You gotta love this market. Gives you ample opportunities to short. I added to my shorts today. I think we have a massive selloff starting tomorrow. Gotta load up on the short side.

So Isaac, they can run this all the way to 2314 on light volume today... save some ammo.

I am adding my shorts slowly. Not really doing the indexes. I have had more success with individual names. But I like the run up. I have been looking to short for a week now. I think the market is going to tank pretty big at some point this week. ;)

Ditto on individual issues, Index Trading is not yet my cup of tea :lol:

Glad you are seeing what I see, because I have been a big chicken to add to my shorts. Just wish I could figure the point of least pain. :D

It looks like the end of quarter fun run is coming to an end. And I did not even get to get all the shorts I wanted. I got enough though. Lets see if they could take it up a bit more though. It does not look very promising right now though.

I've found the exact opposite.

Playing the index ETFs long or short seems to nail my daily support / resistance targets like clockwork.
I think maybe it's the operators have a more dificult time manipulating them than the individual stocks.
