for those wandering why the vix was down this week and couldn't manage to put in a higher high, last week it back tested its broken up-trend line dating all the way back to 12/18/2006 http://www.flickr.com/photos/47091634@N04/43192…
USO wkly chart, closed below an important trendline, however with 3 consecutive red bars, it's almost guaranteed to close higher next week, 4 consecutive red bars has only happened once in 119 weeks, another clue to the equity markets direction next week http://www.flickr.com/photos/47091634@N04/43185…
gap on 60 min chart SPX 1127.38 (930:1030 candle) for those of you with eagle eyes they did this same thing with the 930 candle back in the late october decline http://www.flickr.com/photos/47091634@N04/43190…
You should be fine then. I can't be around a computer all day, so I just swing trade. It's not safe to do that next week until the wave 2 up is over.
It will whip up and down and scare a lot of people out of positions, but the following week it will be a big move straight down. That's the one I'm waiting for! I'm looking for 100+ points… very quickly!
OK… You really need to strip off the tin foil. The gov't did not stage 9/11. Just from a practical standpoint the downsides (if found out) are too severe.
That said, the government certainly didn't go out of their way to prevent something like 9/11 from happening, FAR FROM THE CONTRARY. Not even after they tried to bring it down once before and failed!
I find it much easier to imagine *they purposefully engaged in a dereliction of their duty*, which is just as bad.
And I doubt they will manufacture a reason to let the market fall. Chances are the banksters will just let it happen so they can (attempt to) bully more $ out of the taxpayer.
All very valid and true points. I'm agreeing that I don't see a lot of upside left. However, I'm still inclined to believe that we will bounce up next week. The short term technicals are pointing up, while the longer term has just rolled over and are point down.
So don't worry about me going long on the market next week. The only long position I have is in the USO (oil) which due a short term bounce. Other then that, I'm just waiting on the sidelines for the end of next week to arrive, so I can go short again.
Believe me… I'm a bear! But, all short term TA's say that we bounce next week. So, I'll wait until it's over and then go short again.
I do think that there will be a lot of swings from up to down each day next week. If you are a day trader, you can make a fortune or loss one…
Not to worry though… I'll be going short with you, but not until next Friday.

Still short and will just stay that way.

Maybe? When the largest wave 3 down starts this September, just be sure keep your ears and eyes open.
Agree, but at this point I think a mistake in shorting will eventually
be rectified by the market, and pretty quickly.
Basically my plan is sell the rips, partial cover on dips, rinse,
repeat. But I want to keep a core short position.
