>> I'm really struggling to latch onto a theme anyways <<

The single best advantage we have as individuals is we can simply not trade. If you're looking for a theme cash is good. I know you've done really well going short this year, but right now I agree there are risks in both directions. Probably too early, but I've already taken the bulk of my shorts off the table again. I'm becoming a day trader going to cash often 100% by the EOD. And it's working pretty good in general.

Thanks for the heads up on some of your individual shorts. Took a few positions as most that you recently mentioned looked like unsustainable short covering rallies.

I like the E&Ps at some pt and XOP seems like a good vehicle, but right now no position. CHK making a new 52 week low. They're a survivor, but in liquidation mode it's hard to say how low the sector will go.
