Not doing much myself, 50% cash, some SRS, some gold/silver, some oil/gas.

Half in with gold/silver/miners. Tempted to nibble at some SRS but my gut says stand clear. I'd guess folks have been scared off of taking any big short positions in this environment. Cox et al have proven ruthless to hold things up.

I've done much the same....flipping some things here and there, like DGP today (I'm out of it now). A little day trading around the edges. Added SDS at the close 'cause the ramp was too good to pass up. And if we don't have a deal by Monday (which I give a 60% chance), the market will gap down. If they do deal, the terms will matter. A lot. I wouldn't be surprised if the short selling ban gets extended. "They" think it's a huge success, and will continue to up until the day we crash.
