Lightened up just a little. Expecting a pullback.

Its Friday we rallied almost 1500 points off the low this week. Volatility is still at 58. MCO is looking a bit overbought for the ST. Even though I still think we're in an IT uptrend, the rally will likely be very choppy and no reason to chase anything to the upside. If I had to take a wild guess, we'll have about 40 point pullback on SPX over the next few days. Timing unknown. Short a bit AAPL, KSS and long a bit SDS and TWM just for giggles. Still plenty long. New long idea CBST.. made a new 52 week high today. Looks very good. Breaking out from a big base.

Speaking of giggles. How about LVS, WYNN, and/or MGM for short scalps as market pulls back?

Nice play, OGM. A move back toward the zero line is HIGHLY probable here.
