I was too damn early




My technical indicators have been flashing OB since Friday and now are even in the upper end of the OB range, but it doesn't matter. Stock fundamentals have been too low for a while, and with Europe looking solved for the time being and the good companies are playing "catch-up" with fair value. Damn the technicals. It's dumb to get in front of this upwards momentum. Call me dumb. I had to cover all my shorts and sell my $VXX and $EDZ today. I got aggressive with some $TZOO and still have some $AAPl, $ARCO, and $ALXN but remain almost 80% in cash. I know I'm probably going to miss a few days of upside but 20% long exposure when we're this OB is fine with me. Remember the motto: Perserve capital.


This is not a recommendation to buy or sell any securities. DAK was long TZOO at time of publication but positions can change at anytime.
