I noticed that too..looks like the VIX maybe found a short-term bottom this morning

It does appear to be a opportunity to short but I have`nt built up the confidence to pull Da trigga... volume has been comin in pretty good on the upticks when it counted and this pull back appears to be just profit taking..

 

SINA went nuts too 

EOD short covering rally?

Fully agree Rando. Volume is needed to go down but not up. I think people know that when volume comes back there will be more downside than upside. If we get through 1240 with a forceful move watch out below.

 

I have a theory that I am watching to see if it plays out. When we broke out of that long downtrend channel from the Dec 12 high to the December 20th break of the upper trend line I decided to adjust the upper trend line of that move to the top of the AH gap up. I expect this to be retested before we can go through 1260 to the upside. Time will tell if I am right or not but that gap up didn't make any sense after 4 good attempts to get to the upper trend line in 8 days? 

When was the last time you shorted? Fess up

 

 

 

October 2007 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

got ourselves another bull here

 

Shorted SD at $8.23 with 7.5 puts jan 12 in at $.30

ballsy, good luck 

 

I figure I have until january 12 for some people to take some profits.

January 12th?

 

I thought I shot all the bulls yesterday. If we follow the trend, what does that make us?

 

Jan 12 expiration date on those puts.

Zero trades today, two longs and one short yesterday, the short was SPY Dec quarterlies, I think the 126s, for a quick scalp. Did not have a lot of free time and glad I didn't because I probably would have held longer and seen the small scalp profit turn flat or red. I do my best to separate my larger view of where markets are headed on daily, weekly, monthly time frames and just play whatever that day gives us. But that isn't always easy as sometimes we are fighting the thinking part of our brains.

This light volume makes it a lot easier to hold levels. look at how many times they have painted ES 1249.50 day session high. Now look at the first hour high, no surprise to find it's 1246.25... and how many times have they touched that in the last two hours? This is just a theta vapor lock from here until next week.

the day that all the bulls die is the day that bears should duck for cover.

 

still miles and miles of dem cows running around

wowzers

 

huge EOD placement

it says jan 12.  Even better! Does that mean my LVS calls I have been holding for a week expire jan 21?
