the fact remains that the structure of the financial industry is to buy, buy, buy. as a result, surprises will almost always come to the upside. i'm looking for a time to close out my longs for a profit, and sit in cash and wait for my next entry.
this isn't bragging at all, but this is a few of my positions since i stopped being so bearish the market.
Same here. I shorted the September 2010 monster rally cause I used to read ZH everyday. Now I follow them on twitter and just read the headlines from time to time but refrain from reading the articles. Doing much better since then.
there may be an argument that SPX is targeting the 200MA again around 1260/65. but definitely need some digestion before getting there. maybe 1 small red day to "digest".
I read recently that the SPX on any given week has a 52% chance of closing in the green so I totally agree with your statement below.
jarbo / AL / Cobra / anyone does anybody have a good source for the kind of info such as the average return of the SPX on any given week? I tried Googling it but didn't get too far.

Oh my god. I am so happy I sold my 2000 shares SDS in the after hours market after I made $400 from it. I was not so sure even thought that 3 push up pattern and the huge negative divergence. hahhaha.. big smile on my face this morning.
