Is Anyone Left Short?

Todays ES firmness in the face of YM being down 70pts was the final indignity for anyone short.

 

I am short almost 500 IWM right now.

Avg price at 118.3

 

I am looking for a 3-5 point on it. Its been a difficult short because of the crazy momentum.. but my experience tells me that it will resolve ok.

Most traders would rather wait for confirmation which means some weakness or some type of a breakdown... but I know by the time we get that breakdown.. it will be so fast and furious i will probably miss a good chunck of the move.

I'm short here.

 

I am not calling the final top. And I would not go long unless we had some type of 2-3 day pullback on the dialy charts.

Still holding 40 contracts of QQQ naked calls.

 

Bottoms are points, tops are processes, barely anyone ever gets to brag too much right after they catch the top, will take a while before any shorts will be "vindicated"

 

I have a few individual stocks that have been acting weak such as HOV, but not any of the major indexes. I don't see the point right now.

 

What you consider extended others obviously do not
