Gotta love ZERO RISK in the SP500 = $$$

I cannot wait for the vix to fall under 12 and complacency at full capacity because I'm going to literally buy VXX and VXX calls hand over fist. I hope it gets there very soon. Should happen as markets cross historical highs.

More then a month ago you said you'd be piling into your triple short etfs. That had to hurt. Meanwhile the exact opposite strategy would have worked rather well. Which only goes to show one of best trading indicators on here; if S2007S is adding to triple shorts, it's a great time to go long short term ( 1-3+ days ). It's been an extremely reliable indicator for years on here.

Maybe use it yourself. Next time you want to load up on triple short etfs, instead buy triple long etfs to hold anywhere from 1-2 days. Of course this would require extreme discipline to do but think of the money you'd have made the last 11 years if you had done so.

Added more triple shorts yesterday. So far today no trades. And with my retirement account a tad over in the green for 2020 I'm thinking of going 100% money market in the next week or so. Added huge contributions to it in March and April to make back quick losses while my trading accounts stayed positive while the market collapsed 30% in weeks. Anyways glad I can be the opposite reliable indicator. Thank you

how'd that work out?

 

[S2007S]

how'd that work out?

From where I purchased them:

WEBS down .90%
SKF UP 1.14%
MZZ down .45%

Not much movement..

All I know is that my retirement account has had an incredible run, I'm back up on 2 out of my 3 funds because I increased my contributions by a very large amount when markets were collapsing...now newest money is only going into bonds. Im Literally days away from taking 1/2 of it and moving it to bonds/money market.

So reason why I'm shorting in my trading portfolio is because I'm gaining nearly every day in my retirement account and I know there is no way this continues the way it has. S$p is up a staggering 40% from its lows on march 23rd. All I keep hearing is how disconnected the economy is from the markets and I know when I keep hearing that the inevitable is going to take place where the markets drop 8 or 12% and all the talking heads saying yea the market needed a pull back it was overbought, but you are hearing absolutely none of that now. Everyone is talking about fresh historical highs without any slight talk about a pull back which i feel is coming very soon. So yes I'm adding short continously as markets trade higher.

Funny, every third article I read is all about "too far, too fast", and we're correcting again soon.

To be fair to S2007 the last 3-5 days I’m reading very little on a pullback coming . Matter of fact the last 2 days the media’s now littered with explaining why we keep rising with all this bad news . It’s like many now think it’s justified . These are the same people that were saying 2700 was an insane price . Everything’s after the fact . It sure feels like bears are tired,worn out and throwing the towel in . As I’ve written on other threads I started the rally puts the decline to Shame in context to all the bad news plus we just finished the longest greatest bull mkt of all time .Botton line were still rising and you must respect that . Let’s see what happens by sept .

Hmmm. Maybe that's the reason we are moving higher.

Yes I'm hearing the news and reading the articles. Had cnbc on today and the same thing about all the disconnects going on and stocks continuing to rise hand over fist day in and day out. But with this mentality of thinking this will continue consistently till who knows when is getting a bit redundant. I mean even the bullish of the bulls would even acknowledge a 2 or 3% pullback, but im not even hearing that. The consistent talk of liquidity in the market is the reason these markets are running higher thanks to fed printing unimaginable amounts of dollars...if markets pull back say 4% in 2 days all we will hear is that the markets were overbought and ahead of themselves but like I said im hearing nothing about even the slightest of pullbacks ...ill still be adding my short positions in micro amounts as my retirement account races higher day after day.

 

[S2007S]

Articles like this make we want to put everything on the short side.....but of course that third reason of nothing but fed stimulus keeping this overbought market even more overbought is the same exact reason we had continous highs and record breaking equity runs for over a decade after the last collapse. The fed pump.is literally continuous day in and day out.

KEY POINTS

• Stocks continue to rally, even as many American cities remain under curfews and are bracing for continued protests.
• Analysts said the protests may be alarming, but they are not impacting the stock market, which remains fixated on the economy’s reopening.
• A big factor keeping the markets going is the trillions in stimulus from the Fed, other central banks and governments around the world.
