Hey I just saw some data that said we go up another 400 points next Monday and Tuesday.

1390 reached. I am not bullish at all now. I closed all long positions today. Doesn't mean, I will short. At least not until the tape turns that way. Here are the reasons why -

1. NYMO is showing a divergence. This has worked reliably before and I dare say should work again. (I found this after I closed the longs so it was not a factor).
2. Other technical indicators are showing divergence in many indexes (XII is a one I started using because of Stocktiming.com). Many stocks/indexes are up against trendlines.
3. Unless Ben does something no one expects there is only one way to go. The expectation is that he will either not print or print some. Either way, it will not be enough.

Does this mean we crash to -below 0 on the indexes? No. Will be following VIX more closely in the next few days. Have saved up some for play with VIX futures. Looking for advice on what people use for VIX calls. GLTA.

VXX looks most liquid but option bid-ask spreads are terrible! I will have to check the spreads during regular trading hours. Thanks for the heads up!
