Good Morning GZ, I'm just trying to get cute here. If I lever my account - it must be on an extreme down moment. I have some momentum indicators that are slower than others and am waiting for them to confirm. Intc and T are two stocks quick to begin the recent downtrend. Amat and Csco were late to begin participation. So I'm looking for a modest last decline, but a decline that has broad participation amongst the many. Trying to catch the tail and not endure draw down. I'm OK if I miss it as my position is fully invested. I must see my last minute buy trigger to get a bit levered. If ALL the puts I've sold resulted in buying stock - I'd have cash to buy a nice dividend yielding portfolio.To lever that I'd have some margin but at a lower cost than the dividend yield would produce. With this long market advance there is not that much premium built into puts - so it requires more fear/down. I'm hoping for another final wave, that's get a bit more fear in the market - read that premium in puts. Looking at it this morning I think it is a buy today: screencast.com With the markets crappy acceptance of aapl's record quarter and the impact aapl has on qqq's I think the open is a great opportunity to time. screencast.com Bob '

I opened my purse strings yesterday and did some buying. What I bought is still down a tiny bit but I have hopes this change in the "Fear and Greed Index" is a decent signal. I posted a short article: Fear & Greed Index Recovering "With the index starting to move higher after sharp decline below 40, it is possible the current market correction is about over." My CLX chart says a tradable bottom is close and my support charts suggest we could get a decline to one more support level, but if you use a fat pencil on a long-term chart, it could be close enough. I was hoping the Crapple news would have given a big flush this AM for a turn-a-round-Tuesday, but I think there is a TON of cash looking for a better yielding home than bonds.
