    It does seem that we are ready to drop below the S&P upper trend line again. We left that gap up on March 18th from 1276 to 1302 open and it may be time to fill it. When we do, it won't be a chip shot to 1250, but rather a birdie putt. Ever mindful that the squeezes can get viscous on the way down, to quote an infamous American, I say: "Bring'em On!," every squeeze is another opportunity to short. We are down nicely today (Congratulations cmdtytrdr!). Let's hope for a a nice, big, juicy squeeze on Monday so we can short some more! :cool:

    Yes, i agree that there should be some strong resistance in the 1250-1270 area. Eventually we will go lower, but i too expect strong resistance there.

    As more and more moms and pops take a look at there 401's and IRA's they will start to think of moving everything to money market,and as that happens there will have to be more fund sales to generate cash for redemptions. At some point this will build to a crescendo . And then, all the moms and pops will panic and we will get a great buying opportunity. In the meantime we can just ride these markets down and let the big funds drive them lower and lower as they liquidate assets in response to redemption requests.
