These people who are shorting ES tonight ...

Are really going to feel it in the morning -- who in their right mind would be shorting this close to the 900 level?

you MUST be long

 

I am not playing this future's game yet -- I'm just stating an obvious fact. Wait till everyone gets back from the beach and we all realize no terrorist actions took place. Things like this should be a given (that the market sold off before a long holiday weekend), but some people just don't get it.

could be hedging, lotta reasons to play the game, especially futures.

 

If you noticed Friday's action in the last hour, you'd see the trend down. No reason why that wouldn't continue up to shortly after Tuesday's open.

 

Won't be much buying ahead of Sept 11th. That is why futures are tanking.

 

Why is the "900 level" a big deal to you?

 

LOL. Nothing is a "given". You think the market sold off because of the long weekend? How do you know that?

 

I wish you a lot of luck in the endeavor. It sounds like you're going to need it.

 

Dude, "facts" are past tense only. Wait and see how it plays out, never ending lesson book in this game. We don't talk to the market, it talks to us.
