Vix hit my 72-74 target… take profits in shorts, move to longs

Hi traders.  The Vix hit my “buy” signal that I outlined yesterday.  Therefore, I covered some shorts, namely my best short MercadoLibre, Inc. [[meli]] , which I was shorting in the 20s.  I’m not saying to get real bullish here, but if you’re searching for a countertrend rally, I’d start digging here.  Using my strategy outlined yesterday, whatever oversold sector you buy today, make sure you set your stops to today’s low.

As for me, I bought Fly’s pick NOV, which has formed a nice 4-day base.  However, I shorted SKF.

    VIX going to 100 looks like. Dow futures down 500 in overnight trading.
    I can’t believe I closed out all my shorts.

    I dont really pay attention to futures, but that’s a big number. We could get an opportunity for a reversal. Watch that “gap-down” trade i was talking about. If there is a move and tape tries to fill the gap, then you can start getting long setting stops to the day’s lows.
