. But even as a bear, I had no clue how fast the market would fall or what that implies.

Wow my NFLX short is absolutely killing my account now - between that and the RIMM long in addition to my long term holds that are still red, account value has plummeted in last 2-3 weeks:

Big Cap Performance -- > -0.60%
9/6/10 SPY Performance -----------------------> 20.67%
I AM BEATING/LAGGING MKT BY --------------------> -21.26%


Yuck!

Only 1 month later:

Performance -- > 53.34%
SPY Performance ------------------------------> 3.87%
I AM BEATING/LAGGING MKT BY --------------------> 49.47%

2 weeks later:
Performance -- > 101.53%
SPY Performance ------------------------------> 9.44%
I AM BEATING/LAGGING MKT BY --------------------> 92.09%


In other words the account doubled in 1.5 months. I'm trying to take profits as fast as I can before the market takes it all back again.
