Well, going on what many people call 'a top'. SPX hits a top at around 2520-2530, which means any SPX shorts beyond this point will be good plays. I can just tell you what my strategy is..doesnt mean it is right. Going long on both JNUG and TVIX at SPX of 2520 - 2530. some of the best money will be made profiting from the downside...:)

CLVS...anyone? Ferris? Bueller?



Opened first position to test this out...divergence of RSI. Although bought lower; I'll use close of $76.74 to track its progress.

Thank you to Mac for the Guppy inspired looking chart!

Selling 80% of my XIV position @$92.75. Will be going away and cannot watch.

Using ACB of $79.26, approximately 17% return in about a month.

Have I seen this before? Big name tech stocks/top performing sector taking a hit (profit taking) right before October? Interestingly enough, XIV barely budged. FANG getting hit today.

Big money shaking the tree so the lil joes bail.....

Back in the saddle XIV using EOD $93.80. Not super happy with the entry...but going with the signal. added 1/5 tranche.


Bought INDL with 1/10 of the tranche $78.08


Bought LBJ with 1/10 tranche at $35.67


Bought YINN with 1/10 tranche at $28.27

Well...maybe that unscientific "gut feel" was right about being "uneasy".

Now, I'll have to manage these trades. I will probably take profits in XIV (sell all) and then scale into the other positions. Have to wait and see.
