Let's wait for Ben...
1. Always wait for the setup. NO SETUP; NO TRADE

2. The trend will END but I don't know WHEN.

actually there is a method to trade... it goes like this..

when you feel like Shorting, go Long
when you feel like a Long, go Short

you should have a 50-50% chance of getting one right :lol:

TOL:-

Still no blow-out on the S&P, H&S pattern or breakdown yet.

So it's still a bit dangerous to short the S&P in view of money flowing into the market from a New Month, as well as 1Q Window Dressing activities, over the next two weeks...

HK is breaking down though.

Why do I have this feeling that I should start buying some Puts & Inverse ETFs ?

TOL:-

Is today the time for you to short ie. the formation of the "M" ?

And what industry would you be shorting ? Life Insurance ? Oil ?

The "experts" on TV are saying that this is a bull market and any dip is a buying chance ...

TOL:-

Time to short now, since AAPL's announcement is out ?

Or wait till 1Q Window Dressing is over ?

Maybe wait till May ? :P

Wanna jump in front of a freight train ? :?

TOL:-

If this rally breaks on a sharp drop, it would probably be safe to position trade for a few months.

If this rally does not break on a sharp drop, then I can only swing trade for at most two weeks.
