Not Looking to Chase Here

I am loaded up to the long side here, but feel there is one more test of the low end of this range coming early next week.

I mentioned at the start of the week that this consolidation would look similar to the one that started in February earlier this year. Here is what that correction looked like…

February:

FEBSPX

May:

MAYSPX

The range in February lasted roughly 10 days. I’m counting the start of this recent range from Wednesday the 22nd. I think we are in for another few days of this into mid-week next week.

This is where the McClellan might become of use, and the divergences that were discussed yesterday might materialize.

I’m not chasing much here today. I have taken two Lotto Friday positions this morning in GOOG and AMZN. These will need to be closed before the bell tomorrow, as will AAPL, GS and BIDU’s expiring this week.

    The Clowns on CNBC are the only ones buying here. This market has a date with sub 1600 in weeks to come.

      So how do you play this market then? Sit on the sideline pissed all year?

      Wait for 2 or 3 2-3% corrections to take a few trades?

      In 2008 optionaddict continue to profit on the bull side in potash and energy names, while also making occasional puts in the banks such as bear sterns and Lehman for monster gains.

      In other words, it doesn’t matter what “the market” does as long as you can still trade individual stocks and recognize setups to “bank coin” off of.

      Carry on.

      If you took your own advice and read Ragin Cajun you would have seen the part where he said “option addict is the best I have ever seen”…. Have fun going “all in” on your cash position.

      P.s. the dollar was down half a percent today while optionaddict’s account continues to appreciate over time in good times and bad.

      P.p.s. owned

      I post many here in the chat, but can’t get them all. I do run an advisory, where everything is posted in real time.
