I am taking a break; I am bearish until March and I look for half of the correction at least by FOMC, this doesn't leave much sideways room for January in my view, then I will be bullish for spring and we will see for the summer. I will try to come back but there are too many pressing issues that I should spend my time with utmost attention. I will try to take some notes on my blog a bit... Best of luck.

Hey Arbie buddy, This place will never be the same without you. I'm not sure if it's even worth hanging around as much anymore. However, I understand that you'd have to take care of yourself and your family first. That's the reality; this is just a virtual reality. Look forward to seeing you soon. Until then, you'll be sorely missed...

Going to miss you, and you better stay in touch! Thanks for turning me back into Frankenstein before you thought of leaving.

The link for the blog is in my profile, thanks guys... I have not been correct with my bearish call since the second half of December for the last 20-25 points. I am looking for a sell off to 1090 zone at a minimum over the next 2-3 weeks and 100 points until March to 1040-1060 region, but we'll see. Like NAV said above, we just could not drop below 1131 support and the govt may finish the show with some spectacular fireworks at the end toward 1160s. I will only sell spikes (squeezes) for the next 1-2 sessions and instead remain neutral, we may get such a spike over 1137 on Tuesday at the open and it should fail right away to fill the 1110-1115 gap --we may get a mini sell off anyway. The ideal setup was a gap down, but it looks like it won't happen. I thought any support until 1090 should hold for a few hours, but then the mad scientist is still in charge and I feel like he is trying to hook up his electrodes to my head again...

I had already found it, five minutes after asking arbman. When I asked I was not logged in, so I thought to log in and go to visit his profile. There I found ................visit my website ......which thing I did ................leaving my request here without editing it. Anyway thank you guys, you are kind and the forum is really not bad. Arbman will be missed for all the time he won' t be posting here as his posts are always well tuned with the market. Get back in march or the sooner you can .........arb. My regards to you and to all the rest of the guys here.

sorry ...........things went like this : I logged in and read arbman's post and thought to ask him about his blog. Then I quit hoping he would answer. Later, not seeing a quick answer, to get information about him I clicked on his name ...........a window told me I could not get information if I had not logged in before and I did..................I found his profile and .........''visit my website''. What remained impressed in my memory then was that when I clicked on his name .......nothing appeared to me about him ... just the request to log in............... That' s why I wrote the nonsense above ....''when I asked I was not logged in'' ....................it's a nonsense. Sorry because of the confusion and because of my english as well ............but here it's thirteen past eleven p.m. ...............and I need to sleep. Good night to everyone.
