"Q" don't get all emotional on me here... I went to heavy cash - played the NAZ bounce 3 times,did some shorting, also played THX and traded a few oilpatch stocks, leveraged move in TX - PGO I leveraged from that sub $15 tank to a nice trade. PTEN was a nice pop - played KEG a bit, couple of other nice trades. "Q" - what popped ? How many stocks broke away to new highs and have not pulled back ? - tech offered much better trading volatility than the oilpatch of late. I kept FLC & PGO as value,laggards like THX BSNX in Nat Gas - NEV in Oil... TX KMG UCL all did real well for me _ I'm selling into strength here - down to partial positions in everything. What I have never done is to tag along with the trend... I've stayed out front of it. I act - don't react. Actually "Q" - I had some luck on timing on tech - did very, very well - loaded continually to a nice position in FLC & PGO on those pullbacks - all up nicely. Nice pops - sold BSNX yesterday, lighted some THX of late - I think I get to buy everything cheaper - much cheaper soon. Quite frankly, I've done very well here, better than holding my OSX positions would have done. I made more in one day 2 times on VTSS & CMGI moves alone than the OSX has moved in 3 mos... I made some 30-40% pops in 1-2 days on that initial NAZ blow off - SVNX PKTR CMGI VTSS all made huge money - a couple up 40%+ in a single day. No reason to get all "PMS'd" here Q ? So you don't have a clue about currency, or Gold - this was not unlike some of your early comments on EVER UPR etc...remember ? You'll catch on and follow later... nothing new (VBG) ~ PS out of COVD for a buck - crazy tape action of late and started an initial short on SII here at $87 1/4 - waiting for any +$3 type of pops in BJS SII CAM Today - good shorts imo, crude down a bit on inventory add... don't see a volume led flight to safety here - should see profit taking into the rallies - especially at the close.
