Now It Gets Tricky

As excruciating as it was getting to the "X" spot, it was pretty obvious there was weakness in store. The huge question now is how much weakness? I already went long 20 /ES today just to hedge my 45 put positions (!) in my personal account. If we start getting some strength, I'd like to participate in it. I don't think today is going to clear out all the air in the market. I'm not ready to be an aggressive buyer yet.
