Dnorman; RE:" Why LatAm ?" >Would you mind explaining why you feel if we go to 8100 it would be time to short Latin America? The information you posted shows LA has gone way lower than our markets. I have to ASSume you are referring to some kind of a copycat volatility compared to our markets. biz.yahoo.com Consider the World Stock Markets Index. We could trade the waves it makes or, focus long positions on geo-markets that grow faster than average, and focus short positions on geo-markets that decline faster than average, just like sector-market indices. LatAm is inherently weaker than any other geo-market right now, as most folks believe that virtual currency devaluations are inevitable. Just as I feel more comfortable shorting (something in) the financial sector rather than the broad market; I feel more comfortable shorting LatAm than I do the USA. As Donald says, when they go down, you can throw a dart (^_^) but the idea is - to beat the SPY standard reference - up or down. As for " ~8100 ", Donald and I are looking for the top of any up-wave to initiate a short position trade - we are speculating on what the extent of any bounce will be - the actual level should become more evident as we all watch things play out. -Steve
