Use less salt when eating your hat, unless its a new one. Actually, I figure Thursday is the big shoe dropping day, March 4th for a couple of reasons: The employment numbers coming out Wednesday will show continued strength, and since its looking like ther really isnt a correlation between inflation and unemployment like in the good old days (something the media gunks haven't figured out yet but Al Greenspan has) the bond marketers will panic and try to get everyone else to panic. At any rate there will probably be a real short a bond selloff, but then bonds will do nothing. The market will tank, and then rebound on Friday. I figure I will either exit the Bear fund Wednesday if the SPX is below 1215, or Thursday for sure if that scenario plays out. Both Thursday and Friday will be great days to go long for both trades and position holds if this is how things work out. If not, then I'll take may partof the hat with a little chianti and some fava beans... lastshadow and here is some off-topic stuff...
