  6. Quite simple.
    The Cash SPX is absolute.
    Much easier to chart over multi-month time frames rather than a futures contract which is subjected to declining premium over time and expiration every 3 months.

  8. Definitely the dollar strength. Looked at FNM and other stuff and decided it didn't matter with dollar that strong.

    Bought the open and let her ride.
