I'm not afraid to accumulate some unleveraged shorts here, but I won't be afraid to get rid of them for a profit either. I'm not inclined to be long anything next week at these levels, even for an intended 10 minute trade.
While the periphery breaks down rather slowly at first, the capital cities of the hegemon should collapse suddenly and violently.

I share your caution Higg, and I shall not be going long myself. But the facts are that the S&P 500 gained every day last week and ended up on Friday at a record high. The wind of madness is blowing strongly into the sails. Add to this that Biden seems rampant in his eagerness to print more money and do dumb things and the market thinks this boom will go on forever. At the time of writing futures are up.
For us it's not a case of not going long. We are not idiots. The question is when to go short? We are like prophets who accurately read the sign of the times, but we cannot accurately forecast timing. It's obvious that catastrophe will overwhelm the market at some stage; but when is the question?
I don't live in America but even so I have a feeling of dread on what this Senate trial of Trump might unleash upon the nation. If this market plays to bubble formula not even that will bring sanity. What then? Panic!!! But what it will be we do not know

My top concerns for the market are the rising 30 year treasury rate and the rising oil price. It doesn't seem to me that the country can afford either. That should put pressure on an already fragile situation. I think the 1987 crash was attributed to rising interest rates and the 1973/1974 bear market was attributed to a rising oil price.

This morning I held my nose and traded a volatile stock. Also increased shorts a bit.

My best guess for the top of this market is March 26, 2021 plus or minus a lot. We know my track record has been very poor. I think the most critical read is going to be, once that top comes, do you hold short or look for lots of volatility for awhile?

we can trend the 39xx sentiment
book 2 10.96%

As we noted the rest of the year as opportunity costs.

They didn't win this election, except by massive, in-your-face fraud. They weren't even subtle about it. Its one of those, "yeah, and what are you going to do about it?" things. I believe they have positioned themselves so that they will now win every election for all eternity. We'll be hanging politicians from lamp poles and the dead will still be elected to office. Not understanding that Trump was the only thing they had going for them, the Republicans are gleeful and believe they can wrest their party from his clutches and get back to business as usual. They'll never get another vote or a dime from me.
