I see.
What would have technical analysis alone told us about the markets in 1999, though?
Nasdaq from that period even easier to see. I shorted both S and P and Nasdaq by the way well before the big drops.

First of all, let me say--that an all in bet on a top here is rookie at best. It shows a gambling streak within Pabst albeit the "all in" is just a login with ET. It does though belie an impulsive and dangerous tendency of the OP. Now to my analysis-- While the daily chart is bumping the RSI Overbought line, we are still in a strong uptrend. There could be a pullback here or a full reversal, but we need more information to be able to confirm that. I believe that a pulback would be more likely to be met with more buying and then a move higher. That can change at anytime, but right now, there is no reason to be long term short(not talking about intraday charts etc). Attached is my ES weekly chart showing the strong uptrend on weekly. I would say that a close below 1321.50 would indicate a possible short term top on the daily (the chart here is weekly). I will post the monthly today as well. Comments are welcome. Right now, long is the way to be long term.![]()

Thank you for your question Option. This one was one of my best trades as I began shorting in late Auggie 87.

If you don't see the parallel between 2000 and 2006 then why would I believe that you were short "just before the big drops" in 2000?
You've stated the following: you were short in 1987 and 2000 (uptrending markets) but 2006 is not a good short because it's an uptrending market. Me thinks you're full of shit.

If I may interdict. I don't know Ishmael personally but he hasn't come across as a liar to me. I have been reading his posts during the year and most of his stuff seems to come from somebody who is very successful in this business.
