Whatever they are, they are not going to happen.

They will stay as dreams.

I’m not so confident in bull case.  I purchased May 2200 puts yesterday at the close.  I own a 1/2 position and will scale in if we rally more this AM.  I believe we are in a trading band between 2200 & 2600.  It’s not ready to break either level yet.  I think we revisit 2200 as a test and may possibly break all the way to 1800-2000 as final bottom.  My May puts may not give this enough time.  Afterwards, we will start a new Bull market but it won’t be a “V”.  More of a “U-shaped.”

Good heavens! You must be really hurting. Say that over and over again if it makes you feel better.

 

I had a bear fantasy today, if that's what you want to call it. I happen to think anyone who has "fantasies" in the market is in big trouble. There are only simple facts - it is either up or it is down.

 

Anyway, my bear "fantasy" is up 65% at the moment.

Mortgage backed real estate ETF (REM) made new lows in today's trading session.  XRT (equal weighted retail) close to making new downtrend lows. IWM trading in the region of March 24th's opening gap. Safe utility stocks such as Exelon down close to 6 % and trading multi-percent ranges every day.

 

The bear is real and growling fiercely.

I have 2/3 of my REM investment goal.  I'll buy the remaining near the retest of the low but, I need to see how we get there.

 

CODI        12.88%  XLE        20.95%  REM        (20.23%) Emerging Bonds      (8.14%) HY-Tax Free      8.06%

The bottom might have been made, but, it's a very long stretch of imagination that we'll exceed prior highs for a very long time if ever in out lifetime. In 2008, they poured in over $23 trillion dollars to save the banking sector, this time around they need several hundred trillions to prop the bond market.

I see MASSIVE divergences in SPG MAC on these lower low retests here ...

 

Looks like 1 min charts may be starting to turn now.....
