By -

+ Completely muffed GLD short; took a loss;

+ Utterly made up for it with well-timed GDX and SLV shorts (long since covered);

+ Entered day with about 150 shorts; expanded to over 200; have since trimmed to about 190, and going through all stops, tightening them one by one;

+ Have had good success with ETF shorts, such as ILF, HHH, SPY, EWZ, EWS, and others;

+ Excellent profits today, although intraday profit is about 20% off its peak for the day.
