Re-read the post. I look for shorts "IN" SP500 and longs "IN" NDX. I don't trade indexes, I trade equities. Akin to arbitrage and hedging.
"Donald Trump appeared on CNBC in April 2006 representing Trump Mortgage and made the statement, "I think it’s a great time to start a mortgage company [...] the real estate market is going to be very strong for a long time to come." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_Mortgage "In 2007, Trump Mortgage folded operations and Donald Trump licensed his name to First Meridian Mortgage. "
In the "The S&P has topped" thread I predicted the top for mid-March, and sure enough, the SPX did top (well, second top) on March 15th. For the year I predicted a negative return, and since the SPX was up already at 6%, we needed a pretty good correction. Now the correction is underway. To explain my bearishness: There is zero chance that the idiot in the WH is not going to be impeached or cause a serious international crises, and that will spook the market. Not to mention the market has been in rallying mode for forever, it needs a break.
My trader friends and I dancin' to the beautiful open... (I'll Take You Down, I'll Take You Down! Come down SPX!) Yeah!!!!! Also a tribute to my friends across the pond!
