Bulls, Don’t Celebrate Just Yet

evil-google-logo

Michael Jordan has left the building, and you traded away your best shooting guard Ben Gordon.  Even a bad team upsets the champs once in a while.  This doesn’t mean they’re not a bad team.  However, if a team is on a row, sometimes you just have to let them cool off by themselves.

Tomorrow I will sell some longs (ANCI, PALM, JASO) at gains (I hope) which will keep my record for this month pretty spicey on both the long and short side.   Yesterday’s follow-through was very weak, so I expect weak longs to bring us back down before we go up.  I am not in a rush to get long this tape, and neither should you.  I’m not going to cheerlead a tape when there’s still a lot of questions to be answered about the economy.  This is different from 2003-2005 when we knew less and partied more.  We will go back down again very soon, but not before we get some tug-of-war action going, and another false rally or two.   I haven’t quit on the bears yet.  Earnings season during bear markets is tough for bears because the bad news is usually already out.

Sell on the rips:

– tech

– solars

– retail
