Kicking it off. I will try to post charts starting from tomorrow.

Anyway, I think the only odds play on the ES right now is long. Long, or out.

Let me be clear. My viewpoint here is nursing a short on some 'in case', but I realize the likely futility in that, and I can see it being done before I finish this post.

I also realize, though, that if they are going to let this drop, they will want to shake everyone out first. But I really feel the urge to be long, and with a big position. Now I ponder if this is just what they want it to look like so they can shake everyone out and drop it. This one is tricky. I usually just stand aside when it's not extremely clear.

They so want to gun this into the close. I feel like I'm on the mechanical bull at Gilley's. They want everyone off this. I can't get any read at all about the direction. I simply can't see it at all right now. Wow, are they good.

Sit on a partial short and see, that's my view.

Okay, I think the odds are increasing this is ready to pop.

Okay, this is good. But, the really interesting part is they made me think, even as I knew the games they were playing, that it was finally going to pop, and then they took it to new lows. Like I said, for me, this is just a ride the short with a partial and try to stay on the mechanical bull as they try to shake everyone out first play, but they really did a great job making me crave being heavy long. Oh, well, they didn't get me. But they more than succeeded in making me want it...

I'm curious now to see if that bigger sweep leads to a pop up, or not. Or will it just grind out the clock down here somewhere.

took half my short from this am off on that pop....half on just in case

Give it to me, baby.

yeah, they are funny
