What if you're wanting to play Options (swing/position)? GMMTA - I was all over this today, thinking I gotta start paying attention again.

Been out for almost 2 months now....the bond market got my attention.

Just added to short S&P positions (few weeks old), as well as adding to TBT.

Closing that screen, I see this ticker.

This may not be the big one, but it will certainly set up like this......

I think the case is very strong on going short. I jumped in a short GS trade last night because it looked way over bought and it looked like a reversal coming. Im mad I didnt buy more :) as far as the overall market I still am sticking with friday as my go balls to the walls short. I think we have a hefty pullback coming.

Disclosure DYODD I dont feel like being sued the government has taken enough from me

Are we talking a local top with a few-day scalp before continuing higher, or a swing top for a 1-3 month position?

I laid it out in the Ticker; you have three places for a stop; the first off entry, the next down around the second channel bottom, and the thrird around the diamond's confluence @ 860.

If it blows through THERE and keeps going I'll reassess at that point.

Be careful and NOT greedy - remember the Turdsday before OpEx rule.

Likely follows through tomorrow and turns either Monday or Tuesday for next week.

That was exactly why I was hesitating to go short at all right now.

I've been out of the market for what seems like so long, I was worried I'd forgotten how to trade.
