Impossible to Short

Lately, every time I get brave and decide to short, or buy puts, mother market spits in my face. Maybe this post will mark the top, maybe 1,200 will mark the top, maybe there will never be a top AGAIN. Shame on me for trying to short this freight train.

Take a look at Chess’s blog and notice the Russell & the trannies, that’s about as bullish as a chart can get. However, we still have job numbers to work through, but at the same time who cares? Uncle Ben said the market must trade higher. Maybe that will mark the top? Doubtful.

Going through my scans today, I am still seeing a plethora of bullish charts out there, AND the financials are starting to get their groove on. If the financials can get moving here, I think we may finally bust through 1,200.

Now let’s get into a few setups going into tomorrow.

First up, $DO. With oil above $85, I will be all over the energy space.

$VECO, I like it on strength:

$VLO, Love it above the 200 day MA:

Fly’s $FORM looks great above $10:

$GS, I’m a buyer with strength in the financials:

    Thanks RC – I am still a little leary of energy given that the dollar could bounce at any time i.e JPY intervention. BTW have things calmed down at the Cajun household? Enjoy your sleep now buddy cuz its allllll gonna change LOL
