    60-70% chance of up or flat
    30-40% chance of down
    Momentum V Trend
    Personally I don't like the odds at this point!

    If momentum subsides without pullback then pick your entry and go with the bull trend without the drop in price.
    If you get a pullback lucky you, apply your normal approaches, bearing in mind that at this point the risk profile may very well have altered. Like in a game of Chess, even though you have a strategy, you must always re assess your options after each move.

    Just because a market is overbought doesn't mean that it won't go higher often it means that it will. Buy a rising market!

    Just a few observations for anyone interested, for the others please feel free to ignore!

    It's the middle of winter here, if I put large shorts on, I'll have to sit down to take a leak!

    This market is full of hot air and PR spin. The majority of earnings reports I'm reading are not earnings at all. They're simply beating expectations, which were too low to begin with.

    "XYZ reports sales down 42%, but beat expectations."

    Stock up 25% in a week.

    All hot air.

    Hi guys,
    I'm curious, what means do you employ to protect your accounts when you go short in instances such as the current bull run?

    Regards

    Financials and transports WEAK all day long.

    I guess some have their dow 10,000 rally caps on for the big day, its only another 13% away, I think we get this run before August 1st, 2009.


    Risk free returns on wallstreet.
