Short this Sucker
If you are feeling brave, this might be a great time to pick up some DIA puts. This huge rally has pushed the Dow up against a trendline, and let's face it, it's hard to resist selling into a 200+ point rally.

Buy PUT what strike/expiry?
As I watch the market day come to a close, the only word I can begin to form is "HUH?".
Why would a .25% rate hike and a lot of uncertainty about the future of rate hikes spark this rally? What did I miss?
anonymous exactly right, when the market is down next week it will be blamed on inflation and worries about how high the federal reserve is going to go. SHORT, this market, its going back down. Mutual Funds have to look good for the end of the quarter so they are buying everything up to make their funds look so much better. Market heads back down, OVERBOUGHT.
if we have good earning quarter, Dow probably push pass 11200, strengh like in Nov of 05, if not uncertainty will creps in next again month
DOW
DOW
End of quarter markups were in full effect today. A lot of bonuses got "earned" today.
Im lying on my back with my four paws in the air........a dead bear
jockgunter, I'll be doing a pretty big post today to address your question; remember, I said there was be SHORT term damage (and there has been!).
Hurricane 5.5% Max. No way, rates are going to 6%+, oil and energy are just starting to trickle in. Inflation is on the rise, Oil and gold look like they are headed back up while the dollar is dropping. This market is going back down after "inflation fears" grip the market. AAPL already down about 3%. This whole thing about options is knocking down stocks one at a time.
Technically there is no sign that this rally is over. Its in the process of forming a top, once we have a top, lets see what level it is at and then analyze.
lol I was going to mention in my eval of DIA yesterday that anything over what I put as my high was going to be very bad for the bears for the short term on DIA. I had too many lines coming together at the point where DIA opened that I didn't think it would drop back down to it once I saw it open there. I was silently hoping that I was wrong.
I see the rally continuing through tomorrow with the DOW hitting a high around 11299.14 (2-month Fib high), then drop. For next week I expect there will be a huge drop as the bulls run out of steam and the Fib was bounced off of. Will there be a test of the low? That will be answered in July.
It all depends on who grabs a hold of the market in the morning, I expect the bulls to have it, so that gives the bears time to line up ready to maul in the afternoon, maybe even starting about 11-noon.
Is Friday going to be boring this time?
jockgunter,
Tim is not a trader, he is a persistent bear. He will short every market most of the time. So his back to back posts although contradictory, are not unusual. Most of us are used to it..lol.
fellas, THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS when everyone in here is a Bear.
Everyone tries to comfort one another.
I look at the SPX, and i see a huge resistance line taken out. I look at the Dow, and I see a huge resistance line taken out. I look at the NAZ, and I see a huge resistance line taken out. By the way, 3 FREAKEN PER CENT on this INDEX???
I think we are at a point where we don't need to speculate anymore. Let the numbers speak for themselves.
I am a Bear at heart, but even I know that right now is not our time.
The volume today confirms that huge things are going to happen.
I would not be surprised if this rally carried on into next week, HELL, i woudln't be surprised if this carried onto next month.
The BUlls are eager to get their money back, and they see "bargains".
Inflation, economy slowdown, housing, these will eventually lead to the downfall, but right now, its the FED, and a short term optimism
WHO CARES about option messups at Apple. BIG DEAL. thats not going to affect the market! Apple, by the way, looks geared for a further downfall anyways. IT did 5% today, on below average volume!?
What does that say?
The indices, however, tell a different tale.
Bear long term, bull short term.
Don't stay stubborn to a losing trade, make money when money is meant to be made.
also note that today was the first time the dow closed above its 30 EMA, the last time it was above this line was May 17. And if you are a Bear, you all remember May 17 VERY VERY WELL.
(ooohhhh, spooky)
Hello Tim,
How about analysis for CMI.
Short at 109 and dead bear.
Thank you
Kapil Khanna - - get lost. I work too hard on this blog (for free) to have you post insults.
- Tim
I like bearish trades, but with day like today, right after the data came out, I went for a ride with Bulls and took some profit.
I am working on not letting my bias blinds me of current opportunities.
-Hoi
pb,
if you see my comments on this blog, i posted that the long term trend is bull, intermediate bear and short term bull. I also said that i am waiting to see if the current rally fizzles out gathers steam. At this time i am waiting for the short term trend and intermediate trend to reconcile to re-eneter the marker. Btw my last trades were all short, now i am in cash.
Tim,
That post was by no means an insult. I am sorry if it came across as that. You have admitted that you are a bear at heart on this blog several times. A true trader has no preference for any one type of market bull or bear.
Kapil - it very much came across as an insult, and I think everyone read it as such (including the "lol"). I am not a permabear, as I clearly cite circumstances that spell bull market; I give appropriate levels for when the bearish argument is damaged (or destroyed). In any case, today's market is godawful boring, so maybe I won't do a new post until after the 4th.
Tim,
No market analyst is without contradictions. If i thought your posts were not useful, why would i keep coming back? In the end it boils down to one's own personal outlook on the market. :).
I think it's far better to have contradictory points of view rather than a support group for bears, but there is no place for mockery and teenage boasting. If you've never been wrong on the market, then you're a liar.
More POV's, less childish behavior. Thank the Lord for Tim. His work is charity I can use.
I just read online of a inverse H & S pattern on the dow, is this correct????
