Long stocks=Agree starting Nov. 5th(10% discount)
Short Nat Gas=Agree in moderation
Patiently waiting for another opportunity to short Silver=Not going to happen, as ascension will be a "controlled" climb.

You are probably right, Bad. I know there is nothing magical about a 10% pullback but it still feels to me like confirmation of a healthy market.
Short silver, huh?
Reminds me, RIP Nelson Bunker Hunt.

I was about 80% in cash just before the mini crash. Then I put about 10% of my cash back in the market on the recent bump up. So I'm about 70% cash, 30% equities.
I probably should have bought a lot more equities, but I'm playing it safe. I figure it's better to miss some upside gains than to lose a lot if the market crashes.
There will be more days ahead to buy. I'll probably keep putting 10% into the market on every down day as I think the trend is still to the upside.

I'm all in VTI right now.
I think we're going to see a new high, but as soon as the S&P hits 2050, I think it's time to get out.
VTI is at $101.15 right now
I've get an order in to sell it all at $106.

You really mean $105, right?

Actually, I had it at $105, then I changed it to $106.
I may change it back to $105.
I'm not saying the S&P will plummet the second it reaches 2050, but I just can't see much upside after that.

Seriously, I meant it as a joke. I wouldn’t advertise here what you really want to buy/sell something at. It could work against you.

Why not?
I think it's a pretty safe bet that no one on these boards can affect the entire market.

Two weeks ago, the idea that the market could end October up for the month was inconceivable. Now, you'd have to say it's a favorite to do so.

It's nutty how this market has been gapping and running lately. But the market exists to try men's souls... 
Wonder what the FOMC will bring to the table tomorrow.

I got out of VTI today at $105.15.
I'm guessing there's just too many 'automatic-sells' in place for the S&P 500 to break 2050 right now.
I just can see any upside.

If you subscribe to the "biotech gives a leading indicator to the overall market" school, you made a great call.
