gotta sneak my two cents in here
the selloff in first week of January this month was a warning

I expected about a 10% selloff and quick recovery last week
this is a warning to be heeded
I expect each selloff following runups and stalls to be just as severe (at least)
last week we saw 180 to 140, which is about 23% in decline

next selloff has one more news item behind us -- earnings
the more realized events gone by, the more the selling
lost ambiguity means lost value temporarily

my current plan is to sell atmoney calls
with raised cash, buy atmoney puts
I call it a "cashless hedge with 100% delta"

the more a stock goes up, the more susceptible it is to selling
cannot avoid this truism
the smart will return at lower prices
the sheep will just get sheared

maybe that was three cents
sorry Molloy, you are right -- my TA is pure bullshit
thanks for the thoughtful words, as always

when we meet, the depth of impression I make on you will be inversely proportional to the depth of your thought process

just figuratively, of course
your intellect and breadth is NO match
I dont think you would make a good sandbox partner
