You mentioned commercials.... Am I the only one that is concerned about the commercials lately? I saw Jeff Bezos ( Time rag man of the year ) doing a Taco Bell commercial yesterday, GTW has Ted Waite talking to cows and saying the cow is his best friend ( Beastiality anyone? ). I have to say that these just don't make me want to buy stock in AMZN or GTW right now. -gggggg- I am getting the urge to put on my big red nose and floppy shoes as TRIN is behaving better and TICK has come down to a more sustainable range. I better go to sleep before I do something stupid and buy. Good Luck, Lee

Well as long as it has more Volatility than the other indexes I'll play it, if it goes flat yuk :-) ---------------- Flat will eat you up with slipage.. But volatilty will let you leverage both ways ( hedge ) and the side that wins over time goes up (dollar wise ) expotentualy while the losing side does not lose dollar wise in the same way. After any big move you have to rebalace. Lets say your short and long $10K each in a 2x fund and the market is going down 2% a day short = 10,4= 10,816= 11,249 = 11,698 = 12,166 Long = 9,6= 9,216= 88,47 = 84,93 = 8,152 ------- 20,318 So a 10% run like that only makes 1.59% however it don't matter which way it runs. -------------- If it goes flat both sides will lose. But when has the NDX gone flat for any amount of time. "IF" it can rally going into the close today ( 2% or better for the day ) it will validate the Flag last Monday if not the Flag may not stand, so the shorts better shoot at it hard from here to close or get out.
