What a Run Up. Time to Pullback in Markets. Entered QID August 06, 2009
Markets are primed to pullback from this amazing run up . The SPY pretty much went straight up for almost 4 weeks. It’s having difficulty breaking the $100 mark and down volume is picking up the last 3 days. Time to go short with the SDS.
Same with the QQQQ, it’s ready to pullback having tested the $40 price point and now should go down to test $37. I entered into the QID today.

Rising on Thin Air - FAZ, ERY, BGZ May 20, 2009
The broad market went up and closed down on higher volume which means distribution. The SPY looks like a good short or buy the SDS. In yesterday’s post I mentioned I went long the FAZ and ERY which are 3x short financials and 3x short energy. The chart below shows the confirmation of selling on higher volume today in the XLF. Now let’s see if we get volume at the swing low (I circled in red) at $11.10 on more than 193 million shares then were heading down to $10 range for support.

SPY and XLE Failures - Shorting Time May 19, 2009
The SPY went up on light volume today and closed below yesterday. Price went into the May 7th big volume down day and 317 million versus 205 million. There is no buying volume. Market is coming down.
XLE (Energy ETF) also confirmed that we are coming down. Price went into Feb 10 massive down day with 56 million and we went up today on 16 million. Which way is the buying pressure? Heading down. I entered DUG (2x Short Entergy) and ERY (3x Short Energy) today.
Dug should test $22. ERY......

Option Expiration on Friday was Dull. Long CSUN, TAN May 17, 2009
The price and volume on Friday was not very eventful which means uncertainty in the market direction. I still think that we are due for a pull back going up 8 weeks and down only once. I am still short ACM, EDU, BIDU and have a few bear positions in QID, TYP but I also went long in two solar plays CSUN and TAN I bought on Friday.
CSUN chart is looking very strong as price comes down the volume dries up then on Friday it really dried up. I bought at $3.13. First target is 4.00, then $4.50.
