Remember last year at this time? Jerry Cramer, Larry Kudlow, and Charles Maxwell all lost big shorting oil at $13-$15. I wonder if any of them learned anything? Kudlow obviously hasn't.

Slider, I'm completely off margin because I see the techs retesting the lows and I'm not sure how SLB and BJS will react if/when they break and close below their 50 dmas. In terms of "having been on margin" I was reducing every day and sold all of my remaining margin this morning. Since I was buying laggards at every op, this pullback was very minor to me. But I do see some great buying ops coming where I will use margin again. The techs could easily lose 5-8% here in one day if they retest the lows. I don't see the broad market going up in the face of that kind of sell off. We are nearing buy time, but not there yet.
