Ready to Take Some Lumps, if Need Be

With my two short bets under pressure this morning, in the small caps and semiconductors, I am prepared to cut them for about 3-4% losses this morning if there is no downside reversal into the opening gap higher, in the next thirty minutes or so.

Given the back-and-forth in the market the past few weeks, I am inclined to move back to cash and wait things out for better spots to get involved.

What are you trading this morning?

    Nothing. Was positioned for shorts. Stopped out with a little profit. Figure tomorrow will be down day to punish those who jump in here.

    Royals and Giants baseball cards.

    Probably buy some DIA puts if the index backs off.

    Lotta chop out there. I got shaken out of winners like SMCI, only to see them rocket post earnings.
    I am left with two solid long term plays ICLR and LCI which is up $5 today.

    I am waiting for a good earnings report
