Wait till the end of Q1 before you commit to the short side. They got to get it up a bit more so 401kers dont all commite sucide when they open the ststements.
My broker and I had a VERY long conversation today about the emini sp, he advised me to go short at 818.

I was reading your posts for the past few months and you struck me as a pretty big blowhard, someone who probably doesn't trade at all, given how likely you were to call others 'idiots' etc. Not one of the successful traders on here who I know ever post in the manner you do, insulting people left and right and telling everyone how great they are. However, I see that you have the decency to admit that you were wrong. Maybe you're not just a run-of-the-mill troll after all.
