Haim - The only way he got creamed in March is if he did not follow his own advice.

His calls have been amazingly accurate at times, months in advance.
Top at 1793 this month missed by 13 cents - called 1 1/2 months ago.
How is that for a call?

Called JNPR from 9 to 30 and apologised for missing by $3.
Some do not believe his trades, as for me I do not care.
I shorted in Jan and regretted it.
I shorted in Apr-May and got creamated
Lost my nerve and was only small short in SEPT
Learned my lesson and did not short the first few bounces in OCT but feel like an idiot for not going long.

I am starting to average into QQQ puts here.
May buy more tomorrow.
If Zeev is bearish, top is likely within a week or so.

Al Qaeda Cash Tied to Diamond Trade
Sale of Gems From Sierra Leone Rebels Raised Millions, Sources Say

"When prices go up and supply goes up, it means someone is seeking to launder or hide cash, and we believe that is the case here," a U.S. official said. "Diamonds don't set off alarms at airports, they can't be sniffed by dogs, they are easy to hide, and are highly convertible to cash. It makes perfect sense."
