in my opinion, all you gotta do is to watch the sentiment spikes... P/C ratios etc... to short.

the system was clogged last week , because of extreme bearishness. It was until someone told me last week I realized I was affecting sentiment polls with my bearish posts.. I tried to put a couple of bullish charts to fix it last weekend but I am not good at playing double faced.

So here is my last post about the big picture, it is the final product of all the things I talked and charted about. It is simple and speaking out loud. I will not response any attacks from now on. When I close those positions in my signature, I will post, regardless the end result. I do not want to distort sentiment here at all although I believe this board doesn't represents overall retail investor sentiment.

I agree the fun is just beginning ... But it is very time consuming and I dont need headache. I will be back when the party is over. I dont have a hard stop for those I opened a few points ago...When I cover you will hear it. But I do have a target for my core position I opened at 1450. You wanna hear it ?

Me, three. Back in October of last year when I was still a raging bull, XD already knew.

I had no clue, I admit, but at least I am dug in now that real risk is surfacing rapidly left and right.

I just don't understand the tranquillity types. Total and utter lack of respect for risk if you ask me.

Either that or they are just playing the "double-faced" game.

Ditto that too. Xd one of the few who lays it out crystal clear, and opens himself up with his conviction. Not many do it here. A few perma bulls stay bullish even after the market tumbles a few hundred INDU and it isnt so helpful for trading IMO. Thats just my opinion. I hope the trades work out for you Xd, really do. I have no short positions on right now.

I am sorry to hear the news that about your posting any longer. I, for one appreciated your inputs, but I understand that several on the board only want to hear it one way and don't have the civility to honor diverse opinions/facts. Best regards... MDW :)
