i just shorted some more BKS for good measure .... that and CAH is all I'm short .... heading to the airport so I put in orders to close at the 5 dma good till next week ....
Kevin, if the market continues up there will be a better opportunity to short at the end of the week in my opinion ....

Best thing for my positions right now would be a drop in the MA of the p/c ratio.

Looks like a "hollow red candle" day for the VIX. Since 1990, there have only been 89 such occurrances - on average the next day has been DOWN -0.10%.
Looks like we are stalling here at around SPX 1100-1110.

Kevin it didn't turn out to be a red candle, or am I looking at the wrong thing?

No, you're right - I posted at 3:48 PM, and by 4 PM it had turned white.

well i was lucky enough to cover most of my BKS position the other day when it dropped a couple dollars, looks like i will get a good crack at covering the rest plus my CAH tomorrow ....
Kevin, looking at the charts we came damn close to getting a signal the last few days, hope you took a short position of some sort

I should have, but didn't. Been off on vacation, so I decided not to trade for this week.
Today will be an UGLY day for longs, but I am very tempted to get in on some longer term commodity plays such as MOO, DBA, SLV and GDX. Probably missed my chance at the 2x/3x bears for the week.
Silver off 5% in premarket - that's not going to happen again any time soon.

Picked up some GDX, MOO, DBA, UGL, and AGQ shortly after the market opened. Had limit orders in, but it became apparent that they would not get filled at the prices I had set, so I converted them to market orders. Already up about 1%.

Looks like a good move Kevin, I should have exited early on my positions it would appear ..... but i am not very heavily invested at this time ..... looks pretty uncertain whether to take a stab at going long or short now .....

The VIX chart is very interesting today - a black candle closing above the Upper BB(10,2). Since the beginning of 2008, every time a black candle has been formed that either closes above the UBB or even pierces it (8 times in total), the next day the ^SPX has been up, often by as much as 5%.
