Tricky Tape

At 9:30 my TZA looked good. At 10:30 not so much. At 11:30 it looks good again, sort of. I closed out my TZA for a 1% loss, pared off my losers, bought a bunch of retail oriented stocks, and now I wait.

On one hand, market looks good. Lots of consumer names are popping. But on the other, there is a general malaise and weakness in the tape, coupled with end of year weak as shit volume that reeks of desperation.

I want stocks higher only because I own them now. Do stocks deserve to go up is another question.

Breadth is middling at 52% and the best hedges are against biotech and oil. Healthcare stocks have been the single worst sector in 2021, which is ironic.
