That would be my ideal setup as well - which means it won't happen that way. <NG> We'll either cr*sh from here, or launch to new highs. Just my luck.

However, my strategy is built around that scenario. Sell a little into strong days like today, but hold off on most of it for a lengthy chop up to the flash crash jumping off point. So far it all looks a LOT like the events of ten years ago (ten years and one month, actually)

so I figured I'd sell a little into a bounce a few days after the initial selloff, then a little more the next week, then hopefully sell a bunch at about these same levels in July, and then the remainder in August. That assumes that I don't get blown out of the water by a huge rally in the meantime. If we are weaker than I expect, I only get about half sold and regroup. If we blow to new highs, I stand back and regroup. But hopefully by exercising patience and trying to sell only into bounces I can minimize my risk while still making a decent return.
