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.

Pls sign and forward this template to GS, Obama Campaign, and The Fed.

Dear XXX,

Please, please, please fade Karl Denninger and break the bears' back once and for all. Do NOT allow for a retest, especially a drastic and steep one. I repeat do NOT allow retest and go straight to 1,000.

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.
