Good morning Bob,

>>If your waiting for the Buffet indicator to make a nice orderly graceful exit, I think you'll be waiting in line with the masses and the exit is a single lane highway. <<

Now Bob, I told you that I am liquidating positions into strength--10% each week. I will sell another 10% today and I will be 40% liquidated. Our difference of opinion has never been whether it is wrong to take profits--but trying to call the top, within a strong uptrend, and taking bearish positions before the market has turned.

I'll go a step further -- I WILL be short the market, through the S&P futures, if/when the the Big K hits--but when I go short it will not be in anticipation of the BigK but because I get a sell signal. The BigK will just be something that I happen to roll into--by accident.

I went long additional contracts of the Sep S&P futures at 906 yesterday. The strong opening that is expected today is somewhat knee-jerk, and I have already placed an order to sell the additional contracts on the open at 920 or higher.

May the trend be with you:)

Take care.
