If today is flat, I sure as hell won't go long tomorrow morning. Waiting won't have cost me anything, and getting in after the market went up this morning would have cost me a lot . . . so, I'll sit on my cash some more.

Haim: I got an hourly count at 1530 on Friday on the SPX that was sufficient for a bounce or sideways action. I think we might rally back to the 4/4 low, but I have a sell stop in just in case (more than 1 tick below Friday's low so the floor traders don't scalp me). The Trin is improving and the 30 minute VIX has turned down. I'm not ready to go long, though, even if we do have a vicious rally. I'm content to sit and do nothing. What bothers me is the way the SPX stopped above its February lows. I would have preferred that those lows were violated, even by a tick. I'll save my ammo for selling.

Example of selling options on SUNW on Friday at the close.

Sell SUXDQ for 3 now 3 1/2

Sell SUXPQ for 10 1/2 now 3 2/4

Downside risk own SUNW at 71 1/2 (long)

Upside risk be short SUNW at 98 1/2

I anticipate they will expire worthless
