Need to change parameters of MDY exit plan:

1. Remove previous sell order on MDY.
2. Sell 30 MDY (the shares bought most recently) at 76.20 or 83.50. Order will not expire unless explicitly cancelled in a future message.

Rationale: I want to play the run-up to August 14th like a choir, and make sure to exit at a peak profit point. The portfolio would ideally be more leveraged to the upside, but one should liquidate gains if you know there's going to be some heavy downside in a week. It's too late to enter into long positions (unless if you believe that the uptrend will be sustained for a couple months like what happened after 9/11), so I will still choose to be in a cash-heavy portfolio.

This portfolio has been cash-heavy for a majority of the year. Is there anywhere else on this site that has had such low volatility in their portfolio value? Sure, cash isn't sexy, but I don't add positions unless if there's a high probability of winning.
