It Cannot Get Worse Than This: I’m Long

This Yellen testimony is so bad, it’s a victory that the market isn’t down 300. Well, technically, the day is young, so anything can happen.

Nevertheless, I like the fact that stocks aren’t down 300 after Yellen projectile vomited onto my television screen.

I added to my SPY position, hoping for a late day rally.

In the event stocks do go down 300, my TLT should offset some of the SPY losses. And, I still have 25% in cash.

    Odd day with TLT/TLO up, and stocks up too, though equities are much higher on a relative basis for the day. Something has to give; minor relief rally for the next couple days possibly? Who knows…

    Holding longs, not sure if I’m going to buy more. It can go either way for sure.

      Fly still has one foot on the Ark with his TLT & cash. But one foot off of it with his SPY.

    Lots of people leaving the Ark. I think I just saw Gartman on the promenade deck. He had his hands full of those mini shampoos and conditioners.

    The TLT is clearly a winning position. Why wouldn’t you add to it?
