If I was going to short term trade this pig of a market, I would wait for the marginal 52 week highs to come and then place a short position for a day or two on the S&P, MDY, IWM.

I know how tight money is for most people because I'm out there every day and I get lots of calls for my services and I've never had so many people (about half) who don't use me ((and would like to) because of price. I've had to expand my business in other areas, such as Westchester County, to get top dollar. People are hurting. Every day I get people begging me to lower my price. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. I use my judgement and feel for the person I'm speaking to and where they are located. After 30 years, I'm a pretty good judge. If I get the feeling that learning takes top priority in household, I'll relent a bit. Otherwise, no. So, yes, it is all about values in my book too.
