Little trip down memory lane of top calls: 1997 - 10 year anniversary of the 87 crash. Oh boy did many hedge funds get burned on the short side http://www.lowrisk.com/top.htm When calling a top you not only have to be right, you have to be right at the right time.

As of Monday night, the HSNSI stood at 40.2%. That's barely half its record high reading of 79.7%. Furthermore, consider that Wednesday, the day before the stock market's big drop that took nearly 150 points off the Dow Jones Industrial Average , the HSNSI stood at 59.6%. Even though the DJIA as of Monday's close was back almost to the same level as last Wednesday's, the HSNSI is nearly 20 percentage points lower."
....................and once again Rubberbird is a perfect fade!! Thanks Rubberbird volente00 owned you again $$$
The "call" is that the S&P 500 is very close to topping out. That's the call. How is the premise that the S&P 500 is very close to topping out wrong based only on what happened today ??
The value of the call is in how it is perceived, and so the related consensus is more important than the call itself.
