As bad as today was, we didn’t see one stop. Could we get nailed tomorrow? Of course. The Korea’s were front page, but everyone was still worried about Portugal & Spain. Ireland is so two days ago. Maybe credit spreads and our market sell off is overdone, but time will tell. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Eve, so I don’t see many long bets before that, especially with a maniac who is probably doing cocaine with his hands on too many buttons.
The financials are rolling over and I feel bad that I missed that entire trade, that’s my sweet spot and wheelhouse on the short side, but I was paying too much attention to other things.
This dollar rebound has been amazing and forceful, it will fail soon though, and materials and oil will be the place to be. I like nibbles in that space right here. I grabbed some more UYM, UPL DO and MOS ( later not a P&L name yet) today near the end of trading. The sectors are getting short term oversold and could bounce big over the next few days.
I over traded today and had a stop sign put on my desk. My bad.
There are no new names tonight and wont be until next week most likely, as holiday trading and geopolitics are screwing up this party.
You all I know I lean bearish and have for so long, with that said, I think we get get one more big bounce higher, then we sharpen our swords and leave body parts.
