What’s it gonna be, near-term?

I’ve heard the word “hope” about a hundred times in the media coverage of the markets last night You know what they say about “hope” as an investment philosophy.

After dropping double digit percentages THIS WEEK, is it smart to go home long, short or flat for the weekend? It is too late to short unless there is a bone-fide Black Monday crash.

Going long is certainly risky as the desire/need to “get liquid” will shred any support in any chart. And being flat is just that.

As you can see in my previous blog entry, big DOW support is at 11200, then 10900. I am willing to commit capital to those levels if reached. Also I have a feeling that there will be some bullshit rescue plan out of ECB and Europe. But more importantly, Uncle Ben speaks next Tuesday.

My guess is that our good Uncle won’t be market unfriendly after a quick thousand point drop.

    Robots happy for 5 minutes. Check.
