Caveat Emptor - Market Down 250 pts. (Updated 03/31/09)

03-30-03 - This is a low volume sell off. It might pick up steam but this market has been so volatile and my profits were so good this morning I gave covered most of my short positions. The ES is trying to make new lows for the day as of this writing. I am sure there were a ton of stops just below 778.50. We could see a quick snap back rally after hitting these stops. Quarter end is tomorrow and I expect the market to make every effort to make it up as high as possible before resuming the downtrend in April.

03-31-09 - Yep....unwound the calls on my straddle today. Man it's great when you can leg out of positions and make money on both sides

Seems the pros are concerned the recent run up in the market is getting way ahead of itself!

The Bottom?




03/22/08 - Over the past (whole week), I have been amazed how many professional advisers / traders are touting we have bottomed. I am in the X-Trader camp. Does this chart look like a bottom you you?
