Hello EP, imo, and more in context, in accordance to what I am at and doing, <<Big US trade defict, 60 Billion for the month ...vs. Euro>> ... I am mostly out non-USD/non-HKD cash positions, believing a USD/HKD bounce is happening, best to step aside, only to re-enter in wallop tranche strength in a few (9-12?) weeks. I am psychologically prepared to see Euro visiting 1.2, and figure gold may pay respect at 380. <<I have been cutting even a few higher priced Canroys>> ... Dunno about this, because I have so far found Canroy consolidation to be limited in pain level, especially given the whole portfolio approach taken. Which one's do you consider high priced? <<A stock prints a +0.02 for the day, and it may be out the door soon>> ... :0) a serious donot wanter. <<I have roughly 15% cash, 5% RYVNX (a bear fund, -200% of Nasdaq 100) and puts on QQQQ, EBAY, and ADBE>> ... my experience last year was take profit on QQQQ puts whenever able; ... I suspect puts on EBay may be equally trying as shorting housing shares ;0/ <<The market is choppy, but it seems some stocks have big enough one - two days moves that day trading may be worth while....>> ... a different kind of game, a time intensive. More pondering on markets later, and let's hope brian/Maurice stops with their revision of history, denying biology, and refuting nature, as in what is and can only be :0) Chugs, Jay
