It's not necessarily a question of "who saw this coming"; it's all the interference that is run during the process. It goes back to something that I said earlier in this thread...the short side has had maybe minutes to cover at extreme lows, whereas the bull side can have hours, days (even weeks) to liquidate (it's possible that is changing)...repeat that process 5-10x and the market gets so thinned out that we see the kind of extreme action that we're seeing lately (plus the always present "Fed put" and the psychological warfare associated with that).
new intraday lows. damn nasdaq is off almost 100 points, this reminds me of the dot com days when the nasdaq would move triple digits, this is getting fun. Went long a little XIV for some fun and JDST on the dip.....
Your trading is as scattered as your sentiment...If it rallies you post something emotional, if it drops you do likewise...And just earlier you thought the s&p would break 2040, but you are going long ahead of it...
I went long XIV, yes, I did it to hedge against my gains in my portfolio that is very green today, I own a lot of TZA and SPXL so I bought some XIV today.....
I do believe it breaks 2040 however with this crazy market it could reverse in a matter of an hour and the dow could be up 100+ points, thats why I added that position....
tom lee should be on cnbc any second now, he usually likes to talk up the markets and give reasoning for his most bullish calls, especially thinking the s$p is headed to 2300+
