Chines33: Both long term bets as are most of my portfolio bets that I will snap up..76% long. Looking to add swings

Chines33: I will not rule out intra day shorts with tight stops next week for protection.

vinyal: I would love to see how your positions unfold. U are clearly swinging for the fences. Remember during liquidity crunch fundamentals are...

vinyal: Thrown out of the windows. Look no further than AAPL that trades 10x forward earnings for a fast growing company and no one wants it

Chines33: 2008 everyone was overleveraged to the max including US businesses and individuals..now they are not also lean and flush with cash...

Chines33: Right now everyone is hedged or extrneley short with an absurd flow of my money into bonds and money markets..with undervalued stocks....

Chines33: Who will be left selling?

Chines33: You can barely get short major indexes like XLF IWM even of you wanted to...when this thing unfolds you are going to see a massive rally.

Hypnos7: Aren't these just symptoms of a liquidity trap? Flush with cash but still can't deleverage, and now the sovereigns are entering crisis.

vinyal: You are seeing cracks in all the growth stocks. Crm AAPL Bidu cmg pcln Wynn Amzn. History tells us when these generals die it ends badly

vinyal: There are a lot of people who are long here with a hope of end of the year rally. They will be selling. Look at the bounce you got today

Chines33: For Europe banks perhaps.

vinyal: All this is like reading the tea leaves of market action. I think the downside is about to pickup steam

Hypnos7: To this novice chart reader, the technicals look horrible. The only bright spot for the bulls is that the dollar may be topping a bit.

Hypnos7: Need some good news to turn this around.

vinyal: Yes the good news is MIA. and the more the end of the year rally start feeling like bag holders the more vitriolic the downside move will be

vinyal: Anything is possible. But unlike a casino you want odds stacked in your favor. in this market going long is like playing Russian roulette

vinyal: .....the odds are stacked against you. The killings u can make by betting against odds is so luring that u easily gloss over the obvious

Hypnos7: I think Chines is well-hedged with plenty of cash. No harm swinging for the fences if you limit your downside risk.
