Well If I do any put options I'll want out past May on most of
them..but I have no reservations now..we are going down.
The broad market (TIDE) is decending at about a rate of 3% a month,
this rate could speed up at any time..at times you may see some
rip tides or counter currents..but the TIDE is going out now
it turned around April 3rd to 6th...as always when the tide
first turnes it can be hard to discern, as it more often than
not moves slowly at first.
I'm a little late spotting it..but it's for sure going out now.
I'm not hedging this in any way..the TIDE is falling.
I'll be full short by Monday eve.
The wave did not break as dramatic as our friend had said,
but he did have the timing right on. If he went out a month
or so on his contracts he got it right as the rise since then has
just been a bubble..and I think that bubble has just about
bursted. Except for the SOXX..but when it falls then it will
be damm near to late to go short.
