S&P futures @ 4:35 PM 1331.8 down 18 for day. S&P closed at 1328 down 12. Looks like market sold off 1/2% after hours.

I have been riding overweighted short position since 1325 S&P and have pocketed 8% in premiums the last 5 months and was forced to raise cash to meet maintenance requirements when we where at 1420 in S&P just 2 weeks ago. Giving up stuff like MSFT @ 95 and RMBS @ 114 weren't hard decisions. However, I got snookered in this week @ 95 and out again today @ 90. Will not touch any RMBS until 85 buying in back on way to 75 similar to the way I did in spring. RMBS is a real wild stock.

jd,

The shorts might feel pretty good about riding this thing up to 117'sh and seeing it fall back to here. This is probably giving them a nice shot of resolve, IMO. The much awaited upcoming news and strength might need to be fairly convincing in order to shake them out of their position, but this is just speculation on my part...

Happy Hunting!
