Yes we are..but I think tomorrow everyone should lighten up on their holdings in the 'nets. I don't short stocks, I never met anyone who made any money shorting stocks in the long run. I do meet people who can explain to you the intracacies of going long and going short on this and that signal, but they freeze when it comes to actually making the trade. I recognize the symptoms, the caution, conservatism, unwillingness to commit, reciting extremely fancy formulas but never actually trading, calling short when market is bullish, consistently selling good stocks after 1/2 to 1 point gains and the stock then flies up another 10, disappearing when there are decisions to be made and reappearing and claiming they've made 'the right decision'. Those traders who read this will recognize themselves. Never take any tips from such traders. How will you recognize them? They cover their insecurity by criticizing those that can trade well, they generalize, saying nothing, and they will never actually call an entry and exit because they can't. They wouldn't dare short and they can't go long. Ignore them and they will go away, because they need an audience to thrive. .. I have seen it all etc. I buy puts and will probably buy puts tomorrow and will post the entries as I always do.
