I'm not going to be touching the (futures) market (short or long) until March 31st. Let's see if I can stick to this promise. I think it will be too easy for the shorts to get squeezed (just one more time) and volatility has a little more to drop before we'll see "business as usual" in the stock market. Specifically, I think we're going to see a huge push by the equity funds to show heavy gains for the quarter-end report. As for the mini-contracts (mini-Euro, mini-Dow, mini-Gold/Silver), I'll never trade them just because of liquidity reasons and that the S&P contract is less risky than the DOW, so why bother trading the DOW? The oil futures (QM on NYMEX) isn't bad though. The spreads are tight enough to make the cost of trading acceptable.
