There is nothing wrong with your television set (monitors). Do not attempt to adjust the picture (internet). We are controlling transmission (the markets). If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume (pretty self explanatory). If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical. We can roll the image, make it flutter. We can change the focus to a soft blur or sharpen it to crystal clarity. For the next hour, sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear. We repeat: there is nothing wrong with your television set. You are about to participate in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to... The Outer Limits (markets).

Nice timing you had on this post. Why didn't you just say you were going to switch the horizontal to a vertical in a minute? :)

I think this action is still semi-bullish, but it is also just as risky... I may keep some longs etc, but I won't post them, too much hassle. Instead, I am just going to say selling short is still early...

Another wild ride arbs I am toast ...ended up about 55% of my best for the day. Hey if it was easy everyone could to it :lol:

Once SPX traded into 1095 It was bullish as I stated yesterday.

The buck wags the dog and if it holds the Dec. 75.10 area on Sunday Night/Monday until then the stocks are bullish and if it cracks we are off to new highs if it holds and reverses the correction is back on.

I think we test 1100+- SPX anyway where is that JD I hid in the office before I left for Florida. :D

Love, be kind to one another, seek the truth, walk the narrow path between the ying and the yang.
