  3. i am long XLE

    EDIT: should've taken a crap instead. out XLE for a loss.
    EDIT: no performance this week out of me, my mind isn't in it. i should've listened to my plan to do nothing. i made a great trade (LYO short) and did not hold it. and, i made a poor trade (XLE long) after that one and did hold it for a loss. not a big deal money wise but it leaves me sorted. i like being in control, always. in other words, i look to be positioned with an impending move and my trades need to make money out of the gate and show favorable price action. i ignored this on the XLE trade and was in the trap instead of trading the trap. rookie mistake on reading the market/instrument.

    I think that AAPL is starting to give a good longer term short signal. Entry will occur on a breakdown under 36.30. Stops above 37.00.

  10. True. i think that is the safe bet. volatility on this last spike down in GOOG was drying out which signaled to get long. it is increasing steadily and GOOG could test a regression area of $301.5 successfully. we don't want to be short as it is happening ... we want to be cash heavy for this event... ? (aside from oil getting bid and the FOMC this aft.)
