Who Is NOT Short Here?!?

with all the bad news expected any day from Europe, is anybody optimistic about the short-term outlook for the market?

 

In cash waiting for a break either direction.

 

Same old Shorty. Same old question.

Why not just ask PRICE?

 

my grandma is heavily SHORT.

she is seldom wrong. don't know how she does it.

 

She reads the results of the polls in your threads.

 

In all seriousness, this might be why a dip here might be temporary. Everyone is either short or hedged, no one will be "surprised" at this point by an EU summit failure.

In contrast, in early August, a lot of people were positioned long going into the weekend, betting the US debt limit issue would be solved. They were right but then subsequently blind sided by the S&P downgrade. That left a lot of room to fall.

 

Vix is at 32 so people are not max hedged (it has been over 40 atleast 10 times in the last 2 monts). But yes in early Aug it was at 20.

 

65% short
35% long

according to Oanda's stats right now

 

I'm short
