Thanks for sending that, the hard part is where are we on that chart? You'd have had to have very good timing and get out quick when the resulting bear rallies started. Imagine you start putting on short positions there on that first rally off the bottom. You got creamed on the second rally back up (that steep incline up is shorts climbing over each other to try to get out). If you were patient and waited for that first rally to fizzle and the bounce back to play out, you did OK but it looks like there were plenty of pull backs which were false tops followed by steep bear rallies.
