Scared witless. August 25, 2008
After watching the completely irrational market for the last 2 weeks , trying to rise on not a bit of good news, I find myself really afraid. There is a blog called "afraid to trade". This is exactly how I feel, afraid to put a single position on in this market.
I think the market's current optimism is not going to end well. I am closing all long positions I can and buying ultra-short ETFs. I might be a bit early. But I can't do nothing when it seems that we are about to fall of the cliff.

IBD - confirmed rally July 29, 2008
IBD says we are in confirmed rally. I find it hard to accept. I think it will fizzle. It just doesn't make sense to me. Finacial rally, airlines rally on bad earnings, energy stocks drop on good earnings. But Iam going to close my hort positions just in case.
On the other hand, a rally would do a world of good to my long only IRA account, down 10% from the last year high.
P.S. Saw an article about Covestor in the IBD today. It makes a good point that the socila investing sites like Covetor......

MTL - crazy Russian July 24, 2008
MTL is down 35% today after Putin's critical comments about MTL's pricing and personal attack on the main shareholder. Of course, Igor Zuizin is scared witless. He didn't even have the nerve to attend the metallurgy meeting where he was explicitly invited and where all this happened. Ok, Igor, show some responsibility to the shareholders ( or more likely your own money) and get back into Putin's good graces. Yukos's example was so terrifying that it is unlikely MTL will risk the same fate.
Hmm.......

OXY - oily and unloved July 24, 2008
I sold most of my oil stocks 3 weeks ago at the top. I kept OXY because I felt it had more upside to it. Well, it kept going down and down and down. When the market chooses a victim, there is nothing you can do about it.
It beat earnings estimates today and it is still down 2%. And it is tying money in my trading account. It seems I am going to hold OXY for a looooooong time until it recovers. I am sure the oil ill come back in a month or so, and so will the energy stocks.
