That's where my head is at right now BC. It will depend on how we count out the last little wiggles (i.e., is it a failed fifth, blah, blah). This is sooo early, as you well understand, and these little wiggles today convince me of little in the bigger picture. I wouldn't be surprised if the boyz try to ream the early shorts here. I took my profits quickly, perhaps too quick, but it ain't middle time yet. Speaking for myself, I think it's easy to get too excited at potential turns and get too aggressive or use stops that are too slack. One may have to whack it a few times to get it right. When she rolls, the small losses will just look like the admission price to the big show.

On the weekly, I don't think CSCO will take out the extremely steep DT line coming off the January highs -- tsk, tsk. -gg Has implications that...

A friendly warning This goes back to what BC said here. Ask yourself "Does this down look/feel impulsive? Does it have some balls?" So far, other than the little roll off the very top, this is timid down. A swoosh down here would reassure me some, but at this point my spidey senses are tingling just a little bit and I am glad to be out with some profit rather than sweating this silly sideways action. Nothing's changed. Turn looks OK so far imo. Just a reminder that when you think a market has turned, but the down is timid, it's a mild warning flag.
