Bears are lining up en masse to swing for the fences here at trendline resistance, it seems. Who's gonna take the other sides of those trades, one wonders?

Darn tough to be long term bullish at these levels. If this is cheap, I can't wait to see what expensive is! I'm bearish and all long term accounts are in cash. Just no reason that I can see anywhere to be excited about stocks. This market reminds me of housing a couple of years ago. Insane but it kept rising until it didn't.

I am very bullish for the next few sessions, this is the end of the month and the Fed will not disappoint, I am bearish beyond May 2nd or so...

Don't be shy folks--step on up and introduce yourselves. It is kind of like a twelve-stepper meeting...

Hi everyone...(pauses to clear throat)...my name is Joe and I am a b...b...b...bear.

<everyone>

Hi Joe!

:lol:

I actually bought even more V ahead of earnings. It feels like a crazy thing to do, like buying amr at the lows etc. I sold that amr today for a nice profit but will most likely continue to trade it getting long on pull backs without posting every trade.
The harder I work, the luckier I get.

I bought puts in the June contracts in the financials, energy and gold issues and hedged mostly in the May contracts in the OEX and NDX index options and some OEX weeklies. I will try to trade the futures intraday, I will be disappointed if the market gives up without testing the downtrend channel tomorrow...
