    Near the close, and the long profits were there if you took them, and now the shorts are on the move. Wonder what tomorrow holds ... ?

    Follow-up: 1 hour in, and the S&P has turned positive, with the banks nearly at break-even on the way up! Well, the bounce is on. Profit today on day-trading longs, but I'm still holding my unleveraged (mistyped in earlier post above, sorry) shorts for the longer term.

    You can't fight the current momentum, but neither will you be able to fight it next month when a reversal will occur.

    Given the flu fears (agreed, overblown) and the uncertainty of the stress tests, I expected the open to be more down than it is; so, maybe we can expect some sort of bounce during the day, but for me, the next few weeks are on a downward slope. I'm leaving leveraged ETF alone most days now, and buying inbeveraged shorts on the financials and the S&P.

    Why the delay? Uncertainty doesn't make for optimism. We've a bankrupt financial system and have little choice but to bail it out with tax dollars, whipping the financiers who put us here as much as possible to make us feel just a little better. At the same time we have to trust our politicians to do the job, which is also not adding to the feel-good factor: and at the end of it, we pretty much know it'll get worse. So, let's get the proposed deal out as quickly as possible, so we can see how much more it's gonna cost us and then we an get on with dealing with the bad. The sooner we do, the sooner we can get through.
