....lets not also forget that SEPT/OCT is statistically the worse timeframe for the market

Don, do you know this from your own research or have you like the rest of us simply accepted this idea as common market wisdom? I ask because Don Hays, who is super bullish right now, had the following in his report this morning.

So, here’s another big piece of positive historical patterns. We have been conditioned to believe that October is the hideous month that we have to crawl in our hole and try to avoid. That is based upon several of the big crashes in history occurring in that month. But that is not true. In fact, it is exactly the opposite. When you look at the months of the year and the performance of the S&P 500 in those months during the last ten years (since 1992) you find the following performance.

January 1.53%
February 0.63%
March 1.44%
April 1.44%
May 0.98%
June 1.57%
July 0.77%
August -0.91%
September 1.11%
October 1.85%
November 1.50%
December 1.80%

I’m indebted to Jason Trennert of Ed Hyman’s ISI group for this historical comparison. But you can see that August, this month is where the damage has traditionally been done. That actually leads to the next five months with enormous upside bias.

Don: The Vix is amazing here. Did not think it would make a lower low than the beginning of August. It did with a huge spike down today. And it did not print a higher high this cycle despite the new cycle market lows.

I am not sure you will get your Class I sell signal. I don't think you have had the market get to a closing Class I sell signal in some time. I am not sure about playing the your sell signals as one would in a "normal" market. Over the past few weeks -- when playing the long side -- the best rule of thumb has been to take the money and run. I followed that rule today.

I was reminded of the MSFT mid-July pop and fade and thought it might be deja vu all over again. Rule there was to sell within two days of the pop as those were the highs. Difference now, of course, is that we are at the end of the month whereas MSFT announcment was in the earlier part of the month.

I saw the squeeze potential developing yesterday. I saw it gather momentum this morning. And after I became convinced it would close at the highs, I let it ride to the close. I figured I could get the highs of the day or better in the aftermarket and not have to wait to see if the Friday-Monday rule would hold fast. It worked as I dumped it all there for premium prices. But I must say there were not too many shorts there in panic mode.

I may have left some on the table, especially since all of CNBC was saying not to make too much of this rally and that it was probably short covering. When they say anything, I generally think the opposite. But I am looking to short any rally. All-in-all, this is setting up to be one nice shorting opportunity.

I wonder what glorious upgrades and market calls we will get at the end of next week.

CNBC said that the BTK maybe going up in anticipation of some upcoming Biotech conferences. Investors are trying to position for some good news at those conferences and with reference to the "labor day rally", as I recall, everyone and their mother expected one last labor day. So what happened? There was a big nasdaq rally that lasted throughout August into the labor day weekend in anticipation and sure enough the market hit a brick wall the day after labor day. I'm not trying to predict if there will be a rally this year. To quote you "heck if I know"

Don
I gave a "standard error channel buy signal" on Friday and you show over bought on the Nasdaq. What day was your buy signal?
