Covered

I just covered my entire short position in the e-minis at 895.25. The market has held up much better than I expected after this morning's early selling. This makes me think that the bulls are gaining the upper hand and I'd rather have half a loaf than none at all.

  1. Smart move Carl.

    The longer the market holds in here the more it's looking like that huge selling after the open was akin to a rogue wave.

    Until the close I expect to see a battle to get the SPX cash back above 903 before the close.

  2. Weak close. Most people are still bullish. Potential for a major break lower Monday on the way to new lows.

  5. Carl,
    I agree with your previous post on the morning selling. Also the close was very weak. I have covered half my shorts but will re-institute (hopefully on some strength) on Monday. Target 865.
