Greenlaw: a question. You say .25% position. Are you taking a 1/4 position or .25 of 1% position? If a quarter position (I myself buy in 1/3rds)the correct way is 25%. MP

Agreed... only thing I'd point out is that this "rally" or secular bull within larger bear has been on very light (summer?) volume, so not sure there is that much bullish sentiment out there, just low-volume buying (painting the tape?)...

I don't trust moves this big when they happen with below ave. volume.

Like you, I don't think we've seen all of the shoes drop yet and March was not THE bottom.

However, we have to deal with this low-vol. rally and trade the volatility... just as important as positioning to make money on the way down is positioning to make money on bear rallies, or secular bulls that last a lot longer than the fundamentals would support within longer/larger bear markets.
